Nick Jonas is in early talks to join Sony’s Jumanji, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The singer-songwriter would join Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart in the remake of the 1995 feature that starred the late Robin Williams as the freed jungle dweller who must work to win the magical board game that locked him away.
Jake Kasdan will direct Sony Pictures’ remake, which will take a new look at the Chris Van Allsburg book in a script written by Scott Rosenberg and Jeff Pinkner, based on a draft by the original writers, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.
Matt Tolmach and Bill Teitler are producing, with Ted Field, Mike Weber and Van Allsburg acting as executive producers.
