In an effort to produce more family friendly fare, Sony Pictures is looking to remake their 1995 box-office hit, Jumanji. Now, the studio has attached The Amazing Spider-Man producer, Matt Tolmach to shepherd the project along with original producer, William Teitler.  Another of the original film's producers, Ted Field, will return to executive produce. The Robin Williams-starrer featured two children (one of whom was a young Kirsten Dunst) who played the titular board game, released a man trapped within (Williams) and needed to finish the game in order to restore order to their world.  Variety reported on Tolmach's attachment to the project that hopes to entertain a new generation of kids (and empty the pockets of their parents).
