Baffled at how these things happen. Expecting a Time Pilot or Moon Patrol reveal next.

Although I played the shit out of Rampage on the C64, loved eating all those peeps.

 

[Sojgat]

I bet he's gonna either play Ralph or George, let's say George and after an accident turns the 3 innocent by standers into monsters, George is the only one who retains some sort of human will, while lizzie and Ralph go berzerker, George will have to harness his kaiju form to stop them, while also making a conection with Lizzie (eventually seemingly curing her) while having a climatic fight with Ralph, who went back to whatever made them monsters to recieve a power up and attempts to destroy humanity. In the end, Lizzie gains the ability to control her kaiju form like George and they unite to destroy Ralph and hook up in their human forms.

Mark my words, the plot will be pretty much this because hollywood is predictable like that.

"Dwayne, we want you to play the ape monster in this Rampage movie."

 

[dark_inferno]

I hope it goes to mars and he fights aliens just like the N64 game.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

lol i hope its not a "serious" movie.

 

[TheSlySoul]

The Rock must need some money to star in this. Guess he is going to be military.

 

[mjc]

Thank you Godzilla and Pacific Rim!

 

[JDSN]

You guys, could you imagine if they try to build a cinematic universe out of this?

 

[Pizza]

My body is ready.

Dwane is gonna be the tiny guy in the helicopter that gets swatted out of the air. It's perfect.

And they've got all the good monsters! If they don't call them George lizzie and Ralph I'll be bummed

 

[Z3M0G]

Woah...woah...wait....


..THIS...

...Rampage?

Seriously LOL

Could be amazing! King Kong + Godzilla + ...Wolf...zilla... all in the same film!

Could be shit... but could be amazing!!

Thank you Godzilla and Pacific Rim!

Exactly!!

M.U.L.E., the movie. I'd watch it.

 

[pizzacat]

His San Andreas movie didn't live up to its game what can you expect with this one

 

[retroman]

I have fond memories of Rampage. Controlling a giant monster and destroying buildings while punching helicopters out of the air was a premise my seven-year-old self could really get behind. Man, I was obsessed with that game.

Please don't screw this up.

Spoiler

They're going to screw it up, aren't they?

 

[adj_noun]

This will be the Citizen Kane of giant ape, lizard and wolf moves featuring full frontal nudity.

*shuffles awkwardly away, covering shame*

 

[RowdyReverb]

This was unexpected. I wonder how loosely it is based on Rampage. Like is it just the name and premise of humans turning into giant monsters that smash cities? Because that's pretty much all the source material gives.

 

[Sticky&Sweet]

I hope they throw in the title screen music somewhere.

 

[hydruxo]

Sounds absolutely terrible. I'm in.

 

[Exile20]

Where is my Q*bert movie PIXAR?

 

[retroman]

Wasn't there also supposed to be an Asteroids movie in the works? What happened to that one?

I can't imagine it being more different from the source material than the recent reboot...

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

The Rock Vs Not Godzilla

Sure why not

 

[Raticus79]

Well, that pretty much writes itself. He'll get boosted to giant size to take them on and it'll be awesome.

 

[Megadragon15]

Where is my Q*bert movie PIXAR?

Doesn't Sony own Q-Bert?

 

[Ozone]

I'm into this. Rampage is always fun.

 

[LakeEarth]

I hope they hold true to the ideals and emotions from the source material.

 

[thefro]

This seems like a can't miss as long as it doesn't take itself too seriously.

Make it fun, the Rock cracking jokes left and right, lots of buildings getting smashed.

 

[Ferrio]

I hope they hold true to the ideals and emotions from the source material.

So movie gets boring 5 minutes in?

 

[Overside]

Please tell me he plays George.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Dwayne needs to learn to say no

 

[Beartruck]

God I hope that after they defeat a monster, it shrinks down to a naked human that the rock can then say a cool quip to before he shoots it.

 

[Handy Fake]

Still a better story than Twilight.

 

[Krejlooc]

M.U.L.E., the movie. I'd watch it.

Isn't that called "The Empire Strikes Back"?

 

[anothertech]

New Rampage game, 2016? Oh I hope so!

 

[Lijik]

This is gonna be so cheesy its good or so serious its terrible and either way im in.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Yeah, this is going to happen just like that Spy Hunter movie happened. And that John Woo Metroid movie happened. And that Metal Gear Solid movie happened.

You get the format I'm going with so let me just list off some more names:

God of War.
Asteroids.
Halo.
Bioshock.
Gears of War.
Kane & Lynch.
Uncharted.
Pac-Man.
etc

 

[Tohsaka]

Hopefully we get a new game tie-in that's not garbage.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I just saw this on AMC Movie Talk. Why does Hollywood keep on trying to make movies out of games with no story?

I can't see this being good, despite what John says.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

because Doom turned out so well.

Just do Johnny Bravo. The world is ready.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

You may be right. Shit might not even come out. It looks like Warcraft and Ratchet & Clank are the two hopes right now.

They don't have to worry about staying true to the game's "plot." Remember how David Russell wanted to do an Uncharted movie, but was denied because he wasn't going to stay true to the plot? This is why you get this movies with video game character cameo's or based on games with little to no plot.

It just started production for a 4/20/2018 release.

In our story we have three animals who fall victim to evil genetic editing, rapidly changing every strand of their DNA so they grow, evolve and mutate. Everything becomes amplified.. their size, strength, speed, agility.. and violent aggression.
One of the animals infected - a rare Albino gorilla named, George, is my best friend.

George, is played by 6'9 Jason Liles, pictured here. Jason has been studying gorillas for months now preparing for this motion capture role. Gorillas movements, body language, and all emotions - joy, pain, sadness, love, aggression etc. It's insane when you get around this man and how he's able to embody a gorilla. This is the most fascinating advanced VFX/motion cap process I've ever worked with in my career.

We have the best mo-cap team in the world (WETA Digital) working on our RAMPAGE MONSTERS and you'll get a taste of this new technology in the upcoming WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES as well as James Cameron's AVATARS.
With all the cool advanced technology in our movie, the #1 thing you're gonna experience when you watch it, is FUN.
Because when my best friend, George no happy, then me no happy. And when me no happy.. bad people become our lunch.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I can't imagine how bad the scripts Dwayne actually passes on must be...

I've got some delicious crow for you.

 

[rrs]

I am morbidly interested to see what the film passes off as central Illinois (the first two had Peoria as the first stage) unless it moves the company off to someplace slightly more filmable

 

[Brandwin]

I wish there was an updated version I could play on my PS4. I have no doubt my son would love this game.

 

[Camjo-Z]

The Rock being in this gives me hope that it'll at least be a passable action flick, which is all anyone can really hope for from a Rampage movie anyway.

that release date...

 

[Piston Hyundai]

joke's on you, I'm fucking stoked for a trashy movie based on Rampage

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Well, fuck. Planet of the Apes tech + The Rock + Script playing to the insanity. Could actually be good.

 

[Geno Breaker]

Can't be as bad as Godzilla 2014 :^)

 

[Kart94]

Why does Hollywood think this is a good idea? I guess they are running out of Superheroes to make movies out of, but whatever this will do fine. Transformers and Fast and furious make billions despite both being poor excuses for movies, so there is alot of dumb suckers born every minute that will eat this garbage.

 

[FunkyDealer]

What the.... Rampage?! I thought that property was dead. Hell, I'm in! Was awesome on N64.
