For his part, Johnson took to Instagram to share a photo of himself getting ready to shoot in Georgia as well as information about the plot. According to his post, he will play the leader of an anti-poaching group who has a pet gorilla named George. One day, George, as well as an alligator and wolf, are exposed to an experimental serum that causes them to grow to gigantic size and go on a – you guessed it – rampage. It’s up to Johnson to track down those responsible for this and stop them before the monsters destroy the world.

Per Superherohype, the source of this story:

Dwayne Johnson and Naomie Harris star in the Rampage, an adaptation of the classic Midway arcade game. The cast also includes Malin Akerman, Joe Manganiello, Jake Lacy, Marley Shelton, PJ Byrne, Jack Quaid, Matt Gerald, Breanne Hill, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

This will mark the third collaboration between Johnson, producer Beau Flynn, director Brad Peyton and New Line, having worked on Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and San Andreas together as well.

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
