EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK: #HOBBS #F8
The Rock Will Be At The Wrong Place At The Wrong Time In China-Set Action Thriller, SKYSCRAPER
Actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is keeping himself busier and busier as the days go by. He’s currently onto his reprisal for Fast 8 after wrapping the newly adapted feature iteration of the hit TV show, Baywatch, and he’s got a batch of titles with his name attached, including a remake of Big Trouble In Little China, and the recently-announcent forward movement of a cinematic universe to build from his upcoming role in The Janson Directive.
There’s more in store, but if you think he’s stopping anytime soon, you may want to guess again following developments on Wednesday evening with a mystery action script nearing the end of a bidding war between several studios. On Thursday evening, the news finally broke that the script in question, Skyscraper, which would star Johnson, was acquired by Legendary Pictures to the tune of $3 million dollars. The film’s plot hasn’t been publicly addressed yet but earlier reports indicate that the film will carry similar tones to the John McTiernan action classic, Die Hard, so it’s worth at least assuming this will all unfold in a story set in a really, really tall building given the film’s title.
Rawson Marshall Thurber is the writer and director of the film paring him once more with Johnson following the June 17 release of the new action comedy, Central Intelligence, also starring Kevin Hart. Johnson will produce Skyscraper through his Seven Bucks banner along with FlynnPictureCo.’s Beau Flynn, adding to their syllabus which includes forthcoming game adaption, Rampage, and a sequel to San Andreas.

Don’t even try and stop or slow downbactor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. If the last fifteen to twenty years haven’t proven anything else, they have proven that the former wrestler-turned-actor, action movie star, producer and media magnate is only growing beyond his current feature film prospects.
Dwayne Johnson Announces Details On RAMPAGE
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.
HERCULES Gets A Full Cast
The film will be based on a screenplay by Ryan Condal and Evan Spiliotopoulos, adapted from Radical Studios’ publication of the graphic novel titled “Hercules: The Thracian Wars” by Steve Moore and artist Chris Bolsin.
New International Teaser For G.I. JOE: RETALIATION
What is interesting to me so far is the distinct possibility that Storm Shadow, played by Byung-hun Lee could be siding with the heroes this time around, after his last appearance in the first film. Other than that, I am open to seeing how the film plays out when it hits theaters on its new release date, March 29, 2013, since the pushback of post-production to include 3D conversion, among other reasons.
