The Rock’s 3D Earthquake Film ‘San Andreas’ Lands In Summer 2015
Yet another massive movie has joined the packed slate of Summer 2015. This one, however, isn’t a sequel or a franchise film. It isn’t even based on a prior property. It’s an old school, original high concept Hollywood pitch starring the most in-demand action star of the decade. Like summer movies used to be.
Dwayne Johnson’supcoming film,San Andreas, a 3D action film about a major earthquake in California is now set for release June 08, 2025.Brad Peyton(Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, which Johnson also starred in) is directing from a script byCareyandChad Hayes.ERC Box Officebroke the news of the release date, which placesSan Andreason the same weekend as the animated filmB.O.O.: Bureau of Otherworldly Operationsand one week beforeJurassic World. In the realm of 2015, that isn’t half bad.
When news broke about the film, Angie described the plot as follows:
The plot centers on a massive earthquake which hits California. Johnson will play a man who must travel across the state during the disaster to rescue his estranged daughter. The property is seen as having franchise potential. Does that mean New Line plans to unleash a whole series of earthquakes on the West Coast, or will they mix it up with other kinds of natural catastrophes?
A man traveling the world dealing with various, effects laden natural disasters actually sounds pretty cool. And who better than Johnson to attempt to launch a new action franchise? For more on the history of the project,read our previous piece.
Do you thinkSan Andreashas a shot at being a hit in the ultra packed summer of 2015?
