Jumanji 3 Title Is Open World: Dwayne Johnson Shows Trailer

Published by Daniella Wilson

Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart and Jack Black are heading to our society this time around in Jumanji 3. The trio of stars hit the CinemaCon stage in Las Vegas to debut the first footage from the forthcoming film, which revealed its title as Jumanji: Open World. “We are pumped about being back for another Jumanji,” Hart noted. Black said, “I’ve never had more fun working on a movie. This is my favorite so far.” Hart joked that he didn’t quite agree and said about shooting the film alongside frequent co-star Johnson: “It was work.” “You don’t fucking know these people,” Hart quipped as Johnson tried to thank some of the exhibition executives in the audience. “It’s such Hollywood bullshit.” Johnson offered a sentimental moment when sharing that half the dice in the new film was the one used in Robin Williams’ 1995 Jumanji: “Robin, as we like to say, this one’s for you.” The trailer shows Johnson, Black, Hart and Karen Gillan in the real world as stilted versions of the video game avatars they …

Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas‘ professional relationship gets off-key in the trailer for the comedy feature Power Ballad. Lionsgate releases writer-director John Carney‘s movie June 5 following its premiere earlier this month at the Dublin International Film Festival. Jack Reynor and Havana Rose Liu round out the cast. Power Ballad centers on wedding singer Rick (Rudd) connecting with former boy band member Danny (Jonas) as they work on music together. When Danny turns one of Rick’s songs into a career-reviving hit, Rick sets out to get his proper recognition. “I could tell within two minutes of meeting you, you’re not just some boy band guy,” Rudd says in the trailer. This leads Jonas to respond, “And you are too good for that wedding band.” Later, things get tense, with both of them getting bloody as their rift turns physical. Jonas asks, “Do you think it is easy to turn a song into a hit?” Carney (Once, Begin Again) helmed the movie from a script he co-wrote with Peter McDonald. Carney produces alongside Anthony Bregman, Peter …
