Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a 2017 American adventure comedy film directed by Jake Kasdan from a screenplay by the writing teams of Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, and Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, based on a story conceived by McKenna. The film is the third installment in the Jumanji film series and a stand-alone sequel to Jumanji (1995). It stars Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas, and Bobby Cannavale. The story focuses on a group of teenagers who come across Jumanji, now transformed into a video game twenty-two years after the events of the 1995 film. They find themselves trapped inside the game as a set of adult avatars, seeking to complete a treacherous quest alongside another player who has been trapped since 1996. Principal photography began in Honolulu in September 2016 and ended in Atlanta in December, with the film containing notable references to the first film as a tribute to its lead actor Robin Williams. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, premiered at the Grand Rex in Paris on December 5, 2017, and was released in the United States on December 20 by Sony Pictures Releasing. The film received mostly positive reviews from critics, with praise for its humor and performances. It grossed $962.5 million worldwide, becoming the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2017. A sequel, Jumanji: The Next Level, was released on December 13, 2019.

Hey, Martha. Martha. You can't play catch by yourself. Pair up. Come on. Let's go. No. No, I'm good. Okay. [STUDENTS CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY] You have to participate just like everybody else. Otherwise, why are you even here? It's a requirement. - Martha... - I think it's pointless. Gym class is not gonna get me into Princeton, and I don't understand the obsession with throwing a ball into a hoop and, "Touchdown, five points!" Okay. There's a lot wrong with that, but first of all... It's physical activity, which is good for you. With other people, also good for you. And if you try it, you might even have some fun. Fun. That's what we're doing here? Fun? This is school. We are supposed to be learning things that matter. - Okay, Martha... - We don't have a lot of time in this life, and I personally don't wanna waste it on being, like, a gym teacher.

Miss Mathers? "And it was this sense of national exceptionalism that fueled the spreading wildfire of westward expansion." Does that sound familiar, Mr. Gilpin?

- It does not. - It's the last sentence of Anthony's paper on westward expansion. And, coincidentally, it's the last sentence of your paper on westward expansion from last year.

That's interesting. MATHERS: Is it? I think so. I mean, what are the odds of that? Slim. MATHERS: Yeah, you also used the same metaphor: "the spreading wildfire," in your papers on the Boston Tea Party, the Battle of Gettysburg, and the women's suffrage movement.

It's so hot in this room. Anthony, I know how much you need to pass my class, but this is not how you do it. - I will not tolerate cheating. - Cheating? I didn't... I didn't... I didn't cheat. It was my fault.

Yeah. Mm-hm. [PEOPLE CHATTERING INDISTINCTLY] Look. I'm sorry, okay? No, no, it's not okay. What the hell, man? You got me kicked off the team. Yeah, well, you could've gotten me expelled. It's not like you're the only one who's living dangerously. - Living dangerously? - SPENCER: Yes. This is the most dangerous thing I've ever done in my life. And now look at me. I'm paying the price. [BELL RINGS] PRINCIPAL: Well... isn't this a fun group? Welcome to detention.

Yes, Spencer? I wanna say that I'm sorry. - Thank you. - Bentley, all I did was make... Bethany, please. You're all here for a reason. You know what it is. But this is what you should be thinking about: Who you are... in this moment in time, and who you want to be. You get one life. You decide how you're gonna spend it. [♪♪♪♪♪] Fortunately... there is no better place for self-reflection than detention. Get up, everybody. Let's go.

We are turning this into a new computer center. But before we do, it has to be cleaned out. These old magazines are bound for the recycling plant. But they have to be prepped before they go. It seems all the staples must be removed. Whatever you don't finish today, you finish tomorrow. - Tomorrow's Saturday. - Because I wouldn't play? - I don't think that'll work. - That's fair. - Shut up. - So I suggest you get started. Choose your weapons.

Hey. I was watching you with Coach Web today. I wasn't watching you, I wasn't... Not, like, in a weird way. I just... I was in the room. We're in the same class. Um, but I thought you were saying some really smart things about why P.E. sucks and, um... about other subjects. Thanks. Yeah.

Yo. What's this? [♪♪♪♪♪] - I don't know. - FRIDGE: What is it, like, some type of old-school Nintendo or something? I don't think so. I don't recognize it.

I have no idea. Never heard of it. [GAME CHIMES] Hm... Uh, which one do I pick? I don't know. I don't think it matters that much. "Jefferson 'Seaplane' McDonough. - Pilot and rascal." - [GAME BEEPING] - It's not working. - Okay, try another one. "Franklin 'Moose' Finbar." Hm. He sounds like a badass. And he's a zoology expert, which is awesome.
