Tom Hanks and Tim Allen Book a Jungle Cruise

Quote:

Walt Disney Pictures has confirmed that the studio has cast "Toy Story" franchise voice stars Tom Hanks and Tim Allen in the big screen adaptation of Disney's theme park ride Jungle Cruise. The studio released the following statement:

The Walt Disney Studios is excited to be in development with Mandeville Films and writer Roger S.H. Schulman on a feature film based on the Jungle Cruise, one of the most iconic attractions in Disney theme park history. The film will pair up Tim Allen and Tom Hanks in their first live-action project, after their previous collaborations in the Toy Story trilogy.‬

Mandeville's David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman will produce.

The popular ride has visitors traveling the rivers of the jungle guided by a riverboat skipper and encountering wild animals as they cruise.

Sounds good to me.

Tom Hanks better be the crazy ass skipper.

I'm greatly looking forward to this. It could end up being a great adventure/comedy. This has a lot of potential to be really fun. Hope it turns out well.

Wow, will be fun to see Hanks return back to his comedic roots, hopefully this film is in the same atmosphere/tone of early Hanks stuff like The Burbs and Joe vs The Volcanoe.

This sounds like it will either be awesome or terrible!

Why did I get images of "Old Dogs" and "Wild Hogs" in my head??

Hopefully this will be better then those two movies. (which isn't exactly setting the bar very high.)

Yeah, I'm sure Allen will cook up some lame joke about the cruise going "to infinity and beyond"...

Yeah, I'm on the same level as these two, it could be done well, but there is a lot of evidence pointing to a flop

I think it'll just be a fun ride, hopefully Disney will give us several nods to Toy Story in this movie.
