From King Kong to Pacific Rim, Godzilla and now Jurassic World, giant monsters are all the rage in Hollywood, presumably because they can use all the CGI their black hearts desire.
With the global box office hit of Jurassic World, Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema are moving quickly with their adaptation of the old video game Rampage, and has set their sights on Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for a battle between man and giant monsters.
After nearly 3 years in development, the studio is punching in on the script is by Ryan Engle (Non-Stop), with New Line working to fill the open director slot for a 2016 summer production start.
They are keeping the plot under wraps, but the game involves three giant monsters – a gorilla (George), a lizard (Lizzie) and a wolf (Ralph) – that wreak havoc on major cities and landmarks across North America.
The plan is for Johnson to star in Rampage after he completes production on Fast & Furious 8. This would also mean that the Big Trouble In Little China remake is further off than it appears…
