Sony released a roster of their upcoming film projects this week, and it includes Jumanji for a Christmas release in 2016.
Jufuckingmanji. Icon of childhoods. Benchmark of elaborate storylines. FEATURES ROBIN WILLIAMS. This is one of those movies that don't need a reboot—and "the internet seems to agree."
So who's the idiot who decided to reboot #Jumanji?

Along with someone who seemingly just discovered what the film was all about and was NOT impressed:
Who in their right mind would take a game home that they found at a construction site and had to break a lock just to open it? #jumanji

Anyway, there aren't enough NOPEs in the world to quantify the feelings around this remake.
Hopefully they'll stay away from Mrs. Doubtfire?
