Dwayne Johnson is producing and starring in what is technically a sequel to Jumanji — but isn’t it still a reboot? Who even knows anymore.

The Hollywood reboot craze is in full swing, but audiences are quickly tiring of the obvious attempts to cash in on our society’s collective nostalgia for simpler times.

While some franchise revivals choose to go in the remake direction (see Disney’s live-action movies, Ghostbusters and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo), others disguise themselves as sequels — with a somewhat better success rate. Just look at Jurassic World and Star Wars: The Force Awakens!

But audiences aren’t stupid, and we’re well aware of these ‘sequoots’ being just another way to revive interest in a bygone franchise, under the cover of some sketchy ties to the original installment(s). The very word ‘reboot’ is sufficiently ambiguous to cover all manner of sins, despite technically referring to the works that erase original canon to produce a brand new origin story (for a very literal example, see Star Trek), and calling something a “sequel” doesn’t necessarily absolve it of its reboot status.

Yet that is exactly what Dwayne Johnson is trying to do with Jumanji, set to be a follow-up to the Robin Williams classic from 1995.

Writes Johnson on Instagram:

Finished strong and on to the next. That's an officially wrap on #FastAndFurious8. Thank you to our director @fgarygray for the vision and execution. Thank you UNIVERSAL for being tremendous partners as always, thank you to all my fellow co-stars for the daily effort and grind. Scott Eastwood you handsome sumbitch! Natalie Emmanuel I have a cold Budweiser ready for you and Tyrese Gibson you still have the biggest smile and forehead I've ever seen.? And a huge THANK YOU to our hard working production crew – the backbone of our business. Your kind words meant a lot to me last night – thank you! In the end, we all rallied, as great teams do, kicked ass and will deliver an amazing movie to the world. Proud of our entire FAST FAMILY. And now in two weeks I'll reunite with ol' friends Kevin Hart & Jack Black and we have the honor to introduce a whole new generation to the amazing world of #JUMANJI. *(for the record we are NOT making a reboot, but rather a continuation of the awesome JUMANJI story). It's also crazy to me how much me, Kev and Jack look like triplets when we're together. ??????. Man this is gonna be FUN. #WheelsUp #ThatsAWrap #FromFastAndFurious #StraightIntoJumanji #BigBrownBaldTattooedMan #DarkChocolateComedicRockStar #BrillaintCrazyCurvyCaucasion #TheseHashtagsAreRidiculous #INeedSleepAndCARBS #ButIWillSettleForTequila

“For the record we are NOT making a reboot,” Johnson affirms, despite having previously referred to the film as a “re-imagining” of the original book on which the Robin Williams movie was based.

The Rock has made sure to state repeatedly that he intends to to respect Robin Williams’ work and pay homage to it in the new film, probably as an attempt to pacify the skeptics.

Sorry Dwayne, we love your alarm clock but we can’t promise not to refer to Jumanji 2 as a reboot occasionally anyway…

The Jumanji whatever-it-is will be directed by Jake Kasdan, and also stars Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Nick Jonas. It hits cinemas in July of 2017.
