New "Big Adventure" Featurette for Disney's JUNGLE CRUISE with Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt
Disney has released a new Jungle Cruise featurette titled "Big Adventure,” and it obviously focuses on the adventure aspect of the movie. It features Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt discussing the theme park ride that the movie is based on before talking about the characters that they play in the film.
As someone who enjoys finding and embarking on his adventures, it’s fun to watch these kinds of over-the-top adventure films. While some people may roll their eyes at a movie like this, the ten-year-old kid in most of us would love it.
The movie is described as an “adventure-filled, rollicking thrill-ride down the Amazon,” and the story follows “wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff (Johnson) and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton (Blunt). 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.”
Jungle Cruise was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and also stars Jesse Plemons, Edgar Ramirez, and Jack Whitehall. The movie is set to be released in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access on July 30, 2021.
