I’m STILL waiting for the movie versions of Jenga and Monopoly guys.

But really, it would appear that the classic 80’s Midway Arcade game Rampage is getting the big screen treatment, and The Rock will star.  We’re assuming he’ll be trying to STOP the destruction caused by George the giant Ape, Lizzy the Godzilla like giant lizard, and Ralph the werewolf who do their best to destroy major cities in the original game.

Ryan Engle (Non-Stop) is penning the script, and New Line is working to fill the open director’s chair.  Production isn’t set to start until someone in 2016, so the possibility for the project to come crashing down, and/or change.  Not to mention, Dwayne is set to be starring in the remake of the classic Big Trouble In Little China.

One thought on ““Rampage”: Arcade Game Gets Movie and The Rock”

  1. I am delighted to learn that the ROCK is now involved in the Ryan Engle RAMPAGE film project! Dwayne’s involvement can only improve the chances of the film actually getting produced & released!

    (I was part of the original RAMPAGE arcade game design team over thirty years ago, so needless to say I’ve always felt that it would make a terrific comedy/action/adventure film.)
