Alex sets the game aside. That night, it transforms into a video game cartridge which catches Alex 's attention when he is awakened by the Jumanji drums and he is transported into the game. Twenty years later, in 2016, four Brantford High School students serve detention : Spencer Gilpin, caught writing an essay for former friend Anthony `` Fridge '' Johnson ( also in detention ) ; Bethany Walker, who answered a video call during an English - class quiz and Martha Kaply, who refused to participate in gym class. They are sent to the school basement to prepare magazines for recycling and to think about their future. Fridge discovers Alex 's discarded video - game system when he explores the basement, and he and Spencer set up the game. Although it has five playable characters, the first one can not be selected. Spencer and Fridge choose two characters, and the girls choose their own. When Spencer presses `` Start '', they are transported into the game. They are in a jungle, in the forms of their game avatars. Spencer is tough, muscular explorer and archaeologist Smolder Bravestone ; Fridge is diminutive zoologist Franklin `` Mouse '' Finbar, whom he chose after misreading `` Mouse '' as `` Moose '' ; Bethany is a chubby male cartographer and intellectual Sheldon `` Shelly '' Oberon ( whose nickname she mistook for a woman 's ), and Martha is beautiful commando and martial arts expert Ruby Roundhouse. They each have three lives ; Spencer deduces that if they lose all three, they die in real life. They learn the game 's story from NPC Nigel : corrupt archeologist Russel Van Pelt stole the Jaguar 's Eye ( a magic jewel ) from its shrine, cursing Jumanji. Nigel escaped Van Pelt with the jewel, and the players must return it to a jaguar statue and call `` Jumanji '' to lift the curse. Nigel warns them that Van Pelt will stop at nothing to retrieve the jewel, which gives him control of Jumanji 's animals. They begin tackling the game 's increasingly - difficult `` levels '', losing lives as they do so. The four are rescued by Alex ( the missing fifth player, whose avatar is pilot Jefferson `` Seaplane '' McDonough ). Taking shelter in a jungle house built by the game 's previous player Alan Parrish, Alex believes that he has been in the game for a few months and is distressed to learn that it is really twenty years. The newcomers vow to help him return home. They break into a transportation shed, commandeering a helicopter to fly to the jaguar statue and return the jewel, but Fridge drops the jewel into a herd of white rhinoceros. Spencer uses one of Fridge 's lives, pushing him out of the helicopter as a distraction, and retrieves the jewel. Alex loses his last life when a mosquito bites him, but Bethany performs CPR and transfers one of her lives to him. At the statue, the players are surrounded by a pack of jaguars and Van Pelt 's forces. They outmaneuver their opposition while Spencer and Martha race to the statue. Van Pelt confronts Martha ( trapped in a pit of mambas ) and demands the jewel, but she sacrifices one of her lives to re-spawn and get it to Spencer. With the players on their last lives, they end the game with Van Pelt disintegrating into a bunch of rats and return to the real world, but Alex does not appear with them. They find the formerly - dilapidated Vreeke home restored and decorated for a Christmas family gathering. An adult Alex arrives, having had returned to where he left off in 1996. Now married with children, he named his eldest daughter after Bethany out of gratitude for saving his life and introduces them to his infant son, Andy. Spencer and Fridge reconcile, Bethany begins caring for others more than herself and plans a summer backpacking adventure, Martha and Spencer become romantically involved and the four are now friends after their experiences in the game. When they hear Jumanji 's drumbeats, they bring the game behind the school and Fridge destroys it with a bowling ball ( also found in detention ) to prevent anyone from playing it again.

Production Development In July 2012, rumors circulated that a remake of Jumanji was in development. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrad said : `` We 're going to try and reimagine Jumanji and update it for the present. '' On August 1, 2012, it was confirmed that Matthew Tolmach would produce the new version with William Teitler ( who produced the original film ). In August 2015, Sony Pictures Entertainment announced that the film was scheduled for release on December 25, 2016. Online reception to the news was negative, with some saying that the announcement came too soon after the August 2014 death of Robin Williams ( who played Alan Parrish in the original film ). The announcement was criticized by Bradley Pierce ( who played Peter Shepherd in Jumanji ) and by E ! News, which called the remake `` unnecessary and kind of insulting ''. On October 23, 2015, Scott Rosenberg was hired to rewrite the script for the film, whose production was a high priority for the studio. On January 14, 2016, Deadline Hollywood reported that Jake Kasdan had been hired to direct the film from a script by Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner based on a draft by original writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. On April 15, Variety reported that Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart were in early talks to star in the film ( although both actors had other projects ). Later in the month, Johnson confirmed his casting on Instagram. In July, it was reported that Nick Jonas had joined the film 's cast with Johnson, Hart, and Jack Black. The following month, Johnson said that the film would not be a reboot but a continuation of the 1995 film ; Karen Gillan was announced as part of the cast. On September 20, Ser'Darius Blain was cast as Anthony `` Fridge '' Johnson and Madison Iseman as Bethany Walker. Two days later, Rhys Darby was cast as Nigel Billingsley, Morgan Turner as Martha Kaply, and Alex Wolff as Spencer Gilpin. In November 2016, Bobby Cannavale announced his casting in the film, and in December 2016, Tim Matheson joined the cast as Old Man Vreeke. Although James Newton Howard was originally signed to compose the film 's score, he was replaced by Henry Jackman when the film 's release date was postponed six months. In March 2017, during CinemaCon, it was announced that the film 's complete title was Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle. Its plot involved teenagers cleaning out a school 's basement who find a vintage video - game version of Jumanji and are sucked into the first film 's jungle setting. Although fans debated whether the film was a sequel or a reboot, the second trailer ( released on September 20, 2017 ) indicated that the sequel is set 21 years after the first. Filming Principal photography began on September 19, 2016, in Honolulu, Hawaii, primarily at the Kualoa Ranch nature reserve. The film wrapped on December 8 in Atlanta, Georgia. Release In August 2015, Sony gave the film a release date of December 25, 2016. Since filming did not begin until September 2016, the release was pushed back to July 28 and then to December 20, 2017. On November 29, 2017, it was announced that Amazon Prime members in the United States would have early access to tickets for a December 8 screening of the film at select Regal, National Amusements, ArcLight Cinemas and AMC theaters. The screenings sold out at 1,200 theaters and earned $1.9 million. The film was released on IMAX 2D on January 12, 2018. Home Media Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle was released on Digital HD on March 6, 2018 and on DVD, Blu - ray and 4K Ultra HD Blu - ray on March 20, although the film was still in theatres. The Blu - ray and digital versions include two additional featurettes : `` Surviving the Jungle : Spectacular Stunts ! '' and `` Book to Board Game to Big Screen & Beyond !

David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a C grade, calling it unnecessary but mildly amusing : `` Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle is further proof that even the stalest whiff of brand recognition has become preferable to originality. Only part of the blame for that belongs to the studios but after cannibalizing themselves for much of the last 20 years, Hollywood has clearly eaten their way down to the crumbs ''. For Variety, Owen Gleiberman wrote : `` Excitement ! Suspense ! Childlike innocence ! Ingeniously staged action set pieces ! These are a few of the things you will not find, anywhere, in Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle... It 's supposed to be a board game come to life but really, it 's just a bored game.
