Williams was joined in the original film by a young Kirsten Dunst as well as Bonnie Hunt, Patricia Clarkson and Bebe Neuwirth. The story centers on a pair of kids who stumble onto a haunted board game and must seek the help of a troubled older man to help complete the game.
The studio revealed the news in an official statement to hollywoodreporter.com saying: "We're going to try and reimagine Jumanji and update it for the present."
The original release was a box office smash, pulling in more the $260 million during its release. Thus far there is no word as to possible stars or a production schedule for the reboot.
