Kevin Bacon (Friday the 13th, Tremors, “The Following”) will re-team with Wolf Creek director Greg McLean to make survival drama, Jungle, based on the true story of adventurer Yossi Ghinsberg, who was lost for three weeks alone in the Amazon rainforest in Bolivia in 1981, says THR.
Arclight Films is producing Jungle, after See-Saw Films and the Spierig brothers (Undead, Daybreak’s) didn’t take the film past its early development. Screenwriter Justin Monjo, (“INXS: Never Tear Us Apart”), has written the script, with Gary Hamilton, Dana Lustig, Mike Gabrawy and Mark Lazarus producing. A
Jungle is the second project for Bacon and McLean who made Blumhouse supernatural thriller 6 Miranda Drive, in April.
