The last time Carla Gugino and Dwayne Johnson teamed up on screen, we got the updated Race To Witch Mountain, a decent Disney family adventure. They’ll be hoping to repeat the trick with San Andreas, as Gugino is now joining Johnson in the earthquake thriller{
From the sounds of things they won’t be quite as simpatico, character-wise, at least to begin with, since Gugino is set to play Johnson’s ex-wife. He’s a special ops fire fighter, who is figuring out his life in Los Angeles when a huge quake hits, devastating chunks of California. With a treacherous journey ahead, Johnson and Gugino must reach their daughter (Alexandra Daddario) in San Francisco. Will it bring them closer together along the way? The smart money says yes.
Journey 2: The Mysterious Island director Brad Peyton is set to direct the film in Australia this summer, working from a script that was most recently polished by Conjuring duo Chad and Carey Hayes. All being well, the film should be in cinemas next June. Wonder if Warners/New Line will premiere the film in an all-D-Box screen, and then wonder why the floor is covered in popcorn afterwards…
