Practically Perfect Poster...

Now that this is an example of art…

A lot of times of poster falls under the slavish dominion of a marketing department obsessed with stars.  Where poster will convey nothing of the story, no semblance of art or creativity.  Just a bland picture of an actor saying: "see this!".

Now, while this poster does have the stars, it also conveys what it's about in a very creative way.  The shadows beneath each actor represent the persona of each character they're playing without saying a word.  Very good job, marketing department.

Very good indeed…

Deadline Hollywood is reporting that the long in development, "Jungle Cruise" film may be pushing through the brush...

This project has been developing for a while, with screenwriters Miles Millar and Alfred Gough turning in a draft over a year ago. The renewed interest is because of the possibility of attaching Tom Hanks and Tim Allen together on the family adventure.

Roger S.H. Schulman has been hired to write, or rewrite the script and David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman are producing the film through their Mandeville Films production shingle. No director is on board yet. Let's cross our fingers that this doesn't wind up something like "Haunted Mansion" with Eddie Murphy. Humor is fine, but this should be a film focusing on adventure and exploration, and not turn into a comedic, safari version of "Jumanji." Will it make it out of development to filming? Development Hell is littered with projects that never saw the light of day. Then again, projects that have come to fruition only to crash and burn are endless as well.

To infinity and beyond...

UPDATE: The Studio has released a 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.‬
