My dad was the 4th grade teacher at my school and for many years he did a reading lesson on the book Jumanji. I remember sitting in his classroom listening to the story and then later in life seeing the original Jumanji movie. My whole family loved this story and movie and now, we are going to get to watch a new Jumanji movie!
Check out the new official trailer – looks like so much fun!!
Cast:
Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, Bobby Cannavale
Synopsis:
In the brand new adventure Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, the tables are turned as four teenagers in detention are sucked into the world of Jumanji. When they discover an old video game console with a game they’ve never heard of, they are immediately thrust into the game’s jungle setting, into the bodies of their avatars, played by Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, and Karen Gillan. What they discover is that you don’t just play Jumanji – Jumanji plays you. They’ll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, or they’ll be stuck in the game forever…
Is this a movie you will be adding to your holiday plans?
I just saw this trailer last night and I cannot wait to see this movie. I friggin' adored the first one. It's too bad Robin Williams couldn't make an appearance in this movie, I really think that would hae MADE IT for sure – but regardless, I definitely see a lot of people (if not EVERYONE ha) lining up for this one!
I loved the first one. Can't wait to see this with my boys!
Jumanji was a great film, can't wait for the second.
I loved the first Jumanji movie with Robin Williams. This new Jumanji with a twist looks awesome! Kevin Hart and Duwayne Johnson had great chemistry in the movie Central Intelligence, and I feel this movie will be no different! Commenting for Ladonna Dennis Maxwell @momblogsociety.com
We saw the first one and thought is was great. I can't wait to see this one!
That is so sweet, I love that you have a personal connection with the movie! I am excited to watch the new release because I love 3 of the actors casted to play in Jumanji. Although it'll be a shot differently, I am a little disappointed that they continue to remake old classics. I think it was great when Robin Williams stared in the first one.
Oh My Goodness! This is such awesome news! I loved the original Jumanji! It was such a great movie! This looks like an cool line up! Thanks for sharing!
I'm not sure they can out do the original Jumanji movie. I do think it will be a hit with stars they are casting. I can't decide whose appearance excites me more: Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black or Kevin Hart.
This looks so fun! I loved the first Jumanji and I had know idea that they were making another. I'm sure my kids will want to see it.
My daughter's class was just reading this in school. I loved the first movie with Robin Williams. Looks like this updated version will appeal to the teens.
What an amazing cast in this movie? We have read the book and the kids loved it! I can not wait to see this one! I can not help but to be sad that Robin Williams will not be here to be a part of this.
I love the first Jumanji movie. I am excited to see this new one.
I cant wait to see this. I loved the original and hope this lives up to it.
I enjoyed the original movie and I really like the ensemble cast of this (esp Dwayne Johnson) just not sure about jumanji, if they change up the story it could be good.
There is a movie coming out around my birthday AND it has the Rock in it?! I'm so in! The trailer makes it look intriguing with quite a few plot twists. Adding this to my list for sure – I might even take the older kids too 🙂
How awesomely cool is this? I have to admit this movie kept me on the edge of my seat for most of it. Now I actually want to go back and watch it again
Oh this looks like a good movie! Great timing coming out at Christmas so we can go see it too.
