''[['''Zathura]]''''' is the sequel to ''[[Jumanji]]'', penned by Chris Van Allsburg and adapted into a fantasy film in 2005. 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. However, Danny, the younger of the pair, discovers another game also hidden inside the box: the sci-fi based ''Zathura''. 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.
 
Note, the book is a direct sequel to the book ''Jumanji'', but the film is a [[Spiritual Successor]] to the film ''Jumanji''.
Line 8:
Much like its predecessor, the film [[Adaptation Expansion|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. It's also worth noting that, excluding voice actors or people wearing alien costumes which cover their whole bodies, the film has [[Minimalist Cast|a cast of exactly five]], one of whom is barely in the film. There are no extras, crowd shots, or other group scenes.
 
While moderately well-reviewed, it ended up being a box-office flop, mostly because it was released a week before ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Goblet of Fire (film)|Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]'' hit cinemas. Nowadays, it's mostly remembered for being featured in a fourth season episode of ''[[The Apprentice (TV series)|The Apprentice]]'', where none of the candidates could pronounce the film's name correctly.
