Peyton brings another must-see disaster film!
BackstageOL travels to the world premiere of Rampage to sit down with the film’s director Brad Peyton to talk about monster films, working with Dwayne Johnson and the 90s movie that inspired this film. What is YOUR favorite monster movie of all time?
The film’s synopsis:
Global icon Dwayne Johnson headlines the action adventure “Rampage,” directed by Brad Peyton. Johnson stars as primatologist Davis Okoye, a man who keeps people at a distance but shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, incredibly rare albino silverback gorilla who has been in his care since he rescued the young orphan from poachers. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with discredited geneticist Kate Caldwell (Naomie Harris) to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.
Rampage hits theaters April 13th. Check out the full interview with Peyton below!
