The Jungle Cruise movie is due for release next year, with a screenplay by Josh Goldstein and John Norville (<i>Tin Cup</i>). A remake of Swiss Family Robinson is also supposed to start filming this year, which might be a case of movie-inspiringattraction-inspiring-new-movie!!! To give Disney their credit, the PotC movie series was an inspired move, with great casting and script-writing. The trailers for No 2 already look superb, and you just hope they don't run out of steam for No 3. It is a tall order to hit the mark three times in a row (unless you are Pixar!!), and you just hope they don't overplay their hand with the same characters. The other fascination, obviously, is the PotC ride in both WDW and DL being up-dated with elements from the movie series - the first example of ride-to-movie-to-ride synergy!

I don't know how reliable this information is, but UltimateDisney.com has a list of possible movie releases for the year 2007 (POTCIII is mentioned in it as well), but the scary bit is the following: <i>"Jungle Cruise - On the heels of big screen adventures Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion comes this latest film inspired by a Disneyland attraction. Described as a family version of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, this comedy/adventure will follow a group which travels upriver to find a cure. The screenplay was written by Josh Goldstein and John Norville (Tin Cup), and this one is also a Disney/Mandeville production. Originally slated to start early in 2006, this has since been delayed with 2007 release now looking unlikely."</i> Let's hope this isn't true...or that it will be a spectacular movie following in the foodsteps of the POTC trilogy. However, I personally fear that it will be more or less a Haunted Mansions failure... source: http://www.ultimatedisney.com/intheaters.html Unfortunately I have some bad news.
