Massive Ape Dwarfs Dwayne Johnson in New ‘Rampage’ Image
For once, The Rock isn’t the most muscular one in a Rock movie!
Via EW today comes a brand new image from Brad Peyton’s Rampage, showing just how much bigger the ape named George is than Dwayne Johnson’s character.
Like the trailer, the image is surprisingly drab for a film based on an ’80s arcade game, which has us worried. Then again, The Rock vs. Monsters is enough to sell us a ticket!
Get ready to Rampage on April 20, 2018.
In the film, “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 transforms this gentle ape into a raging monster. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered alpha predators. As these newly created monsters 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.”
The screenplay is by Ryan Engle and Adam Sztykiel, story by Ryan Engle.
Rampage also stars Oscar nominee Naomie Harris (Moonlight), Malin Akerman (TV’s Billions), Jake Lacy (TV’s Girls), Joe Manganiello (TV’s True Blood) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (TV’s The Walking Dead); as well as P.J. Byrne (Final Destination 5), Marley Shelton (Solace), Breanne Hill (San Andreas), Jack Quaid (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire), and Matt Gerald (TV’s Daredevil).

Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.

The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
