I’m about to live vicariously through Warner Bros. Pictures’ new disaster pic that imagines the long-gestured “BIG ONE” – an earthquake of biblical proportions – sinking California so deep into the ground it’ll be gone forever.
Warners just released the film’s first trailer, and it’s pretty spectacular. We get a few shots of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, but mostly a lot of atmosphere of the damage the earthquake causes. California will sink – and the quake will shake so hard that people on the east coast will feel it. CRAY.
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 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).
San Andreas is slated to open in theatres in both 3D and 2D format on Friday, May 29, 2015.
