Jungle Cruise Trailer
Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt are showing off their sparkling chemistry in Jungle Cruise, which follows a boat captain (Johnson) tasked with taking a woman (Blunt) and her brother (Jack Whitehall) to a mythical tree with magical healing powers. It’s a relatively simple adventure story that Johnson and Blunt have compared to the 1984 romantic comedy-adventure Romancing the Stone.
“The movie will be big and epic,” Johnson said at the D23 presentation of Jungle Cruise earlier this summer. “It has romance, comedy, big action, and most importantly, it has me.”
The Jungle Cruise ride was one of Walt Disney’s first pet projects, a Disney Parks attraction that simulated a riverboat cruise down several major rivers of Asia, Africa and South America. Walt Disney himself was reportedly the very first skipper for the ride’s opening day, which makes the upcoming Jungle Cruise an important live-action film for director Jaume Collet-Serra (The Commuter) to get right.
Jungle Cruise is set to sail into theaters on July 24, 2020.
