After back-to-back-to-back hits in 2013 for Dwayne Johnson (the actor formerly known as the Rock) with G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Pain & Gain, andFast & Furious 6, it is unsurprising to see that he is ready to shake up Tinsletown even more. Who knew though that it would be so far up on the Richter Scale?
WB has announced that San Andreas, a new, original earthquake drama set in the heart California will be shaking up big screens in both 2D and 3D on June 5, 2015. Released under the New Line Cinema Banner, the Brad Peyton directed film will find Johnson at heart of the Big One, which turns California into ruin for this blockbuster white-knuckle trip. Based on a pitch from Jeremy Passmore & Andre Fabrizio, and a final draft by Allan Loeb, the film is expected to be a summer tentpole.
This will mark a second collaboration between Johnson and Peyton, who previously teamed up on Journey 2: The Myseterious Island.
