Midway’s 80’s arcade game Rampage looks set for the movie treatment with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to star, reports Deadline.
Set to begin production in summer 2016, the plot is under wraps but the game sees a giant gorilla, giant lizard and a giant wolf wreaking havoc across a host of major cities and landmarks across the US. Presumably Johnson will be tasked with saving everyone from the monsters.
Johnson is re-teaming with New Line and producer Beau Flynn for the project, who recently worked together on San Andreas to the successful tune of $415 million in global boxoffice receipts.
A director hasn’t been announced.
Before production on Rampage begins Johnson has to complete his roles in Fast & Furious 8 and Central Intelligence alongside Kevin Hart.
