We already know it will pay tribute to Jumanji star Robin Williams, so it will connect to the original flick, but according to what Karen Gillan told IndieWire, there’s enough original content there to maintain anyone’s interest–even if you are traditionally the type of person who eschews reboots, remakes and revivals.
If you know anything about Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, you probably know the movie isn’t really trying to hit the same beats the original nineties flick did.
The movie is based on a video game and not a board game.
It features adult characters that are actually avatars played by a group of teens.
