After the success of The Fate of the Furious, headed by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, it’s hard to think that this video game adaptation will fail. Rampage, which will star Johnson as one of many humans who will battle not one, but three giant moonsters, has officially entered production.

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 Kong: Skull Island and Jurassic World, Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema moved quickly with their adaptation of the old video game Rampage
The film is on track for an April 20, 2018, release and has an ensemble cast that includes Moonlight‘s Naomie Harris, “The Walking Dead‘s” Jeffrey Dean Morgan, The Final Girls‘s Malin Akerman, as well as Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”), Jake Lacy (“Girls”), Marley Shelton, PJ Byrne (Final Destination 5), Jack Quaid (Tragedy Girls), Matt Gerald (Bright) and Breanne Hill (San Andreas).
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.
