The Amazon rainforest is well-known as one of the world's remaining undiscovered frontiers. There are still areas of its dense rainforest that are inhabited by indigenous tribes who have little or no interaction with the modern world. Additionally, it is a very challenging habitat to exist in, with millions of square miles of thick foliage, rough topography, continual dampness, and an abundance of toxic or venomous species. Even for seasoned survivalists, traversing the Amazon is a significant undertaking. Jungle, a new film starring Daniel Radcliffe, is based on a real tale of four men who ventured into the Bolivian jungle, only to discover how tough it can be to live there. The soldiers were trapped in the forest for three weeks with very rudimentary supplies, and sadly, several of them perished.
âIt's about this man who went lost in the bush and lived for three weeks on his own,â Radcliffe told EW last year during the film's Australian filming. âIt's a litmus test for everyone: the staff, myself, and everyone else. It's a pretty intensive shoot, but it's also a lot of fun.â The United States trailer for has been made available online by Entertainment Weekly. Momentum Pictures will distribute the picture in the United States, where it will open in (select) cinemas and on VoD on October 20, 2017.
This is a genuine tale based on Yossi Ghinsberg's book of the same name. Radcliffe portrays Ghinsberg, who becomes lost from his guide and pals in the Amazon and must face off elemental perils in order to find his way home. It looks exhilarating, and although a release date has not been announced, anticipate the anticipation to ramp up after the film's August debut at the Melbourne International Film Festival. Greg McLean, the cult director responsible for Wolf Creek and, more recently, The Belko Experiment, directs. As such, it's reasonable to assume that this will be everything but a pleasant excursion.

The teaser for Jungle, directed by Greg McLean of The Belko Experiment and Wolf Creek, looks highly interesting, as the movie's 2 minute, 46 second clip gradually increases in intensity. Not only is Ginsberg disoriented, he is forced to adapt to the elements and fight off its hazardous residents - both animal and human - while his physical and mental health deteriorates.
