Following the crazy success of the first Jumanji film, which was made in 1995 and received an overwhelmingly positive response, a second Jumanji film was made.
Filmgoers – especially lovers of the first Jumanji film – loved the new one so much and they took to social media to gush about it.
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle starred Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Jacob Black and Nick Jonas.
The movie was a visual delight with punchy comedic lines and stunning visuals that made the movie a wonderful experience.
Following the success of Jumanji: Welcome to the jungle, the filmmakers wasted no time in announcing a sequel.
The news came almost two years after the previous film was released, and was a welcome development.
Production started almost immediately in February 2019, with Dwayne Johnson sharing snippets from filming, which kept fans on the edge of their seats as they awaited the film’s release.
Further proof that the cast had a great time on set came when Kevin Hart threw Dwayne Johnson a party on set. Such cast chemistry usually translates to the movie and makes for great viewing experience, amirite?
Production was finally wrapped up in May 2019, and fans were left waiting with only a release date to look forward to.
Well, the film is almost here and the waiting time is almost over!
The premise of Jumanji: The next level reads, according to Wikipedia:
Unknown to his friends, Spencer kept the pieces of the Jumanji video game and one day repaired the system in the basement of his mother’s house. When Spencer’s friends Bethany, Fridge, and Martha arrive, they find Spencer missing and the game running and decide to re-enter Jumanji to save him.
Spencer’s grandfather Eddie and his friend Milo Walker inadvertently get sucked into the game too before any of Spencer’s friends can select their avatars. With a new quest offered to them by Nigel Billingsley who claims that one of them will not make it out of this adventure alive, the teenaged friends must help Eddie and Milo get used to their in-game avatars, get them to help find Spencer, and escape Jumanji again, once and for all.
The film stars Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, Alex Wolff, Morgan Turner, Ser’Darius Blain, and Madison Iseman, reprising their roles from the previous film, alongside newcomers Awkwafina, Danny Glover, and Danny DeVito.
The film was directed by Jake Kasdan and is set for release on 13 December 2019.
