THR is reporting Dwayne Johnson is teaming up with Disney to translate a theme park ride to the big-screen. Johnson is attached to star in Jungle Cruise , based on the classic ride, while John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, the duo behind the Will Smith heist movie Focus, have been tapped to write the script. The duo, who have directed movies such as Focus and Stupid Crazy Love , are not attached to helm at this stage. John Davis and John Fox of Davis Entertainment, the banner behind Man From U.N.C.L.E, are producing.

The caper drama Focus has a lot going for it, but gets its pockets picked in a few key areas. Review by Matt Cummings It doesn't happen too often that an actor can get completely knocked down by one role, but for Will Smith that was After Earth . It was not only one of the worst films of 2013, but an embarrassing trainwreck that saw Smith lose nearly all of his credibility and charm. It's taken awhile to get that back, an Focus helps a lot, even though it suffers in a couple of key areas. When a one-night stand between Nicky Spurgeon (Smith) and Jess (Margo Robbie) leads to trouble with Jess' husband, it looks like Nicky will have to pay big time to make the problem go away. What Jess doesn't know is that Nicky is a smooth operator and con himself, swindling money left and right including her rings, wallet, and sunglasses from her before she even realizes it.
