(In an act of both foreshadowing and hubris, the latter is currently building San Francisco’s tallest skyscraper.) Ray’s also got a bit of the “Taken” about him, since he’s got a nubile-but-resourceful teen daughter (Blake, played by Alexandra Daddario) and an estranged wife ( Carla Gugino as Emma) with a rich and untrustworthy new boyfriend ( Ioan Gruffudd).
See Video: Dwayne Johnson Watches California Crumble in New 'San Andreas' Trailer (Video) Lawrence Hayes, allowing him to be the actor who’s too good for this kind of film, saddled with pages of science-heavy exposition. The film’s characters mostly fall into tropes that disaster fans will find familiar: Ray Gaines ( Dwayne Johnson), a helicopter pilot with the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Search and Rescue team, is your basic Charlton Heston alpha-male-in-charge when disaster strikes, while Paul Giamatti plays Dr. While the new film doesn’t quite reach the level of the 1970s Irwin Allen disasters to which it aspires, it does give you an idea of what Allen might have wrought if he’d had a 21st century CGI paintbox at his disposal. This also isn’t a Microsoft game, but the idea of Dwayne Johnson playing a live-action version of Wario in the, otherwise entirely animated, Mario movie is extremely funny.The debris rains down on the just and the unjust alike in “San Andreas,” another movie designed to sate our apparent collective desire to watch Los Angeles crumble into the sea. What is more The Rock in 2022 than going back to his most notorious flop to try to prove he can fix it? It even fits the Microsoft requirement, thanks to the company’s acquisition of Bethesda. Back in his early movie career, just after leaving the WWE (the first time), Johnson was in a few poorly received movies, with Doom being the highest profile and most joked about. The Rock may be a nigh untouchable A-lister now, but that wasn’t always true. On the other hand, it’s not totally clear why Epic would want to make a Fortnite movie when all the movies are desperate to be in Fortnite. After all, The Rock is already in Fortnite, so the idea that he’s making a movie based on the game isn’t much of a leap.
No, Fortnite is not owned by Microsoft, but it is one of the easiest answers here. Ideally, the Piñatas here would look exactly as detailed as the animals from Disney’s 2019 The Lion King remake and Dwayne Johnson would be the farmer who takes care of them. (And this isn’t even counting Johnson’s roles in the Jumanji remakes where he’s technically a video game character.) With such a checkered past, there’s not a lot of reasons to be optimistic about Johnson’s new video game project, but here are our worst guesses: Viva Piñata More recently, The Rock starred in Rampage, which was loosely based on the arcade game and was somehow much worse than Doom. That honor goes to Doom, the incredibly misbegotten shooter adaptation from 2005. Whatever the movie, it won’t be Johnson’s first foray into video games on film.
Of course we’re going to do right by our gamer friends-but really we’re just going to make a great movie.” I’m really excited to bring it to fans around the world. “We’re going to bring one of the biggest, most badass games to the screen-one that I’ve played for years. “I can’t tell you which game in particular we’re doing, but there will be an announcement this year,” Johnson told Men’s Journal. While the first option that springs to mind might be Gears of War, Johnson only offered a few hints in his interview answer. The Men’s Journal interview specifically mentions that Johnson has worked with Microsoft and Xbox in the past, which seems like a very pointed question unless that’s who he’s teaming up with next. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is getting ready to star in another video game movie, according to a recent interview with Men’s Journal about his upcoming superhero movie Black Adam.
