I hope this is good, but not good enough for them to change the ride.

Love me some Emily Blunt. She's going to be an awesome Mary Poppins

I think you are confusing animatronics for projection mapping.

The movie's tone is really going to be the key to whether or not it works.

Blunt and Johnson are really charming, appealing performers, so that obviously helps. Collet-Serra seems, on the surface, to be a baffling choice to helm a family-appropriate adventure film, but if one looks deeper at his movies, one will find he's a pretty self-aware filmmaker with a very playful side. THE COMMUTER, from earlier this year, was a fun and fairly stylish B-movie that knew exactly what it was trying to be.

Jungle Cruise has gotten delayed by 9 months.

Still excited. That set looks AMAZING!!

Didn't they already wrap up filming? What would cause such a lengthy delay?

Guess they want to avoid releasing this so close to the Jumanji sequel?

That’s what I was thinking. Either that or to get away from a cluttered release schedule in general... or, worst case scenario, because it’s terrible and the studio is ordering reshoots. I don’t think that’s the case though, they can usually push that type of thing through fast and make a release date, or close to, it if they wanted to.

The first trailer has dropped.

Looks fun and I could see this becoming their new pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

 

[JungleSkip]

Man...The Rock should not have been in this IMO. Everything else looks good, but he looks really out of place for the part he's playing.

Looks better than expected. I also liked the fake cruise as a nice tribute to the ride without feeling kind of forced.

I'm also getting a major 'Mummy' vibe with this.

I’m sold for this movie. This looks like pure fun.

 

[belloq87]

Looks like it could be a fun adventure throwback.

Agreed, it looks really fun and I'm definitely seeing it
