– The Rock posted the following on Instagram, confirming that he and his production company are doing the remake of Jumanji…

It’s OFFICIAL: Love this script! Big movie news that me and my canine gal Shang are excited to share;) To produce, create and deliver original properties to fans like HBO’s #ballers to this summer’s #CentralIntelligence is one of the best parts of my job.
But to take great properties that are beloved worldwide like #BAYWATCH and #RAMPAGE and have the opportunity reimagine their stories in dope new ways to a whole new generation is truly an honor.

It’s official. We’ll produce and deliver to a whole new generation a title that I love and is one of my all time favs: There’s games you play for fun… then there’s games that change your life.

JUMANJI

Working on edging up an already very good script with my @sevenbucksprod team. Up next is meeting with our producer Matt Tolmach and director Jake Kasdan. Shooting starts this fall.
Promise to deliver something cool and special.. and not screw the whole damn thing up;). As always I’ll keep you posted. This is gonna be fun.

Please don't ruin this movie......

Didn't they make like a space version a few years ago? Or maybe it was just like Jumanji

Similar board game themed adventure, think it was called zathura or something. That was years ago tho and wasn't that bad.

I'm not sure Rock fits. I'm guessing he's playing the Robin Williams role. You can see Williams surviving in Jumanji through wits. Rock would just punch things to death.
