30 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Still To Come In 2017 - Ranked
24. Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle
Release Date: December 22nd
Billed As:
The remake/sequel to the beloved Robin Williams family film (which wasn't nearly as good as your memory would have you believe), starring The Rock, Karen Gillan, Jack Black and Kevin Hart. Inevitably, the board game has been updated to a video game.
Hype:
A remake is not unwelcome, because the film has been improved hugely by nostalgia, but a lot of fans will still balk at the idea of essentially "replacing" a Robin Williams classic. Even with that in mind, the decision to cast Dwayne Johnson was a smart one, and the film does look a lot of fun.
Even with some cynicism, this definitely has the potential to be one of the biggest family hits of the year.
