It was really a movie that I really felt connected to. I think now you can ask me about the movies from five years ago, and I’ll tell you from a perspective.ĭEADLINE: So I can finally ask you about Shallows now, but Jungle Cruise I still can’t ask you about?ĬOLLET-SERRA: I think Jungle Cruise is a movie that is really dear to my heart. I think in three years I will be able to tell you how I feel about it. So it’s a long answer to your question, but it’s basically been a long, long journey. I think that that’s what people will see in the movie, which I think is one of the things that stand out is that some of the action sequences work is because in a way we had a lot more time to prep and all these incredibly talented people really adapted to the new reality, and we were able to do things differently. We had a year to basically prep and play and edit and figure out these incredibly complicated action sequences.

We all discovered Zoom and we all discovered how to collaborate, and then instead of storyboards we just went into previous animation. We immediately pivoted to virtual art department and virtual reality goggles where we were designing virtually. Then the world shuts down, and we all have to go home. Where we were prepping the movie like a normal movie - storyboards, shot list, location scouts and things like that.

That plus the pandemic, which a lot of people obviously saw as an obstacle and is an obstacle for many reasons obviously, but it gave us a lot of time to prep, right? I think that really shows sort of the resilience for me of my crew and the industry. But the confidence that I gained in doing Jungle Cruise and because it’s back to back and I almost kind of transitioned with the same crew, I was able to push the limit. Not by my design but also by the fact that I had to create a whole world, that each character has its powers, and there’s not a way to do it. It feels like Black Adam is like a continuation, where it just became a visual effects movie. If you see Jungle Cruise, there was a lot of practical sets in the first half of the movie and then it kind of delves more into visual effects towards the end. And in prepping Black Adam, I just grew more ambitious. I was able to have a team of professionals and technicians that were just beyond this world that kind of showed me what the possibilities were. But in Jungle Cruise I was able to play in a bigger sandbox. I think my whole career prior to the Jungle Cruise shoot prepared me for that film. It’s almost like one cannot separate from the other in the way Jungle Cruise prepared me for Black Adam. In the same period, I’ve had two kids and did intense, over-complicated movies that are completely different from anything that I have done before. It just feels like it’s like a five-year journey for me and they’re very connected personally.ĭwayne Johnson as Black Adam, 2022/Everett Collection Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection So it’s almost like for me it’s hard to differentiate the experience from one movie to the next. Then that gave us time to prep Black Adam in between. It’s been five years for both of them and we had the pandemic in between, and that kind of pushed Jungle Cruise a year in the schedule. You know, these productions have kind of overlapped - Jungle Cruise and Black Adam - a little bit. JAUME COLLET-SERRA: I think the anxiety never goes away. Are you relieved, or are you still a little anxious until audiences get to see this film? He also touches on how his days of directing R-rated movies might be behind him.ĭEADLINE: I guess my first question is, it’s been three-plus years, and you’re finally here. The director jumped on the phone with Deadline to talk about this three-year journey while also talking about his next thriller Carry Onand why he chose it as his next. Dwayne Johnson Set To Reprise Hobbs Role In New Untitled 'Fast & Furious' Film From UniversalĮven with the pressure of delivering the goods on one of the most anticipated movies of 2022, Collet-Serra tells Deadline that his time on Jungle Cruise helped him prepare for this shoot and make him believe he was capable of taking on a film of this scope and made the decision to take the job easier when the offer was presented.
