NEW TRAILER FOR THE ROCK'S 'JUNGLE CRUISE' RELEASED

Disney released a new trailer for The Rock's forthcoming feature film Jungle Cruise this morning:

The film, based on the iconic Disney ride of the same name, will feature Dwayne Johnson as the captain of a small riverboat that takes a group of travelers through a jungle filled with dangerous animals and reptiles.  Emily Blunt and Jesse Plemons will also star in the film.  Johnson has been working with Disney on updating their classic Jungle Cruise ride to coincide with the film, with a newer version of the ride just debuting in California's Disneyland.

Promotional material for the film, which will be released in both theaters and streaming on Disney+, notes, "Inspired by the famous Disneyland theme park ride, Disney’s Jungle Cruise is an adventure-filled, rollicking thrill-ride down the Amazon with wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton. Lily travels from London, England to the Amazon jungle and enlists Frank’s questionable services to guide her downriver on La Quila—his ramshackle-but-charming boat. Lily is determined to uncover an ancient tree with unparalleled healing abilities—possessing the power to change the future of medicine. Thrust on this epic quest together, the unlikely duo encounters innumerable dangers and supernatural forces, all lurking in the deceptive beauty of the lush rainforest. But as the secrets of the lost tree unfold, the stakes reach even higher for Lily and Frank and their fate—and mankind’s—hangs in the balance."

Johnson, Dani Garcia and their Seven Bucks Productions will also be creating and producing a new documentary series Behind the Attraction for the new Disney+ streaming service:  The documentary series will dive into the inspiration, background and creation of the top attractions at the Disney theme parks. 

“Since 1955, when Disneyland first opened its doors, the rides and attractions have been impacting generations in such a fun and magical way around the world. This first-of-its-kind series will bring you behind the scenes to experience and celebrate how these beloved attractions creatively came to be. Hope to make Walt and the ‘mouse house’ proud with this one,” said Johnson in a statement on the Disney website. 

The series' first season will feature ten one hour episodes.  There is no word when that series will debut.
