Dwayne The Rock Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, and Nick Jonas, 22 years later, are bringing the upgraded version of Robin Willams game movie with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
The story has been turned on its head. Instead of animals leaving the boardgame, four teenagers are sucked into the world of a video game.
In the new 'Breakfast Club', these kids have to clean up the basement of the school as detention activity. There they find the video game that promises to be "A game for those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind."
When they get in Jumanji and are turned into the stars of the movie, the chaos start. There are massive animals, explosions, elaborate labyrinth Nick Jonas would love to be your tour guide for, and then there is iconic The Rock eyebrow fish-hook in the trailer.
We don't get the look at who the bad hunter guy will be. But there will be a connection to late Robin Williams' character Alan Parrish.
While promoting the movie at CinemaCon in Barcelona earlier last week, Jack Black said, "We're exploring this jungle and trying to conquer the game; it's life or death. But while we're there, we find clues left behind by (Williams' character Alan Parrish). He built up a full-blown jungle house, similar to a Swiss Family Robinson situation. It's like he's there helping us without actually being there."
Directed by Jake Kasdan, the man behind comedies like New Girl and Bad Teacher, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is set to release on December 22, 2017.
