Jumanji sequel: All you need to know about the Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart film

There’s a new Jumanji film on the way.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has unveiled the first official photo from filming on the upcoming Jumanji sequel, showcasing Johnson and his costars in costume on set.

The photo, posted by Johnson on Instagram, showcases main characters Moose Finbar (Kevin Hart), Dr. Smolder Bravestone (Johnson), Ruby Roundhouse (Karen Gillan), and Professor Shelly Oberon (Jack Black).

The 1995 film starred  Robin Williams was centered around a mystical board game that transported players to a magical realm.

This is what we know about the film so far:

The Rock had taken to Instagram to suggest that the upcoming film is not a reboot of the original film; rather a continuation of the original Jumanji story.

He also put up another Instagram post that suggested that the film will honor Robin Williams and his character his character Alan Parrish “will stand alone and be forever immortalized in the world of Jumanji.”

Johnson also recounted the tale of when he first met Robin Williams. ‘I also think Robin is somewhere lookin’ down and laughing, remembering the first time we met backstage and I (for the first time ever) was a star struck bumbling idiot that couldn’t even get my words out.’

Johnson also released a first look photo of the upcoming film, which is to be directed by  Jake Kasdan  (who directed Bad Teacher). The photo caused quite a storm on Twitter because of actress Karen Gillan (lack of) attire in the photo.

Twitter took a potshot at the lack of clothes that the lead actress is wearing, with tweets like:

Johnson did do his part, because he left a comment beneath his Instagram post anticipating the internet’s outrage:‘Her jungle wardrobe will make sense when you know the plot. Trust me.’

He also released this one video from the behind the scenes filming process yesterday:

Another film that was inspired by Jumanji was the 2005 Zathura, which did not do very well at the box-office . The film was based on a book by Jumanji author Chris Van Allsburg and was sold as ‘A new adventure from the world of Jumanji’.

Johnson’s Jumanji sequel is set to release on 28 July , 2017.
