The original Jungle Cruise boat ride first opened in July 1955 at Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif. and has been amusing visitors ever since.
Over the years, the river has changed with the addition of an elephant bathing pool, gorillas and a new piranha scene. Disney also updated the ride by removing racist and colonial depictions just in time for the release of “Jungle Cruise,” in theaters and streaming on Disney Plus Premier.
The film’s production designer, Jean-Vincent Puzos, had several extensive sets to oversee: a London scene for the movie’s opening and closing and a remote village in the heart of the Amazon. The most complex were the sprawling jungle port town of Porto Velho and boat La Quila, owned by Frank (Dwayne Johnson).

Skipper Frank uses the La Quila to give tours around the river, and it becomes a centerpiece of the film. Puzos pulled from real-life historical references,...

“With little pride and less hope, we begin the new year.” So starts Mona Fastvold’s mournful frontier romance “The World to Come,” on January 1st of 1856. (The film’s Sundance screening follows a premiere at last summer’s Venice Film Festival and precedes an imminent theatrical release.)
The words are written in the diary of young wife Abigail (Katherine Waterston), who reads them as an ongoing narration of her inner thoughts and torments. She and her husband, Dyer (co-producer Casey Affleck), have recently lost their little girl to diphtheria, and the space between them is miles wide. He has channeled all his emotions into their struggling farm, a hardscrabble plot in frigid upstate New York. She is pouring hers into the diary, when she’s not cooking, cleaning, milking cows and taking care of Dyer.

F.J. Ossang. Photo by Locarno Festival / Sailas VanettiA punk poet and musician, F.J. Ossang’s shorts and features produced since the early 1980s pull vividly from silent cinema, particularly German Expressionism, as well as American noir, to reinvent cinema's legacy for a new era. His latest movie, 9 Doigts (9 Fingers), which premiered in competition at the Locarno Festival and has now traveled to the International Film Festival Rotterdam, begins as a cryptic gangster film—shot in silken black and white 35mm—before the criminals make a break for a cargo ship, plunging the film in the kind of feverish maritime malaise found in Joseph Conrad’s The Shadow Line, Georges Franju’s 1973 TV adaptation of that novel, and pre-Code tropical hothouses like Safe in Hell (1931).But as beautiful as the setting and photography is—and as delirious as some of the cynical, doom-saying criminals are, each prone to mythopoetic threats...

Academy Award-winner Emma Thompson (Saving Mr. Banks, the Harry Potter series), and actors Daniel Brühl (Rush, Inglourious Basterds), and Mark Rylance (The Other Boelyn Girl) have been confirmed to star in Vincent Pérez’s Alone In Berlin.
Based on a true story, Hans Fallada’s powerful and redemptive novel, written shortly after the Second World War describes a city paralyzed by fear. Otto and Anna Quangel are an ordinary couple living in a shabby apartment block in Berlin trying, like everyone else, to stay out of trouble under Nazi rule. But when their only child is killed fighting at the front, their loss propels them into an extraordinary act of resistance. They start to drop anonymous postcards all over the city attacking Hitler and his regime. If caught, it means certain execution. Soon their campaign comes to the attention of the Gestapo inspector, Escherich, and a murderous game of cat-and-mouse begins.

Following in the footsteps of Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) and Bryan Singer (X-Men: Days of Futur Past), Dwayne Johnson has been tweeting out pics from the set of Hercules, and now we have two more.
The first is a glimpse of Johnson in costume as Herc with this caption:

The next is a shot of his helmet. It looks very 300ish, but it fits into the same era, so it’s appropriate.

Update: There's another twitpic to get your teeth into, courtesy of the D. Johnson Twitter feed, and this one is headwear-orientated. Here's the Hercules helmet, backlit spectacularly by a sun we're guessing his Rockness has winched into position specially.If you thought Dwayne Johnson would leave his phone at home while shooting Hercules with director Brett Ratner, you don’t know The Rock. Given that tweets about movies as they’re made are becoming a common part of the promotional effort, he was always going to be offering glimpses behind the scenes. So it is with his latest effort, which provides another look at his Herc style (but still only from the back) and a small chunk of the set.

Founded in 2007, Radical Studios is a multimedia company that incubated comic books for exploitation in other forms. Among their earliest releases was Hercules, boasting a Steranko cover, and it came with high production values and a bit of a buzz., The character returned for a second miniseries in and this interpretation captured Hollywood’s fancy. After years in development, production on the movie adaptation began today. Thew film enters a crowded summer 2014, especially for super-hero films, coming after Captain America: The Winter Solider and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and just before X-Men: Days of Future Past and Guardians of the Galaxy (raising the question whether or not four Marvel Universe films in five months will reach the saturation point).

Haven't heard of The Cross? Don't worry, we're going to change that right now. The Cross is the newest sci-fi film from Andrew Niccol, the director behind Gattaca, S1m0ne, and Lord of War. He hasn't directed anything since 2005 but is already back shooting this as we speak. The cast in this includes Orlando Bloom, Vincent Cassel, John Goodman, and Olga Kurylenko. Our friends at Quiet Earth got their hands on a small batch of concept art created by Jean-Vincent Puzos and it looks gorgeous, or rather it looks like he's getting back to his Gattaca roots, which is good news considering that's one of my all-time favorite sci-fi films. Click above to see more concept art. I don't exactly know what we're seeing, besides some landscapes and set pieces, but it looks great so far. In terms of the story, here's what The Cross is about: "Mylar (Bloom) and...

- At the beginning of every month, Ioncinema.com's "Tracking Shot" features six projects that are moments away from lensing and that we feel, are worth signaling out. This September is when Blacklist's 2008 top title goes into production - Jodie Foster helms The Beaver for Summit. Scribe Rowan Joffe begins his career as a director with Brighton Rock, - Joffe penned Pawel Pawlikowski's Last Resort. Not much news has been made since a Cannes announcement for Andrew Niccol's 4th film. We'll keep tabs on whether filming for The Cross does take place down under. The very rich Todd Phillips already has a due date of November for Due Date. Edward Zwick finally gets into the saddle for Love and Other Drugs, and we are still awaiting more news on Tommy Lee Jones, who should begin filming The Sunset Limited this month. Those that didn't make the list, but

The Australian-France-Germany co-production is being produced by Bluewater Pics in Sydney, Spangherabero Films in Paris, and Opal Film Produktion in Berlin, as per Variety.

- I guess before finding immersing himself into Dada movement and surrealist biopic turf of the Pacino-starring project titled Dali & I: The Surreal Story, helmer Andrew Niccol will go back to an area that he is suited for with a space odyssey about crossing a mysterious border (which nothing to do with North Korea). Currently being packaged at the Berlin's Film Market, The Cross would include the likes of Orlando Bloom, Vincent Cassel and Olga Kurylenko, Niccol is looking for an international cast of players who also happen to be popular in English speaking territories. Bloom plays the protag -- a man seeking to cross a border, something that no one else has achieved; while Cassel takes on the role of the antagonist. Currently in pre-production, the $24 million dollar project is scheduled to start principal photography in July in Australia and is co-production between Australia, France and – Germany. is being
