New Rampage Trailer – Dwayne Johnson gets his very own giant gorilla monster movie

February 13, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

I don’t know whether Dwayne Johnson really wannted a role in Kong: Skull Island and didn’t get one – and so initiated his own very large gorilla movie. It seems a definite possibility, even if the gorillas here seem to have been dyeing their hair white, like the apes in Michael Crichton’s Congo!

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Primatologist Davis Okoye (Johnson), a man who keeps people at a distance, shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.’

Rampage – which oddly enough is based on a 1986 computer game (yes, really) is due out in cinemas in April. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Jason Momoa Up For Just Cause Film Adaptation, With Brad Petyon Directing

March 8, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Video game to movie adaptations may not have a great reputation, but Hollywood can’t give up on the idea that their might be a lot of money to be made from them. One of the latest that’s in the work, is a movie version of Just Cause.

Deadline reports that Jason Momoa is set to star in the film, with Brad Peyton directing. Game Of Thrones star Momoa has been on on the verge of breaking massively for quite a while, and the makers of Just Cause will be hoping that the fact he is soon to be seen as Aquaman will make him an even bigger name.

Peyton meanwhile is coming off two movie that made far more money that most people realise, Journey 2 and San Andreas. Next up he’s helming another videogame inspired film, Rampage, which will reunite him with Dwayne Johnson. The movie will come before Just Cause.

The Just Cause movie, ‘like the game, follows Rico Rodriguez (Momoa) who is an operative for an organization known as the Agency. The plot of the movie is under wraps but it is expected to deal in some way with Rico’s crisis of conscience while on a mission.’

Naomie Harris Will Star Alongside Dwayne Johnson In Monster Movie Rampage

January 25, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Hollywood is still keen to adapt videogames, even though few have been particularly successful and quite a lot had been horrific flops. However, you have to wonder what’s going on when they decided it would be a good idea to make a big-budget movie out of a computer game from 1986 – Rampage.

It becomes easier to understand when you realise it’ll give them a chance to have ‘a monstrously transformed gorilla, crocodile and wolf’ wreaking havoc on American cities and landmarks, and Dwayne Johnson’s already agreed to star in it. Now THR reports that he’s been joined by Naomie Harris, who just yesterday scored her first Oscar nomination, for Moonlight (she was previously best known as the latest Moneypenny in the Bond movies).

Johnson is set to be an animal lover who becomes the world’s only hope to stop the rampaging animals, while Harris will be a morally upright geneticist. She apparently signed on to star after enjoying the ‘fun tone of the script’.

Bray Peyton, who worked with Johnson on both San Andreas and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, is set to direct the movie. Rampage will be in cinemas on April 20th, 2018.

San Andreas (Blu-ray Review)

October 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario, Hugo Johnstone-Burt, Paul Giamatti
Director: Brad Peyton
Running Time: 114 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: October 12th 2015 (UK)

If you’d hoped that having Lost’s Carlton Cuse writing the screenplay would result in San Andreas being a more cerebral form of disaster movie, you should realise he was also an executive producer on Nash Bridges, so he is not averse to more straightforward entertainment. Indeed, it’s almost like he watched every Roland Emmerich movies – from 2012 and The Day After Tomorrow to Independence Day and Godzilla – and then used that as his template, but cut out anything too intelligent.

There is little to surprise here, although it certainly delivers on the large sale mayhem.

Dwayne Johnson is Los Angeles helicopter rescue pilot Ray, who’s dealing with the collapse of his marriage following the death of one of his children. However, he’s soon going to have more than that to worry about (actually, that’s not true as that’s all he cares about), when earthquakes start devastating California, starting at the Hoover Dam and then working its way up to San Francisco. And wouldn’t you know it, Ray’s daughter is in San Francisco, and so he sets off to rescue her, dodging city destroying shaking, tsunamis and general building destroying catastrophe along the way, as the San Andreas fault splits apart, resulting in the biggest quakes ever known.

Final San Andreas Trailer Arrives – Dwayne Johnson takes on an earthquake

May 5, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

san-andreas-slide1After the terrible Earthquake in Nepal, it was quickly revealed that Warner Bros. was making changes to its marketing for the upcoming San Andreas, and that may be present here, as this new trailer lays on the pathos and horror of the situation far more than earlier promos, which invited us to enjoy the orgy of destruction.

