Director Gives Insight Into Process Of Creating Rampage Movie


Last year, Brad Peyton and Dwayne Johnson teamed up to bring us San Andreas, AKA every disaster movie ever. And while that’s still getting a sequel – the earthquakes are really mad this time? – the two are also going to bring us a Rampage movie. You remember Rampage, right? You picked one of three monsters and destroyed buildings and ate people. It was lots of fun back in the day. Well, We Got This Covered recently asked him about bringing that sort of video game to the big screen, and this is what he said: I think it’s interesting that he thinks not experiencing the source material makes for a better movie, and also that he thinks San Andreas was able to “surprise people.” I’m really excited about Rampage. It’s a monster film, so the stuff that I did on Incarnate, stretching my muscles in the horror space helped. This “small, character piece” with horror in it trained me to get ready for [Rampage]. Obviously, it’s a much bigger movie and it’s meant for a broader audience, but there still horror elements, there’s still a monster movie at the core. And I get to work with Dwayne [Johnson] again, I’m so excited about it. Peyton’s next film, Incarnate, hits American cinemas this weekend, while the next video game adaptation, Assassin’s Creed, opens in late December. Source: We Got This Covered
