It was just announced that megastar
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will star in a new Disney live-action movie based on
Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise ride. A script is currently in the works. The
attraction, which has operated since the park’s opening in 1955, and which simulates a riverboat cruise down several major rivers of Asia, Africa, and South
America, features jungles filled with “dangerous” Audio-Animatronic animals and
reptiles, and a skipper who fires his gun to scare off a rogue hippo. (The
original plan for the ride was to use real animals, but the animals would have
been sleeping during the day.)
