first off ... i searched for a thread about this but nothing came up

but anyways i was on ultimatedisney.com and was looking at the upcoming disney movies and under movies for 2006 but not yet finalized i found this

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, and this one is also a Disney/Mandeville production, which will likely start early in 2006.

so i thought i would just tell yall this

Another movie based on a Disney attraction. I just hope if they do make this that it is as good as Pirates. Haunted Mansion was OK, not bad, and Country Bears stunk.

I hope they do well with this one. Pirates has been the only good attraction movie. I think Haunted Mansion could have been amazing and great movie, but they did not expound on the great storyline they set up.

Pirates was good, granted.
Country Bears...wow, talk about horrible. even worse than Napoleon Dynamite. ;)
And as for Haunted Mansion...once was enough, unlike Pirates, which I watch on a daily basis. :)
I'll probs. go see it, just to see it, as I haven't not seen a Disney attraction based movie, so....
it'll probs. be horrible.

Unless this curse plans on transporting the "group" to the various rivers across the globe, I don't see how the movie would be very accurate to the ride. Besides, the ride is already based off of "The African Queen."

I liked Pirates, and I thought that the Madame Leota in The Haunted Mansion was HILARIOUS. I watched it a second time just so i could laugh at her crazy comments. I do agree that the story could have been better for HM, though.

So yeah. I don't know about this Jungle Cruise movie. I think Big Thunder Mountain Railroad would make a GREAT movie.

I don't see the problem.....

Back in Walt's day, many attractions were based on films....why is it a bad move to reverse this process?

If anything, it expands the franchise, and perhaps gives some new life to the attraction.

I would love to see The American Adventure done into a mini-series

Speck, the post was an allusion to a famous line in literature. The original post made an allusion to Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Here is the exerpt:

Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness said:
"His was an impenetrable darkness. I looked at him as you peer down at a man who is lying at the bottom of a precipice where the sun never shines. But I had not much time to give him, because I was helping the engine-driver to take to pieces the leaky cylinders, to straighten a bent connecting-rod, and in other such matters. I lived in an infernal mess of rust, filings, nuts, bolts, spanners, hammers, ratchet-drills -- things I abominate, because I don't get on with them. I tended the little forge we fortunately had aboard; I toiled wearily in a wretched scrap-heap -- unless I had the shakes too bad to stand.

"One evening coming in with a candle I was startled to hear him say a little tremulously, 'I am lying here in the dark waiting for death.' The light was within a foot of his eyes. I forced myself to murmur, 'Oh, nonsense!' and stood over him as if transfixed.

"Anything approaching the change that came over his features I have never seen before, and hope never to see again. Oh, I wasn't touched. I was fascinated. It was as though a veil had been rent. I saw on that ivory face the expression of sombre pride, of ruthless power, of craven terror -- of an intense and hopeless despair. Did he live his life again in every detail of desire, temptation, and surrender during that supreme moment of complete knowledge? He cried in a whisper at some image, at some vision -- he cried out twice, a cry that was no more than a breath:

"'The horror! The horror!'

"I blew the candle out and left the cabin. The pilgrims were dining in the mess-room, and I took my place opposite the manager, who lifted his eyes to give me a questioning glance, which I successfully ignored. He leaned back, serene, with that peculiar smile of his sealing the unexpressed depths of his meanness. A continuous shower of small flies streamed upon the lamp, upon the cloth, upon our hands and faces. Suddenly the manager's boy put his insolent black head in the doorway, and said in a tone of scathing contempt:

"'Mistah Kurtz -- he dead.'

If you haven't read the book, I'd suggest doing so. Conrad's style is very complex, but artistic. (Makes me mad that English wasn't his first language!) My apologies in advance if you have read it.

And an AA mini-series doesn't sound bad. So long as it doesn't take over the original show. :lol:

I never read Heart of Darkness......but I did recognize the quote (I did see Apocolypse Now, which was partly based on that book)
