Emily Blunt: Jungle Cruise is inspired by Romancing the Stone

The 38-year-old British actress stars as eccentric scientist Dr. Lily Houghton in Disney’s new adventure film which is inspired by the ride of the same name at Disney World theme parks across the globe.

Emily’s alter ego relies on Dwayne Johnson’s character, steamboat captain Frank Wolff, to guide her on her quest to find the Tree of Life and she says the quest and chemistry between the two characters has lots of similarities with Robert Zemeckis’ 1984 blockbuster which saw Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner on a quest to find a lost treasure in Colombia.
