Jumanji
Despite many fans decreeing it to be an insult to the memory of the original movie’s star Robin Williams, this Jumanji reboot is still very much in the game. Star Dwayne Johnson has said that the movie will honour William’s character Alan Parrish. Apart from Johnson, the reimagining’s eclectic cast includes Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Nick Jonas. It will be directed by Bad Teacher’s Jake Kasdan and is currently pencilled in for a July 2017 release.
The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Apparently not put off by the complete and utter failure of the original LoEG movie (its disastrous production is responsible for both director Stephen Norrington and star Sean Connery quitting the business), a new adaptation of Alan Moore’s Victorian Avengers comic book is in the works. Not much is known about it yet, but producer John Davis has assured that it will be a lot more “female centric” than the first film.
