Great Chemistry on Jungle Cruise
Jungle Book, based on the ubiquitous Disneyland and Magic Kingdom attractions, looks to be next summer’s Disney blockbuster.
However, it’s nice to get some details about the movie in the now, even as we have more than a year to go and principle photography looked to have ended some time ago.
My favorite bit of info from the above is Rock writing to Emily Blunt: “You play the female version of INDIANA JONES brilliantly with a relentless ambition to find the one, elusive magical thing that could change humanity for the better – forever.”
Looking to 2020
I mean, that’s not much to go on, but the provenance of the movie is pretty good. The theme park attractions were loosely based on The African Queen, which starred Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn.
And we’ve previously seen Emily Blunt in an action-packed role via Edge of Tomorrow:


Edge of Tomorrow (Warner Bros).
And The Rock has been one of the world’s top stars for some time. However, we’ve seen both in comedic roles, and that combo of “action” and comedy seems just right for Jungle Cruise. And that’s especially so after re-examining the trailer for The African Queen:
I really wish the movie was coming out this summer. But how about you? Are you looking forward to Jungle Cruise?
