Talking about the movie and how it incorporates the traditional idea behind the sea sail, producer Beau Flynn said, `From the beginning it was really important to us to incorporate as much of the Jungle Cruise and Disneyland mythology into this story. First and foremost are the puns. They are a critical part of the attraction and thanks to Disney's Imagineers, there were thousands of puns, jokes and facts that we cherry-picked our way through.` He added, `We've curated a wonderful mix of puns and jokes throughout the movie. I think that the fans of the ride will particularly appreciate it, but everyone loves a good pun!`
Explaining the key elements in the movie and what one should expect to see, director Jaume Collet-Serra said, `The big star of the actual Jungle Cruise ride is the backside of water. So we knew that we couldn't make a movie or a jungle cruise without that being featured. Throughout the movie, we have little nuggets and Easter eggs that are from the ride. There are a lot of piranhas, which are highly featured in the ride, and fake snakes. Then there are the little things like having the gun and a holster near the wheel of the boat. That's something that is in every boat in the Jungle Cruise ride. We've kept things like that.`
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, Jungle Cruise stars Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, Edgar RamÃrez and Jack Whitehall, with Jesse Plemons and Paul Giamatti. The Disney Studios film is set to release on 24th September, 2021 in Indian cinemas in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
