The first trailer has debuted for director Greg McLean’s (Wolf Creek) upcoming survival thriller Jungle. The film is based on Yossi Ghinsberg’s novel Jungle: A Harrowing True Story of Survival, which tells the true story of the three weeks that Ghinsberg spent stranded in the Bolivian Amazon jungle and stars Daniel Radcliffe as adventurer and author alongside Alex Russell, Joel Jackson, and Thomas Kretschmann; watch it below…
“In the early 1980s, 22-year-old Israeli backpacker Yossi Ghinsberg and two friends – Swiss teacher Marcus Stamm and American photographer Kevin Gale – set off from the Bolivian city of La Paz on what was supposed to be the adventure of a lifetime. Leading the way into the uncharted Amazon was an Austrian expat named Karl Ruprechter, who had met the friends just days before and claimed to be familiar with the region. But their dream trip soon turned into a wilderness nightmare from which not all of the men returned.”
Jungle is set to receive its world premiere at the Melbourne Film Festival on August 3rd.
