Kevin Hart, Dwayne Johnson and Jack Black are dispensing with all the levels.
Sony Pictures unveiled a first look at “Jumanji: Open World,” the long-gestating, latest entry in the action-comedy franchise, at CinemaCon on Monday as part of its presentation to theater owners.
Once again, our heroes find that the boundaries between a fantastical game and the real world have blurred. This time, the three leading actors will play three different characters. Johnson’s Dr. Bravestone, for instance, is Spanish (he pronounces charisma like the guy from the Dos Equis ads), while Hart and Black’s characters are “stuck in demo mode” and still working out a few kinks. Hopefully, they adapt quickly, because the trailer that Sony shared included plenty of scenes of jungle beasts rampaging through a pastoral New England town.