It’ll be interesting to see which of these tones is closet to the actual movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘After the infamous San Andreas Fault finally gives, triggering a magnitude 9 earthquake in California, a search and rescue helicopter pilot (Dwayne Johnson) and his estranged wife make their way together from Los Angeles to San Francisco to save their only daughter. But their treacherous journey north is only the beginning. And when they think the worst may be over…it’s just getting started.’

The movie will his UK cinemas May 28th. [Read more…]

New San Andreas Trailer – Plus a poster for the Dwayne Johnson disaster movie

March 10, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

san-andreas-posterNot content with the motor mayhem of Fast & Furious 7, Dwayne Johnson has decided he wants to destroy the entire West Coast of America this year! Well, okay, nature (and a whole lot of CGI) will be doing the destroying, but Dwayne is along for the rise.

And to prove this will be as over the top as any modern disaster flick is bound to be, a new trailer and poster has arrived.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘After the infamous San Andreas Fault finally gives, triggering a magnitude 9 earthquake in California, a search and rescue helicopter pilot (Dwayne Johnson) and his estranged wife make their way together from Los Angeles to San Francisco to save their only daughter.

‘But their treacherous journey north is only the beginning. And when they think the worst may be over…it’s just getting started.

‘The action thriller “San Andreas,” from New Line Cinema and Village Roadshow Pictures, reunites Dwayne Johnson with director Brad Peyton and producer Beau Flynn, following their collaboration on the global hit “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.”

‘The film also stars Carla Gugino (“Night at the Museum,” TV’s “Entourage”), Alexandra Daddario (“Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters,” TV’s “True Detective”), Ioan Gruffudd (“Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer”), Archie Panjabi (TV’s “The Good Wife”), Hugo Johnstone-Burt (Australian TV’s “Home and Away”), Art Parkinson (TV’s “Game of Thrones”) and Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti (“Cinderella Man”).’

It’ll be in cinemas this summer. [Read more…]

San Andreas Trailer – The Big One is coming (and we don’t just mean Dwayne Johnson)

December 9, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

san-andreas-slideIt’s surprising that it’s taken this long for Hollywood to make a massive 3D earthquake movie, but 2015 will see one in the form of San Andreas. And by the looks of it, it’s out to prove Roland Emmerich (Day After Tomorrow, 2012) isn’t the only person who can show disaster on a ridiculously epic scale.

The main human stuck in the middle of this tectonic Armageddon is Dwayne Johnson, although the trailer knows the stars of the show here are the building collapsing, the earth shaking and the dams bursting. It’s fair to say that the movie believes that when a huge quake hits LA, the city is completely buggered (although oddly most of the film was shot in Australia).

Here’s the synopsis: ‘After the infamous San Andreas Fault finally gives, triggering a magnitude 9 earthquake in California, a search and rescue helicopter pilot (Dwayne Johnson) and his estranged wife make their way together from Los Angeles to San Francisco to save their only daughter.

‘But their treacherous journey north is only the beginning. And when they think the worst may be over…it’s just getting started.

‘The action thriller “San Andreas,” from New Line Cinema and Village Roadshow Pictures, reunites Dwayne Johnson with director Brad Peyton and producer Beau Flynn, following their collaboration on the global hit “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.”’

A May 29th, 2015 release is set. [Read more…]

Kylie Minogue Heads To San Andreas Alongside Dwayne Johnson

June 11, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Kylie-MinogueKylie Minogue may have started out as an actress, but she doesn’t book that many gigs in front of the camera nowadays. However now THR reports that she’s joining Dwayne Johnson in San Andreas.

Johnson will play a man who travels across California to rescue his estranged daughter after a massive earthquake strikes. It’s not known exactly who the Aussie pop star will play, but she’ll star alongside Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario, Colton Haynes and Art Parkinson.

Lost’s Carlton Cuse signed on to rewrite the script in 2012, although the most recent draft was written by Chad Hayes and Carey Hayes (The Conjuring).

March 16, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

san-andreas-pic1
Ever since 3D started to take off, various people in Hollywood have put disaster movies about earthquakes into development. However most either disappeared or were cancelled due to budget worries. One is going ahead and to prove it, Dwayne Johnson has posted the first pic from San Andreas on his Instagram.

He accompanied the pic with the message, “Puttin’ in a lot of hard ass work and proud to play my next role… Los Angeles Fire Department Air Squadron Rescue. Shooting starts in 4 weeks. Biggest earthquake of all time hits… SAN ANDREAS. #FirstInLastOut”

Johnson will play a helicopter pilot who travels across California to rescue his estranged daughter after a massive earthquake strikes.
