The ‘Jungle Cruise’ features Emily and Dwayne and the other stars of the film. It puts on display essence the glimpses of the journey and the hurdles faced by them. ‘Jungle Cruise’ movie’s story centers around a brother (Jack Whitehall) and sister (Blunt) duo, who hire a boat captain (Johnson) to row them down the Amazon River as they are in pursuit of a tree believed to have healing powers.
Johnson promises his boat ride to be the cheapest yet the most thrilling for him is to take them through places infested with aggressive jungle natives. What adds a twist to their journey is a competing German expedition.
Set in the early 20s and shot in some exotic locations, it is to be seen if Blunt, her brother and Johnson make it to the magical tree or not.
Spanish filmmaker Jaume Collet-Serra has directed the film inspired by the famous Disneyland theme park ride. Apart from Blunt, Whitehall and Johnson, the film also stars Edgar Ramirez, Jesse Plemons and Paul Giamatti in pivotal roles. The film is bankrolled by Johnson along with John Fox, John David, Hiram Garcia, Dany Garcia and Beau Flynn. (ANI)
