Walt Disney Pictures have toyed with the idea of making a movie using the Jungle Cruise ride for sometime now... since 2002 or so, I believe. It appears now they are much more serious about it.
Their goal is to make it a Summer/Holiday event and even though there is no director attached the project is being viewed as a possible Christmas 2008 release or Summer 2009 should events drag on. All this is subject to change depending on if the script(by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar of Smallville, Shanghai Noon/Knights and The Mummy 3, no less) is greenlit, a director is found and casting of actors goes smoothly(translate that as getting an "A" list actor to sign on).
Can "It's A Small World" the movie be far behind? Uhg... I hope not. I have a hard enough time getting that song out of my head now. Let me see... what other properties can they milk... err, I mean exploit. Indy... nope, done that. Finding Nemo Subs... nahh, that's been done too! Well, I don't know 'bout you... but I'd love to see a new version of Davy Crockett, ala: Pirates of the Caribbean style. How 'bout we see if Russell Crowe is free for a few months of filming and Michael Mann will agree to pull it in under three hours with a PG-13 rating? What am I saying??? That's SUCH wishful thinking...
