Johnson Signed On To Star in Disney’s Live-Action “Jungle Cruise” Film – Based on the Park’s Famous Ride

Congratulations to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson who recently signed a huge contract with Disney to star in “Jungle Cruise”. The contract marks the biggest of Johnson’s career.

Productive script breakdown here in Hawaii with my JUNGLE CRUISE team. Producers @flynnpictureco @hhgarcia41 @scotify. Writer, Justin Haythe and my phenomenal Spanish director (white t shirt) Jaume Collet Serra. Feeling good about our world creation with this movie. Stakes and responsibilities are big… so much so I demand DJ BALLOONS be brought in and hung over Beau Flynn’s head when we have production meetings. It helps me focus. #DISNEY #JUNGLECRUISE 🎈🚢

Johnson said he was pretty nervous signing the contract, “About fifteen years ago, I dreamed of this moment. I saw the first trailer for Pirates Of The Caribbean and I thought, ‘Man, one day I would love to make a movie for Disney based off a legendary ride.’ And here we are today.”

Emily Blunt and Paul Giamatti will also star in the movie with Johnson, and production is set to begin this week.

Stay strong Kauai! 🤙🏾 Thank you to all the rescue workers and volunteers working tirelessly to help rebuild our communities and assist our local families. Proud of our fighting spirit and proud to bring our JUNGLE CRUISE production back home to HAWAII. * LINK TO DONATE IN MY BIO #MalamaKauai #Rebuild #KauaiStrong
