"Jumanji" Remake is Moving ForwardPosted: December 7th, 2012 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
Back in July, Columbia Pictures head Doug Belgrad revealed that the studio was remaking "Jumanji," with plans of updating it for the present. Now comes word that Zach Helm (Stranger Than Fiction, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium) has been hired the new film.
The movie will be both a comedy and family adventure. The story focuses on two kids who discover a supernatural board game and release a man who has been trapped in there for decades. They also unleash jungle forces and must team up with the man to stop the game's powerful magic.
"Jumanji" is an adaptation for a book by Chris Van Allsburg, which was published in 1981 and turned into a film in 1995. That film was directed by Joe Johnson and starred Robin Williams and Kirsten Dunst.

The original had some nine visual effects for its time and still holds up well.

So now we're remaking mediocre sh*t from 1995?
Hey, hows about a remake of Casper or Waterworld or Judge Dre–oh, right ...or Species or Money Train or Hackers or f*cking Congo!
This is right up there with rereleasing Independence Day in 3D: who gives a sh*t?!
Actually, I would probably go and see a remake of Congo

Congo could benefit from a decent remake. So long as they stick with Tim Curry.

Please don't talk about movies called Twister. I just think of Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt... right before I call a suicide hotline.

Reboot Zathura. It sucked. And the visuals from Jumanji were okay, but you could easily see they were composited in, which broke the illusion.

i might be alone in this opinion, but van allsburg is one of those author/illustrators whose work should stay in books. so far they've done what... 3? adaptations (Polar Express, Jumanji, Zathura) and none of them really nail the aesthetic. I think they should leave well enough alone and walk away.
