Jack Black Is Unfortunately in Talks to Join the JUMANJI Reboot
After Dwyane Johnson posted those comments regarding his Jumanji remake and how they wanted to honor Robin Williams in the process of making this film, I kind of opened up to the idea. Then news hit that Jack Black was in talks to join the film project, and now I have closed back up.
I’m not the biggest Jack Black fan. It’s been a long time since he’s been in a film that I’ve really enjoyed. The guy is just a turn off to me when it comes to films. If he’s cast, though, he will star alongside Johnson and Kevin Hart, who will take on unknown roles in the story.
Johnson previously revealed that there would be five main characters in their story. There are no details on what the film will be about, but I imagine it will involve these characters finding and playing the mystical game which unleashes hell and thrusts them into a crazy adventure.
With the cast that is being gathered together for this film, it makes me think that this is going to be a comedic adventure. The movie is being directed by Jake Kasdan (Bad Teacher, Sex Tape), and we’ll just have to wait and see what exactly they are planning.
