Zathura is an illustrated children's book by the American author Chris Van Allsburg as well as the title of a 2005 film based on the book. Two boys are drawn into an intergalactic adventure when their house is magically hurled through space. The book is a sequel to Jumanji, another illustrated book by Van Allsburg, and references are made, both visual and textual, to Jumanji.
As Zathura starts, the parents of two brothers, Walter and Danny Budwing, are leaving, but Walter and Danny don't get along with each other. Danny wants to play catch, while Walter wants to watch T.V. Danny tosses Walter a baseball which hits him on the head. Walter then chases Danny through the house and catches him in the park across the street from their house, where they find a board game called Jumanji: A Jungle Adventure.
Zathura: A Space Adventure (or just Zathura) is a 2005 American science fiction fantasy adventure film directed by Jon Favreau, and is loosely based on the illustrated book Zathura by Chris Van Allsburg, author of Jumanji. The film stars Josh Hutcherson, Jonah Bobo, Dax Shepard, Kristen Stewart, and Tim Robbins.
The film was shot in Los Angeles and Culver City, California and was released on November 11, 2005 by Columbia Pictures. Unlike the book, the film contains no Jumanji material and does not mention any Jumanji events. The film was however marketed as a spiritual sequel with the tagline "from the world of Jumanji comes Zathura". Despite positive reviews from critics, Zathura was a box office disappointment.
Brothers Walter (Josh Hutcherson) and Danny (Jonah Bobo) can never seem to get along with each other, or with their older teen-aged sister, Lisa (Kristen Stewart). While staying at their divorced father's home while he is away at work and Lisa is asleep, the boys discover an old clockwork-driven space-themed board game called "Zathura" in the basement. The two begin to play the game, the goal to be the first to reach the final space named Zathura. During each turn, the game provides a card with instructions, but the two quickly realize the cards affect reality, starting with a meteor shower. They soon discover the house is floating on a small rock alongside Saturn. Meanwhile, Lisa looks out the window, and believing it is merely dark, goes to shower for her date. When the boys try to warn Lisa about what has happened, they find she is frozen in cryonic sleep as a result of one of the cards. The brothers realize that the only way to end the game and hopefully return to Earth is to reach the end space of Zathura.

Now I'll take the blame
So forget my name
Just close the blinds
So I can come down
I'm naked and shamed
Moth to the flame
Just take my hand
So we can both drown
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again
The same sweet game
Your halo is aflame
Feel my heart race
And breathe a sad sight
Let me wash away
And let go of the pain
Just look away
And turn a blind eye
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again (again)
So hold me down
If I feed I'm stronger
I don't feel no longer
So hold me down
If I feed I'm stronger
I don't feel no longer
So hold me down
If I feed I'm stronger
I don't feel no longer
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
I'll never forsake myself again(again)
I'll never believe in you again
I'll never forgive those things you said
My only relief is gone and dead
