For two years , Disney hashad a deal in placewith Dwayne Johnson to make a pic based on its iconic theme park drive , Jungle Cruise . Just when it was starting to seem like it would never pass , he ’s now formally signed on — and product will begin in 2018 .
The film does not yet have a music director .
The Hollywood newsman broke the news . Apparently , after years of development , the tardy version of the script by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay was hold worthy . Plus , somehow , Johnson found a break in his madly engaged schedule to make it . He ’s about to frivol away the video secret plan version Rampage , followed by the action at law pic Skyscraper , and will then do press for Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle at the end of the yr before get to mould on Jungle Cruise .
That ’s three out of four movies that will likely feature Johnson fight jumbo brute .
At Disney Theme Parks , Jungle Cruise is a slow water supply drive where people turn on around and look at dated animatronic creature . Because it ’s not exactly that thrilling , the ship captains tell ace - cringeworthy jest throughout the experience , making it not only voguish , but comic . And the idea of Johnson playing a grinder in that vein kind of fills me with joy .
Another greenback is the curious timing of this batch . It comes simple day after Sony debutedsome very fun footageof Johnson in Jumanji , which obviously has a similar esthetic to what one would require from Jungle Cruise . You have to wonder if executive thought , “ Hey , do n’t we have something like this in the works ? ” and dusted it off before long thereafter . If Jungle Cruise does end up filming in early 2018 , it seems like a spring or summer 2019 outlet would be in the cards . Johnson can next be seen in The Fate of the Furious and Baywatch , neither of which will see him fighting any animals … that we know of .
