Leaving the hospital room, Thomas, who had come along, had just finished his phone call and returned in time to join Martin in heading downstairs to get into the Escalade that Bruce had driven over.
By the time they managed to escape the entanglement with entertainment reporters and paparazzi, Thomas said, "I just received feedback from the company, Sony Columbia Pictures is planning to remake 'Jumanji,' and Johnson was interested in the male lead but was rejected by Sony Columbia."
Martin had seen the project's planning documents, screenplay outline, and character design for the main team in the WMA database, and asked, "Does Sony Columbia still plan to collaborate with WMA?"
Thomas nodded, "They asked about your schedule."
