Adaptation Expansion - The boys gained a sister and an experienced astronaut mentor in the film, among other things.Nowadays, it's mostly remembered for being featured in a fourth season episode of The Apprentice, where none of the candidates could pronounce the film's name correctly. While moderately well-reviewed, it ended up being a box-office flop, mostly because it was released a week before Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire hit cinemas. There are no extras, crowd shots, or other group scenes. It's also worth noting that, excluding voice actors or people wearing alien costumes which cover their whole bodies, the film has a cast of exactly five, one of whom is barely in the film. Much like its predecessor, the film heaped on plenty of details that weren't in the original 32-pager, such as adding Lisa, Walter and Danny's older sister, and a mysterious astronaut who becomes a gruff mentor to the boys. Note, the book is a direct sequel to the book Jumanji, but the film is a Spiritual Successor to the film Jumanji. Despite their ongoing rivalry, Walter and Danny find they must work together if they're ever going to beat the game and get back home. However, Danny, the younger of the pair, discovers another game also hidden inside the box: the sci-fi based Zathura. The story picks up where the previous one left off: two boys discover the Jumanji board game where it was hidden and take it home. Zathura is the sequel to Jumanji, penned by Chris Van Allsburg and adapted into a fantasy film in 2005.
