In the wake of an Oscar nomination, Naomie Harris will battle giant monsters.
THR reports today that Harris, who played Selena in 28 Days Later many years before generating Oscar buzz thanks to an incredible performance in last year’s Moonlight, has signed on for active duty in director Brad Peyton’s Rampage. She will star alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, playing a geneticist with a moral streak against his animal-loving, world-saving hero.
The New Line film is based on the 1986 arcade game from Bally Midway, which allowed players to select either George the Gorilla, Lizze the Lizard, or Ralph the Werewolf and then embark on a mission to destroy city after city. All three creatures will be in the movie and you can expect them to wreak havoc on various North American cities and landmarks.
Ryan Engle wrote the original draft of the adaptation, and Adam Sztykiel most recently came in to do some revisions. Carlton Cuse and Ryan Condal also worked on the script.
Get ready to Rampage on April 20, 2018.
