Last month, Dwayne Johnson announced that he would be starring in the big screen adaptation of Disney’s The Jungle Cruise attraction. The new movie is slated for a production start date of spring 2018.
Now, before the movie finds a director, Johnson has made a very startling announcement for the ride on Instagram.
That’s right, Johnson and his production team are working on a reimagination of the classic Disney attraction, The Jungle Cruise.
There are no other details, but with this year’s D23 Expo in July, we suspect there could be a few details on the new attraction, as well as the new film.
It’s not unheard of for an attraction to get a makeover after a movie is a huge success, look at Pirates as an example. However, it is rather unusual to see it happen before the film even starts filming.
The new film is said to be an adventure comedy, and will feature references to the ride, and probably some familiar scenes. Really makes you winder how they’re going to work in the backside of water.
