Feature trailer for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, starring Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan and Nick Jonas.
Four teenagers discover an old video game console and are literally drawn into the game's jungle setting becoming the adult avatars they choose.
The reboot began to receive some flack after Robin Williams suicide. The production immediately announced that the film would definitely honor the actor's memory.
As a strange coincidence, Dwayne Johnson's breakout film, The Rundown, was originally titled Welcome to the Jungle.
Being a big fan of the first trailer strictly for the song choice and how much fun this Jumanji installment was pushing, I had somewhat high expectations for this second go. The first thing we notice is that the game has magically converted itself from a board game to a video game. Not sure how they're going to explain that, but I digress.
Second, the first trailer suggested that every player was literally dropped into the Jumanji world. We are now shown the characters being digitally transported in, save for Dr Smolder Bravestone, of course, who still gets dropped in. So, another question: Why is his character the only one dropped in?
The trailer then jumps into high gear, giving a better introduction to both Nigel, played by the lovable Rhys Darby, and Nick Jonas's Indiana-like character. Queue action, some special effects, and then, of course, "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns & Roses.
In the end -- Definitely looking forward to this.
