Exclusive Interview – Rampage director Brad Peyton on adapting the video game, and sequel possibilities

April 12, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Director Brad Peyton and star Dwayne Johnson’s latest collaboration Rampage smashes its way into UK cinemas today, and ahead of its release, Flickering Myth’s Thomas Harris caught up with the filmmaker to discuss his adaptation of the classic arcade game, employing motion capture technology, and whether he’s interested in a sequel. Watch the interview below, or check it out over on our YouTube channel…

“Primatologist Davis Okoye (Johnson), a man who keeps people at a distance, shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry transforms this gentle ape into a raging monster. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered alpha predators. As these newly created monsters tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.”

Rampage sees director Brad Peyton reteaming with his San Andreas star Dwayne Johnson and features a cast that also includes Naomie Harris, Joe Manganiello, Malin Akerman, Marley Shelton, Jake Lacy, Breanne Hill, P.J. Byrne, Jack Quaid, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Matt Gerald.
