Dwayne Johnson says the Jumanji reboot will “honour” Robin Williams and show “the love and respect” he has for him.
Williams, of course, led the 1996 original in a role that took to many of our hearts.
Johnson spoke of the upcoming film and made his tribute to Williams on his Instagram account:

“An important thing that I want to be honest and bring up is Robin Williams. The love and respect I have for this man is boundless. You have my word, we will honor his name and the character of ‘Alan Parrish’ will stand alone and be forever immortalized in the world of Jumanji in an earnest and cool way”, Johnson said.
“I have an idea of what to do and I think his family will be proud. I also think Robin is somewhere lookin’ down and laughing, remembering the first time we met backstage and I (for the first time ever) was a star struck bumbling idiot that couldn’t even get my words out. Idiot. He literally calmed me down w/ that smile and laugh. But that’s for another fun story down the road”.
The Rock says we can expect casting news this week which we’ll be sure to keep you up to date on. The Jumanji remake is set for a July 2017 release.
