Your thoughts on this movie.....

Four teenagers are sucked into a magical video game, and the only way they can escape is to work together to finish the game.

Another “Jumanji” Targets Christmas 2019

It may not have much in the way of buzz, but Sony’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” has proven a surprise massive hit – quietly and consistently racking up earnings in the past month to the point it has become a box-office monster.

The Dwayne Johnson-led film, which has topped the box-office the past three weeks, currently stands at $769 million worldwide – more than $300 million of that being domestically where it has surpassed “Skyfall” to become Sony’s highest grossing non-“Spider-Man” film to date.

Combined with being shot for a reasonably economical $90 million, it comes as no surprise that Sony head Tom Rothman is aiming to have the follow-up in cinemas for Christmas 2019 according to a new report in The Wall Street Journal.

While there’s no official announcement just yet, the film would open opposite “Star Wars: Episode IX” on December 20th – not unlike last year where ‘Jungle’ opened days after ‘Last Jedi’ and both have managed to be major hits.







Sony Pictures has set Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner to pen a “Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle” sequel that will reunite Dwayne Johnson with Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan and the rest.

The pair were the final set of writers on current box-office champ “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” and have also penned the upcoming “Venom” film with Tom Hardy.

Plot specifics are under wraps. Matt Tolmach, Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia will produce.

To celebrate the news that “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” has become the biggest domestic box-office grossing release ever by Sony Pictures, the film’s star Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson took to Instagram and confirmed developmental is well-underway on a third one.

He also teased that his co-star Kevin Hart’s character Franklin ‘Mouse’ Finbar will be killed off for good. The first film recently passed the $400 million domestic mark and is nearing $1 billion worldwide.

Danny DeVito has been added to the cast of the upcoming “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” follow-up at Sony Pictures. DeVito’s casting comes in the wake of Awkwafina (“Crazy Rich Asians”) joining the cast yesterday.

In a statement, the film’s main star Dwayne Johnson says: “The magic of Jumanji is who becomes who. And the idea of Danny DeVito joining our cast was too irresistible and something we knew we wanted to deliver to our audience this upcoming Christmas. Dwanta Claus loves everyone.”

This new third “Jumanji” film is set for a December 13th 2019 release and will see the return of the main cast that includes Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, and Jack Black along with director Jake Kasdan.

Following great critical and commercial success for 2017’s “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” the key core players and team behind that film return for a follow-up to the previous film which reimagined the board game macguffin of the 1995 movie into a video game. Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Nick Jonas are all returning and are joined this time by Danny DeVito and Awkwafina, though specifics of the plot are being kept tight-lipped so it’s not clear how they will come back into play.

Danny Glover has joined the cast of the “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” follow-up at Sony Pictures, though details of his role are under wraps. Glover will star opposite Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Nick Jonas and Karen Gillan, all of whom are set to return.

Awkwafina is in final negotiations for a significant part in the film while Jake Kasdan returns to direct from a screenplay he co-wrote with Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is more entertaining a film than it has any right to be. It really is a pretty clever story, and the characters are quite enjoyable. I can't wait to see what they do with this next film.
