The Chris Van Allsburg Cinematic Universe

io9:
Dwayne Johnson Says Jumanji is Not a Reboot

The key word here is “continuation,” which likely means it won’t be a direct sequel. It’s probably going to be a broader part of the Jumanji cinematic universe, acknowledging the events of the past while also being its own story. Sort of like how Jurassic World is technically part of the Jurassic Park franchise but also totally not.

Jumanji Wiki:

Jumanji is a 1995 American adventure fantasy film directed by Joe Johnston. It is an adaptation of the 1981 children's book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg.

In 2005, a spiritual sequel to Jumanji titled Zathura was released; it was also adapted from a Van Allsburg book.

So its a sequel.... Why do they need to over explain an idea that has been around for so long?

Am I just getting older where the younger generation that has grown up on all these reboots and sequels needs to be reminded as to what a sequel is?

This rant isn't directed at anyone in particular, Its just an observation.

Either way I am excited to see the concept of the Jumanji board game back on the big screen.

After watching Stranger Things I hope that is has some influence on Hollywood and teaches them that you can still have a scary a thrilling but fun and relatable kids film.

Also, how is JW "technically apart of the JP franchise, but also totally not"? It's a sequel.

Because publications are stupid about labeling things sequels, reboot, etc. IT doesnt matter much. Bad is bad, good is good, successful is successful, etc.

For instance Ive seen many publications mislabel things like Tron Legacy, Vacation, Jurassic that are sequels as reboots.

The Rock just said, "Jumanji cinematic universe..."

The world is just a strange place.

 

[Kyle]

Always knew it was going to be a sequel, the first film promised once since the 90s. Excited since waiting for it since I was a kid. Scared because my hype level has been building since I was a kid, lol.

Reboot sequel reimagining alternate universe version.

Requelimagiboot shared universe.

I didn't know Jack Black was in this. This could be pretty good, if the Rock and Kevin Hart's last collaboration is any indication.

In terms of cinematic universes, I just remembered Jon Favreau's Zathura. The book is also by Chris Van Allsburg and a sequel to Jumanji. I loved watching the film, and so I feel like these type of board game adventures will always be something that captures the imagination of young children (if that's there demographic, it could be more PG-13) The film adaptation of Zathura however is more of a spiritual sequel, but if they ever wanted to tie Jumanji/Zathura together in a new film, I guess the door would be open.

EDIT: Just saw that someone already wrote about Zathura.

Hell, get Josh Hutcherson and Kristen Stewart back and Favreau directing and that's probably a hit on your hands.

The Rock just clarified on Twitter that this is a sequel, NOT a reboot / remake.

 

[Drizzle]

I feel like the danger element is gone with The Rock there. You're gonna tell me that a bunch of wild animals are more dangerous than this dude?

 

[terry78]

He might be playing against type.

Actually, they just decided to replace the wild animals with him, they figured he'd be more intimidating.
