The Rock’s next project is the Disney animated film Moana.
Moana is a Disney animation all about a young navigator (voiced by Auli’i Cravalho), who sets sails in search of a fabled island. Dwayne Johnson portrays the legendary demi-god Maui, who joins Moana on her adventure. Ron Clements and John Musker directed this one, which reaches UK shores (arf again!) in December 2016.
Then comes Rampage.
Set to shoot later this year, Rampage is the film adaptation of the classic 1986 arcade game of the same name (if you’re unfamiliar, it’s basically about monsters who trample cities while armed forces attempt to stop them. At the moment, it’s unclear if Dwayne Johnson is playing a man or a mutated beast).
When San Andreas made $473 million worldwide, they figured why not make San Andreas 2.
Dwayne Johnson is reteaming with director Brad Peyton and the producer Beau Flynn for a second San Andreas movie. Most of the supporting cast are believed to be returning too, but scriptwriter Carlton Cuse will not. This time, the screenplay will come from Neil Widener and Gavin James
If you’re not tired of seeing The Rock in comedy-action movies, then neither is he.
The as-yet-unnamed film been described by Deadline as “something of a throwback to those mismatched buddy action comedies like Lethal Weapon, Midnight Run and 48 Hours.” With a studio and a full creative team lined up, it seems like a sure thing despite not having a title yet.
John Carpenter’s 1986 gem Big Trouble In Little China is being remade, with The Rock at centre stage and some superhero scriptwriters involved behind the scenes (Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz of Thor and X-Men: First Class are penning the screenplay). Dwayne Johnson is also producing this one, which has backing from 20th Century Fox.
