The Rock Confirms 2016 Shooting Schedule

As noted, Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, revealed via Instagram that he has a very busy filming schedule coming up in 2016, along with an appearance at WrestleMania 32.

The Rock has revealed in a new Instagram post that he will re-team with his “San Andreas” writer and director for his upcoming movie “Rampage”, which will be a remake of the classic video game.

The movie will be written by Carlton Cuse and will be helmed by director Brad Peyton and producer Beau Flynn:

 

EXCLUSIVE: Cool news we just hired Carlton Cuse & Ryan Condal (creators of COLONY) to write our big screen adaptation of RAMPAGE for New Line. Carlton also wrote SAN ANDREAS for us, so he excels at writing big scale with family and heart as the anchor. We have a shot to raise the bar and make something cool with this one as the basic storyline is three mutated gigantic monsters (Silverback, Alligator and Wolf) destroy major cities and landmarks across the US. This summer I’ll spend time at the San Diego Wildlife Preserve as well as with Anti-Poaching Units from Africa for my research. If you were a fan of the video game like I was, then you KNOW how bad ass and fun this movie can be. I’ll try not to screw it up . Shooting begins late this summer. #RAMPAGE * pictured is the RAMPAGE team (same team who brought you SAN ANDREAS) Director Brad Peyton (with the dope fade haircut), producer Beau Flynn (with the Grizzly Adams beard), Carlton Cuse (the constant intellectual with glasses) and some bald tattooed brown man who occasionally smiles.
