Dwayne Johnson is working on a lot of projects at the same time, and one of his future films is Jungle Cruise. We have found out that the director of this movie will be Jaume Collet-Serra, whereas the film will be based on the classic theme park ride. The star of this movie will, of course, be the former WWE wrestler Dwayne Johnson also known as The Rock.
If you don’t know who Collet-Serra is, we will mention his films here. He is known for horror movies such as the 2009 hit film called Orphan, but he also directed House of Wax and last year’s The Shallows. Furthermore, he worked with Liam Neeson on movies such as Unknown, Non-Stop and Run All Night. According to several reports, the upcoming Suicide Squad 2 was supposed to be directed by Collet-Serra, but that will not happen as he will cooperate with Johnson on the new Disney film. Below, you can see what Dwayne thought about this. He posted a photo on Instagram and wrote:
“It’s OFFICIAL: Visionary filmmaker Jaume-Collet Serra will direct our Disney’s #JungleCruise. I’m a “gut and instincts” guy, and all I need is to get face to face with someone to know. After meeting with Jaume, I knew he was our guy. I feel Jaume (he last directed THE SHALLOWS) is going to bring this very cool vision and stylistic edge to our film. Heart and soul and fun romanticism for audiences around the world. This is a massive beloved Disney property and theme park ride that I hold with boundless respect and love.”
He added: “Our @sevenbucksprod is grateful to have this opportunity to partner with Disney, Jaume, our producing partners Dany Garcia, Beau Flynn, John Davis and John Fox and deliver something epic and magical for the world to enjoy. And finally, as your Jungle Cruise skipper, I’m going to need you to keep your arms, legs and head inside my boat. Trust me, you’ll want to keep them inside my boat. Especially your head. Pre production begins NOW to start shooting in the spring of 2018. #JungleCruise The cruise of a lifetime..”
