Filming on "Rampage" has been underway since last week in Atlanta. While little is known about the upcoming film adaptation of the classic arcade game, lead actor Dwayne Johnson a.k.a. The Rock has finally taken to Instagram to offer some details about the flick.
"Goin' primal," so Johnson began in his post accompanied by a workout photo of him. "Good to finally have boots on the ground here in Georgia for production of #RAMPAGE." He continued in the post, "I head up an anti poaching unit out of Rwanda. My best friend is a rare albino gorilla named, George."
"Very bad people infect George, an alligator and a wolf with a serum," the 44-year-old muscled actor revealed. "All three animals grow at an unprecedented rate. Their size, speed, agility and violent aggression is off the charts. They go on a deadly rampage and want to destroy the world."
"George not happy. Me not happy. When animals like you, they lick you. When they don't like you, they kill you," he continued dishing on the plot points. "I will hunt down the bad people who did this to my best friend. And when I find them, I will not lick them."
"We have the best VFX monster making team (WETA) on the planet," the pro wrestler-turned-actor added. "Our actors and crew have been working very hard to raise the monster genre bar. As always, let's have some fun. Let's shoot."
In "Rampage", Johnson will star alongside Naomie Harris, Joe Manganiello and Jeffrey Dean Morgan of "The Walking Dead". Malin Akerman joins the cast as the villain who infects the gorilla, alligator and wolf with the serum that will cause rapid growth and induced rage.
Directed by Brad Peyton, the monster movie is set to be released in theaters across the nation on April 20, 2018.
