Sony Pictures Entertainment today put down stakes for a whopping 16 films for 2016 and 2017 including a Jumanji and Ghostbusters reboot




The 1995 cult classic film Jumanji will be back in theaters December 25th 2016 for a bigger, better, and a more epic reboot.
We first heard rumblings of a potential remake of Jumanji back in 2012, but it's one of those projects that appeared to have quietly fallen off the radar. Back in 2012, Zack Helm (Stranger Than Fiction) was hired to pen a screenplay, and when we spoke to producer Matt Tolmach in 2014, he indicated the project was still active, but had nothing new to say on it.

His exact words to us? "I hired a very, very good writer called Zach Helm, who wrote Stranger Than Fiction and other things. And we're working on the script. I'm really excited about it".

The 1995 fantasy-adventure film directed by Joe Johnston starred the late Robin Williams as Alan Parrish, a man who was trapped in a Jumanji game when he was still a young boy. Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce played siblings Judy and Peter Shepherd who found the game and began playing.













The Female Ghostbusters reboot is scheduled for July 15th 2016, Feig made it clear that this was a reboot and not Ghostbusters 3. "I love the first one so much, I don't want to do anything to ruin the memory of that," Feig said. "So it just felt like, let's just restart it because then we can have new dynamics. I want the technology to be even cooler. I want it to be really scary, and I want it to happen in our world today that hasn't gone through it so it's like, oh my God what's going on?"



Both Wiig and McCarthy worked with Feig on Bridesmaids, and the director also recruited McCarthy for The Heat. Jones, who after making her debut last year has been one of the weekly highlights of this season's Saturday Night Live, recently appeared in Chris Rock's Top Five. For the Emmy-nominated McKinnon, Ghostbusters will mark the comedian's first major film role.
