It’s official. With three disaster movies in two years (San Andreas and the upcoming Rampage and Skyscraper), I think we’re seeing the dawn of a new disaster-movie star: Dwayne Johnson. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Seriously, if you hear anything bad about him, don’t tell me. Don’t shatter my illusions, please.
Ahem. Back in Trailer World, we’ve now gotten the second promo for Rampage, Johnson’s film set to come out on April 20. Dope, eh? (Sorry—I’ll show myself out.) It’s the latest in a long, long line of movies based on videogames (starting perhaps with 1993’s Super Mario Bros.), but this one has a twist: The movie has the *opposite* goal of the game. In Rampage, the game, the goal is to use the monsters to destroy all the cities. In Rampage, the movie, The Rock’s character must work with a discredited genetic engineer (of course) to save both his mutated gorilla friend and the world at large. I’m pretty sure that if DJ is in it, things will end well for everybody. Smiles all around.
