Vidyut's Junglee to hit screens on 19th October 2018!

Action star Vidyut Jammwal, who made his acting debut with the successful film Commando, has always impressed the audience with his great looks, excellent dance movies and martial art skills.

The actor, who was last seen in Milan Luthria's multi-starrer Baadshaho, is gearing up to start his next film, Junglee.


The project was in talks for a long time now, but now the makers are all set to take it to the floor and commence shooting. Reportedly, the film is going to be really big as there will be some high octane action sequences to keep the audience glued to their screens.

The film is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on Diwali next year. The makers of the film took to Twitter to announce the film and its release date.

They wrote, "A perfect Dussehra treat with @JungleePictures next action-adventure thriller #Junglee starring @VidyutJammwal directed by #ChuckRussel, The film set to release 19th October 2018."

To be produced by Junglee Pictures, Junglee will be helmed by Chuck Russel.

How Lee Cronin’s 'The Mummy' turns a classic adventure into a domestic horror

Highlights

  • Moves away from the adventure tone of The Mummy (1999) into possession-led horror
  • Shifts the setting from desert tombs to a family home in Albuquerque
  • Focuses on parental fear and a “returned” child rather than treasure hunting
  • Relies on body horror, sound design and shock value over spectacle
  • Critics call it bold and unsettling, but uneven in storytelling

From desert spectacle to domestic dread

For decades, The Mummy has been tied to adventure, romance and spectacle, most famously in The Mummy (1999). That version thrived on sweeping desert landscapes, archaeological intrigue and a sense of escapism.

Lee Cronin takes a sharply different route. His reworking strips away the sense of adventure and relocates the horror into the home. The story still begins in Egypt, anchored by an ancient sarcophagus, but quickly shifts to the United States, where the real tension unfolds inside a family house.
