Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has supplied Blu-ray.com with an early access look at the supplemental content for the highly anticipated release of Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, including five featurettes, a gag reel, and a music video. The
film, from Director Jake Kasdan and starring Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen
Gillan, Rhys Darby, Nick Jonas, debuts on Blu-ray and UHD on March 20, 2018.
Journey Through The Jungle: The Making of Jumanji (1080p, 14:51): Rhys Darby in character as Nigel Billingsley hosts a broad
look over the film, including the work of Director Jake Kasdan and the qualities he brought to the film and life on the set, shooting in Hawaii and
Atlanta, how this
film's story parallels and differers from the original 1995 film, sets and props (and how some hearken back to the original film), costume design, and
creature effects.
Meet the Players: A Heroic Cast (1080p, 7:06): As the title suggests, this supplement briefly explores the key characters and the actors
who portray them, with emphasis on the challenges of portraying the "avatars" of the "real" people they play in the film.
Attack of the Rhinos! (1080p, 3:54): A closer look at making one of the film's most visually intensive and action-packed scenes that
involves "flesh-eating albino rhinos" chasing a helicopter. Visual effects progression clips are included.
Surviving the Jungle: Spectacular Stunts! (1080p, 5:45): Crafting big and spectacular action scenes, including the motorcycle scene
made with
professional drivers, Ruby Roundhouse's fighting skill sets, and making the film's climactic scene.
Book to Board Game to Big Screen & Beyond! Celebrating The Legacy of Jumanji (1080p, 4:43): Cast and crew reflect on the
original film
and discuss the process of honoring it while forging a new identity for this film.
Gag Reel (1080p, 2:24): A basic compilation of funny moments from the shoot with, unsurprisingly, a healthy dose of Kevin Hart.
Music Video (1080p, 3:48): "Jumanji, Jumanji" by Jack Black and Nick Jonas. A humorous tongue-in-cheek performance like only Jack
Black can deliver. If only all music videos were this fun!
