SAN ANDREAS Star And Director Reunite For RAMPAGE Next Year!

Deadline is bringing word that star of the upcoming action comedy, Central Intelligence, actor Dwayne Johnson will be sustaining his action star-status in the forthcoming production of the live-action game adaptation, Rampage, reteaming once again with director Brad Peyton. The two previously worked on Johnson's latest role in Peyton's new disaster flick, San Andreas, which grossed up to $460 million dollars in theaters, so it appears this latest update is one that clearly makes sense.

Johnson was initially reported as the first addition to the film back in June with Non-Stop scribe Ryan Engle on scripting duties. Nil is currently known about the plot in the public eye, although the gist of it will largely follow Johnson by way of the classic 1986 Midway game as he takes on three giant monsters - a gorilla, a lizard and a werewolf - rampaging the city. Hence, the title, obviously, or however which way you choose to apply that theme to a Dwayne Johnson vehicle. Either way, you already know this one is preparing to be another hit by its slated 2017 release.

Beau Flynn is producing the film under his FlynnPictureCo banner at New Line Cinema with Johnson also backing the film via Seven Bucks Productions. Cameras are expected to roll next summer after Johnson wraps Furious 8 for Universal Pictures.

Come to think of it, now would be a good time for Peyton to consider the prospects of helming the 2019 release of Shazam since Johnson is already attached as the anti-hero, Black Adam. After all, he did get into talking about directing superhero movies just a few months ago, so...why not?

Live Action Game Adap, RAMPAGE, Casts Dwayne Johnson!

Hmk... it hasn't exactly been very long since actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson made headlines with the upcoming remake of Big Trouble In Little China, on top of the latest series premiere of the HBO original series, Ballers. Point in fact, he's also just off of a hugely successful run having starred in director Brad Peyton's disaster flick, San Andreas lending further credence to his starpower, so it's no wonder that Johnson is still one of the most sought after actors today.

Well, leave it to the various trade sources on Tuesday, including Deadline now circulating the news of Johnson's latest attachment to the forthcoming adaptation of the classic 1986 Midway game, Rampage. New Line Cinema is backing the film with producer Beau Flynn and a script by Non-Stop scribe Ryan Engle which sees Johnson taking on three monsters who ramble and pillage major cities - a gorilla, a lizard and a wolf. No director has been cited yet while FlynnPictureCo. and Rickard Pictures are also behind the film's development and subsequent production slatednfor next summer after Johnson finishes filming scenes for Universal's Furious 8.

Johnson is currently filming Rawson Marshall Thurber's upcoming action comedy, Central Intelligence for next June. Stay tuned for more info!

Martial arts action star and actor Scott Adkins can chalk another to his own slate of film appearances between now and next year. With Close Range wrapped, Jarhead: The Siege already underway and Undisputed 4 to begin this June, it's a great time to stay excited for the Brit screenfighter whose career is a list of popular action hits that have played a huge role in maintaining the martial arts fanbase.

For this, we turn to an exclusive report from Variety that states Adkins's forthcoming role in the new film, Eliminators, which begins filming in London possibly this May, reuniting Adkins with filmmaker James Nunn following their work on the 2013 pound-for-pound revenge fight thriller, Green Street 3. The film joins Adkins with Dead Man Down (2013) co-star, professional wrestler and actor stage-named Wade Barrett in a story that will forces a U.S. federal agent out of a witness protection program to get his daughter to safety while taking on Europe's most deadly assassin.

The film is just one of two for which WWE Studios announced its production/financing partnership behind UK-based company Richwater Films, the same studio behind hits such as Vendetta and its upcoming sequel starring Danny Dyer; The other film will be Rampage, which pits an American counterterrorism operative with an English MI5 agent in London to foil a terrorist plot. There's no word yet on who will star while filming is said to begin next year.

This particular update is just one in a bunch of things WWE Studios has its hands in at the moment on top of mananging its own roster, the latest being The Marine 4 from director William Kaufman. Kaufman is currently on location in Bulgaria helming Jarhead: The Siege with Adkins, who is also poised to appear in the long-awaited zombie thriller, Re-Kill, and the Ariel Vromen-directed Criminal this August.
