“This is gonna be fun.. Me, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Nick Jonas and the Ginger Assassin, karen Gillan can’t wait to “play the game that plays you”. JUMANJI Costume Designer Laura Jean Shannon”, reads the caption on his Instagram.
Jumanji is based on Chris Van Allsburg’s 1985 children’s book in which a magical board game causes jungle plants and creatures to invade a quiet American suburb. The 1995 original film was directed by Joe Johnston and starred the late Robin Williams, Bonnie Hunt, Kirsten Dunst, Bradley Pierce, Jonathan Hyde, Bebe Neuwirth, David Alan Grier and Patricia Clarkson.
The film is not a reboot but instead is a sequel to the 1995 film that starred Robin Williams as a man who found himself trapped in the titular game as a boy, and is ‘let out’ when a pair of kids decide to roll the dice in present day.
Directed by Jake Kasdan. Dwayne Johnson is joined by Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Nick Jonas and Karen Gillan.
Production will be handled by Matt Tolmach, Ted Field & Bill Teitler. Van Allsburg and Mike Weber are set to serve as executive producers.
Jumanji sequel is currently scheduled for July 28, 2017 release.
