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…]

Nick Jonas May Join Dwayne Johnson In Jumanji Reboot

July 28, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

nick-jonas-shirtlessThe planned reboot of Jumanji is fast coming together, with Dwayne Johnson set to star and Kevin Hart and Jack Black recently said to be in talks to join him. Now someone else may be joining them, with THR reporting that Nick Jonas is in negotiations for the movie.

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. How Jonas fits into that hasn’t been revealed, although we wouldn’t be shocked if he’s playing Johnson’s son.

Jor many, Nick is still best known as one of the Jonas Brothers, but more recently he’s being proving himself as an actor. He stars in the show Kingdom and has been getting great notices in the upcoming fraternity hazing drama Goat. However Jumanji would be one of his highest profile roles so far.

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.

Sex Tape Red Band Trailer – Cameron Diaz & Jason Segel don’t want their naughtiness escaping

April 1, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Later this year we’re all going to get to see Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel’s Sex Tape, but first we can get a taster with the first trailer.

Here’s the movie’s synopsis (and as you’ve already guessed, it’s not just a real sex tape featuring the two stars): ‘When Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) first got together, their romantic connection was intense – but ten years and two kids later, the flame of their love needs a spark. To kick things up a notch, they decide – why not? – to make a video of themselves trying out every position in The Joy of Sex in one marathon three-hour session.

‘It seems like a great idea – until they discover that their most private video is no longer private. With their reputations on the line, they know they’re just one click away from being laid bare to the world… but as their race to reclaim their video leads to a night they’ll never forget, they’ll find that their video will expose even more than they bargained for.’

Sex Tape is going to be in cinemas September 5th. [Read more…]
