Making a bad reboot of a nostalgia movie is one thing.

Making a bad reboot of a beloved Robin Williams movie when he hasn’t even been gone 2.5 years is pure blasphemy and something that should involve finding a priest to confess your sins to.

Wtf? then whats the bloody point if ya don’t have the game??? how can you screw it up that bad. That is the literal premise, magical board game comes to life when you play it and it’s jungle themed. This feels like one of those stupid Hollywood pitches of “that sounds nice but can it not have___ (blank being integral to the plot)

“Hey, let’s remake Highlander but Connor isn’t immortal anymore and uses a gun instead of sword! He’s also from The Bronx instead of Scottish.”

*cough* http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117509/ Not Highlander, but immediately what I thought of when I read that, scalie. I remember having to watch this movie in high school.

I actually that movie for it’s weirdness.

There’s also a post somewhere discussing how it’s actually the most accurate adaption as far as dialog and stage direction despite the weird aesthetic and update to a modern setting.

So the reboot of Jumanji will not have the magic board game that was entirely the point of the movie?

Isn’t this like making a Total Recall movie and instead of having Mars, they just replace it with a nonsensical elevator to the other side of the planet?

It’s like if they remade Labyrinth without a fucking labyrinth!

Let me play with the devil’s avocado for a minute, and say why ditching the board game is a good idea, and works. When Jumanji was written, people played board games a lot more. There was a layer of drama from taking something familiar and making it magical. Video gaming was in its infancy, nobody even had a Nintendo. It was 1981! The 1995 movie dodged this by setting it up as a period piece. Who fucks around with board games now? Who WANTS to? The story becomes that of a magical wilderness springing from a device you don’t care about and only played on a lark because you’re babysitting and the power went out. Making the plot device a video game was a natural progression, and little if any sense is lost in the translation.

They also might have chosen to make the central device a tabletop game, to fit with the booming renaissance of that pastime. But that would appeal to fewer people, and incidentally have less merchandising potential.
