A new adaptation of 1981 adventure book is slated to release next year.
Schedules are still being worked out, as both Dwayne and Kevin have heavy production loads ahead, but according to a source things are moving toward a deal, reports variety.com.
Is the new ‘Jungle Book’ really a bare necessity?
The producers are planning to shoot Jumanji before the third season of Dwayne's series Ballers. He will also shoot Fast 8 this summer, reprising his role of Agent Hobbs. Meanwhile, Kevin is expected to shoot The Intouchables this summer.

The duo showed great chemistry after co-hosting the MTV Movie Awards, and with anticipation high for their upcoming action comedy film Central Intelligence, the producers see this as the perfect opportunity to pair the two up again for a film.
