His latest wilderness survival thriller, Jungle, has just gotten a new trailer, which you can watch above.

“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.”
The film is based on the best-selling novel about Ghinsberg’s real-life adventures, which adds another level of terror to the film.
Thomas Kretschmann, Alex Russell, Joel Jackson, and Yasmin Kassim also star in the film.
