Disney has released a new trailer forJungle Cruise, the classic park attraction film adaptation starringDwayne JohnsonandEmily Blunt, for which metal bandMetallicacomposed the official soundtrack. It sure sounds like a crazy ride, but the new trailer shows we are going to have a lot of fun at the heart of the Amazonian forest, which is more than we can expect from such a weird concept.
The trailer opens up with an action scene in which Dr. Lily Houghton (Blunt) and Frank Wolff (Johnson) try to escape some unidentified goons. We get then a brief summary of the movie’s plot, in which Blunt’s London researcher hires Johnson’s boat captain to find a mythical tree hidden in the jungle, which legends say can cure any disease. Dr. Lily seems to be honest in her intentions of bringing medical advancements for all mankind, but there is a lot of dangers in their way, including wild animals, traps, monsters, andJesse Plemonsas a German villain inside a submarine armed with torpedoes. It can’t get much crazier than this.

“Inspired by the famous Disneyland theme park ride, Disney’s “Jungle Cruise” is an adventure-filled, rollicking thrill-ride down the Amazon with wisecracking skipper Frank Wolff and intrepid researcher Dr. Lily Houghton. 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.”
