Jumanji Cast

 who would actually want to play Jumanji?" Who would pursue a round of a board game that asks you to roll dice, move pieces, and then fend off lions, rhinos, torrential water and more natural terrors that spring from its magical center? Well, in our modern wired world where everything is archived and recorded, there's something to be said about the pure lo-fi chaos Jumanji has to offer. Furthermore, it's like a trip to the jungle, the mountains, and the ocean all in one -- and you don't even have to leave the house. Of course, whether you even still have a house standing after the game finishes is another story.

The great thing about Sony wanting to reboot Jumanji is that they can get the same actors involved. Robin Williams and Bonnie Hunt still have the chops, and Kirsten Dunst is definitely still available, pigtails optional. Bradley Pierce is the wildcard, as he’s only done some scattered voice work in the past few years, but they could even get Joe Johnston to direct again. Isn’t that funny? They’re trying to reboot a movie where all the players, for the most part, are still in the acting and directing spotlight. Of course, a version from Michael Haneke would be cooler. Regardless, Sony is now firmly in the rebooting business. Men In Black is seeking even more installments, there’s Total Recall, Spider-Man is going to be exhausted by the time they get all their worth out of him, and now they’re even digging into the minor 90s hits to figure out what to do.
