According to The Hollywood Reporter, the footage showed four teens in detention who are ordered to clean out the high school basement, where they find an old video game console and the game that transports them to the jungle — and into the bodies of their avatars, played by Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan.

“The walls between our reality and entertainment are becoming virtually transparent or invisible. The whole idea behind this movie is that you literally inhabit a game,” said producer Matt Tolmach, according to Deadline. “We all think of games as something you play, and then it’s time for dinner, or you need to go to work or do your homework, and you walk away from the game. But if you’re actually in a game, those rules are very different and the stakes of that game become very real.”

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is due in theaters on Dec. 22.

I hope they spend half of the movie complaining about framerate and shadow quality to be more realistic :D

I wont watch this...

1) Im too old.
2) they wreck these movies of classics, they re-do too often. (this seems like that)

Again, the rock will be the only good thing in a terrible movie

Going into the video game was a good idea. But, that could of been done, with the board game. There was no reason to change that.

actually Jumanji without Robin Williams is not Jumanji :/

Seems like a needless change... and those usually just end up makeing things worse.

Thats typically what ruins classic remakes.

Sounds good. I really enjoyed the last one. I'm willing to give anyone a chance but keeping my expectations low.

This is the only comment I needed to read :)

They tried with Zathura, it flopped. 58 million box office, 65 million budget. (Jumanji made 262 million box office)
Will using the same name work better...
