Rampage

Studios and producers have long since figured out that if you have Dwayne Johnson starring in your film, you also get a lot of social media posting, as The Rock just can't stop rolling footage. So it makes sense to combine a more traditional peek at his latest film, Rampage, with Johnson taking a funny swipe at his own image.

Rampage, which sees director Brad Peyton teaming back up with his San Andreas star, is another disaster movie, this one featuring some very large creatures. The film features Johnson as a primatologist named Davis Okoye, a man who has trouble relating to humans, but has formed an inseparable bond with George, a smart silverback gorilla who he's cared for since rescuing the ape as an orphan.

But when a rogue genetic experiment mutates the gentle giant into a much bigger, raging creature, Davis has to go on the hunt for his pal, and confront similarly altered animals including a wolf and a reptile. It's all adapted from the classic video game of the same name and looks to feature plenty of crazy stunts and CG animal action.

Naomie Harris, Malin Akerman, Jake Lacey and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are also in the cast for the film, which arrives on 13 April.
