Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (Blu-ray Review) – A game (and gender-swap) like no other

April 30, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Nick Jonas
Director: Jake Kasdan
Running Time: 119 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: April 30th 2018 (UK)

Every so often a film comes along that beats all expectations at the box office. Film commentators then race to come up with reasons for its runaway success. They tried to do that for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, but generally came up short. After all this is a film that initially people thought would be lucky to clear $200-$300 million worldwide at the box office, but which ended up with $900 million+ and is now the highest grossing film Sony Pictures has ever made.

Is it down to the box office power of The Rock? Was it because there wasn’t much family film competition at the time it was release? Did box office watchers underestimate the love people had for the 1995 Robin Williams Jumanji movie, especially as many of those that grew up with that film now have kids of their own? [Read more…]

New Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle Trailer – Dwayne Johnson is a teen boy & Jack Black gets gender-swapped

September 20, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In the last few months there’s been a lot of talk about how Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle will respect the original and follow the spirit of the Robin Williams movie and his character. However, the trailers have suggested we’ll be dealing with a very different kind of film.

This time around a bunch of teens get morphed into a Jumanji videogame, which involves a nerdy teen boy becoming Dwayne Johnson, and a hot girl suddenly finding herself as Jack Black. And as the new trailer shows, the girl inside Jack has the hots for Johnson.

Here’s the 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…’

The movie is due out in December. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

First Pic From Jumanji Reboot Arrives With Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black & Karen Gillan

September 20, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jumanji-remake-pic1While some still aren’t sure whether Jumanji needs a reboot, it’s getting one and it’s now is production. Kevin Hart has posted the first image from the movie, which features the comedian alongside co-stars Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black & Karen Gillan.

It’s not known exactly how this reboot will handle the story, but it will still be based around the basic concept of a board game where what happens in the game also happens in real life, which causes havoc when the jungle starts to erupt into reality. Those involved have been keen to say that the movie will be respectful to the Robin Williams film, and that it is likely to take place in the same universe, rather than being a complete restart.

The new picture suggests the film may spend much of its time in the Jumanji jungle world, with the characters getting stuck inside the game and needing to get out. It’ll be in cinemas next year.

Jack Black In Talks To Join Kevin Hart & Dwayne Johnson In The Jumanji Reboot

May 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

jack-blackA few weeks ago it was revealed that Kevin Hart & Dwayne Johnson were in talks to start in the planned reboot of Jumanji. Now it turns out Hart isn’t the only funnyman in the mix, as TheWrap reports that Jack Black is up to play the third of the film’s five main roles.

It’s not known exactly how this reboot will handle the story, but it will still be based around the basic concept of a board game where what happens in the game also happens in real life, which causes havoc when the jungle starts to erupt into reality. However, with Johnson, Hart and Black, it may be a little more grown-up in tone than the 1995 movie.

Johnson has also been keen to point out that they intend to be respectful towards the earlier film and honour the memory of the original. Some have taken his comments to suggest this will be more sequel than complete reboot, but that’s currently unconfirmed. Jake Kasdan will direct.

Kevin Hart & Dwayne Johnson May Enter The Jumanji Remake

April 18, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

central-intelligence-slideFor a couple of years now Sony has been developing a reimagining of Jumanji, and there’s even been talk of trying to turn it into a giant interconnected franchise. Now it looks like they’re ready to move forward with the first part of their plan, as Variety reports that Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson are being sought by the studio for the lead roles.

It certainly doesn’t seem like it’s a done deal yet though, as both men are very busy and with Sony eyeing an autumn shoot, they will have to work out whether they can fit the movie in. There’s still not a huge amount of info on what direction this new Jumanji movie will take the movie, but with Johnson and Hart involved, it sounds like Jake Kasdan’s take will be a more broadly comic adventure. Presumably though it will still be based around the basic concept of a board game where what happens in the game also happens in real life, which causes havoc when the jungle starts to erupt into reality.

It also suggests that Sony must think Hart and Johnson make a great team, and that their work on this year’s Central Intelligence is good enough that it’s worth re-teaming them as soon as possible. However, they will have to work out the scheduling if it’s going to happen.

Bryan Cranston & Kevin Hart In Talks For Untouchable Remake

April 3, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

bryan-cranston2011’s Untouchable (aka Intouchables) is one of the most successful non-English language movies ever made, grossing over $400 million around the world. However it made little impact in the US, other than to get Hollywood interested in a remake.

That said, it’s taken them a long time to start properly moving forward on it, but now they’re casting the film, with Variety reporting that Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart are in talks for the lead roles. Simon Curtis (My Week With Marilyn) is attached to direct.

The original movie followed a man who becomes a quadriplegic in a terrible accident and need to find a carer. He ends up hiring a poor, African immigrant with no experience, but who looks at him with no pity. Despite difficulties, they develop a strong bond that changes both of their lives.

The remake is expected to shoot this summer, and with a script by Paul Feig and Hart onboard, it’s likely to have a more overtly comic tone that the original.

New Central Intelligence Trailer – Dwayne Johnson’s CIA Agent teams up with Kevin Hart

March 16, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

central-intelligence-slideSynopsis: ‘Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart star in the action comedy Central Intelligence, for New Line Cinema and Universal Pictures.

‘The story follows a one-time bullied geek who grew up to be a lethal CIA agent (Johnson), coming home for his high-school reunion.  Claiming to be on a top-secret case, he enlists the help of the former “big man on campus” (Hart), now an accountant who misses his glory days.   But before the staid numbers-cruncher realizes what he’s getting into, it’s too late to get out, as his increasingly unpredictable new friend drags him through a world of shoot-outs, double-crosses and espionage that could get them both killed in more ways than he can count.

‘Central Intelligence also stars Oscar® nominee Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone), Aaron Paul (TV’s Breaking Bad) and Danielle Nicolet (TV’s The Game).  The film is directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (We’re the Millers, Dodgeball).  The screenplay is by Ike Barinholtz & David Stassen and Rawson Marshall Thurber, from a story by Ike Barinholtz & David Stassen.  It is produced by Scott Stuber (Ted), Peter Principato (TV’s Black-ish), Paul Young (Black-ish) and Michael Fottrell (Furious Seven).  Serving as executive producers are Ed Helms, who worked with Thurber on We’re the Millers, Samuel J. Brown and Michael Disco.’

It’ll be in UK cinemas in July. [Read more…]
