The "Central Intelligence" co-stars are in early talks to join the cast of the studio's Jumanji reboot. Jake Kasdan is directing the movie, which is billed as a new take on Chris Van Allsburg's Caldecott-winning children's book about a jungle-themed board game whose dangers magically come to life. The story was previously brought to the screen in 1995 by filmmaker Joe Johnston, with a cast including Robin Williams and Kirsten Dunst.
Johnson and Hart have become something of a dynamic duo of late, pairing up for the New Line action-comedy "Central Intelligence" (opening June 17) and co-hosting the MTV Movie Awards earlier this month. They each have several projects in the pipeline — including "Fast 8" and "The Intouchables" for Hart — which could make scheduling a challenge with regard to their potential Jumanji involvement. Jumanji is scheduled to open July 28, 2017.
