Disney's upcoming attempt at capturing the ride turned film glory of Pirates of the Caribbean just keeps piling on more & more talent. According to a THR exclusive, Paul Giamatti will now be joining Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson & Emily Blunt to brave the dangers of Jungle Cruise. We also get some small plot details. Johnson will play a boat captain who takes his sister (Emily Blunt) and her brother (Jack Whitehall) on a mission to find a tree believed to possess healing powers. Throw in some wild animals and a competing German expedition as well just for fun. Giamatti was perfectly selected to play a crusty harbormaster. They're looking to start later this month and shoot through the summer. Beau Flynn, John Davis and John Fox are producing, as are Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia. Scott Sheldon is co-producing, with Jaume Collet-Serra, the filmmaker behind The Shallows, The Commuter and Non-Stop. That's definitely not the best lineup of films right there, but fingers crossed. Either way, this thing just keeps adding talent in front of the camera. Giamatti is one of my favorite hit or miss actors. We he's on he's amazing, but when he's off.... Rhino. Anyway, what do y'all think of this addition or these plot details? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
