It follows Brett Blackmore (Brown), an exemplary high school senior who is on a path for a future he’s not even sure he wants. When his senior prank goes horribly wrong, seven Ivy-League colleges pull their acceptances, and his future crumbles.
In frustration, and with nothing left to lose, he launches the F*ck-It List – all the things he wishes he’d done in high school but was too busy or afraid to try. The list goes viral, making him famous overnight and a beacon of hope for his peers.
This new found fame and influence prompts Brett to break free and make a run for a future of his own design.
The new film continues the idea from the original that the works of prolific horror author R.L. Stine can come to life and again, Slappy is running the show.
The 21-year-old actress, who most recently appeared in Jumanji: Welcome To the Jungle and just wrapped up the new Goosebumps movie, is the first actor cast in the movie, which will be directed by David Henrie.
The flick centers on “a nebbish high school senior and his best friends as they embark on a road trip to attend the greatest music festival of the year in a last-ditch effort to win over the girl of his dreams.”
David says of casting Madison, “I’m so stoked to have Madison on board at such an exciting time in her career.”
He adds, “Madison has the ability to give a deeply layered performance which is the exact quality I was looking for because her character is one that’s dealing with complex emotions stemming from a deep desire to break free from the labels she’s been branded with in high school.”
Madison Iseman looks super cute while appearing at Comic Con Portugal on Saturday (December 16) in Porto, Portugal.
The actress was in attendance to promote her upcoming movie Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
“I had such an amazing at @comicconportugal !! Thank you so much for having me, I had so much fun meeting all of you!! Jumanji is out so soon!!! #jumanjifilme #ccpt17,” she wrote on Instagram with some photos from the weekend.
“The cast is amazing. I really enjoyed the scenes with all of my teen co-stars,” Madison told Crookes magazine about her co-stars. “Jack Black was also amazing to work with. Even though we didn’t share any scenes because we turn into each other, we still had time to work on the character and script together.”
Earlier that day, Nick found out he was nominated for a Golden Globe for his co-writing of the song “Home” from the animated film Ferdinand.
“My wake-up call this morning was one of my friends banging on my door because I wasn’t answering my phone,” he told E! News. “He handed me his phone and at first I feared that something was wrong, but then it was my manager telling me the news and I freaked out. I was like a 10-year-old child who just got a new Gameboy.”
FYI: Nick is wearing Ermenegildo Zegna. Madison is wearing Thai Nguyen Atelier.

Madison Iseman headed to Dubai for a special premiere of Jumanji!
The 20-year-old Jumanji actress stepped out at the Dubai International Film Festival on Saturday night (December 9) at the Madinat Jumeriah Complex in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
After the premiere, Madison took to her Instagram to thank everyone for the warm welcome.
“DUBAI! Thank you for being so inviting. And thank you @dubaifilmfestival for having us present the Middle East premiere of Jumanji: Welcome to The Jungle! this trip has been amazing beyond words. Feeling very humbled and grateful as I travel back home to the states. #JumanjiME,” Madison wrote.
With the new Jumanji movie out in just a few months, Madison Iseman is opening up about working on the film with Cliche magazine.
The actress plays Bethany, the popular teen who is sucked into the Jumanji video game with four of her classmates — and magically turned into Jack Black.
“The entire experience was unreal,” Madison shares. “Jack and I had the chance to sit down and do some character work on Bethany. We totally had to be on the same page since we’re sharing this character together.”
Madison also opens up about getting to the first general table read with the entire cast in Hawaii, where she was terrified and freaking out all at the same time.
“Production flew the ‘teens’ out to Hawaii for a general table read with the rest of the cast,” she recalls. “It was the most terrifying/coolest experience of my life. It was the first time I had worked on such a big production with so many named talents. I was seated between Jack Black and The Rock…not terrifying at all!”
She adds, “It ended up being so cool though! Like I said, Jack and I got the opportunity to go over the character that we’re both playing and get to know each other.”
“We started the table read and the ‘teens’ are the first to speak in the movie. I was praying someone would laugh when I read my lines, and thank God they did!
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is out at Christmas.
