After fans of the 1995 adventure classic expressed their outrage at the movie getting a contemporary reboot, The Rock came out to assure fans that the movie is in fact a sequel, though it honestly sounded more like a PR move than one that honestly reflects what the film is.

It's known that the film will make Jumanji a video game rather than a board game, because kids don't play board games anymore, and the four teenagers who end up sucked into it will assume the avatars that are played by The Rock, Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart and Jack Black...which sounds pretty damn different to the original.

Yes, there will probably be references to Alan Parrish, but this is clearly an attempt to exploit the original property and re-purpose it as a new multi-film blockbuster franchise. If only they'd be truthful about that fact.
