Does anyone remember Rampage? It was originally an arcade game about...well, rampaging. Players took control of a giant monster - either a gorilla, a lizard, or a wolf - and proceeded to tear down buildings for points. It was mindless fun, and was a great game to play with friends...but it's been a long time since the series was what most people would call 'relevant.'
Of course, that doesn't mean that Hollywood can't step in and make a movie about it!
To be fair, Rampage lends itself relatively well to popcorn cinema: considering the success of Pacific Rim and Godzilla, there's clearly a market for giant monster fights and tons of destruction - but if New Line Cinema is going to resurrect a long-dormant cult classic arcade game, they'll need someone with serious star-power to pull in more casual movie-goers.
Good news: New Line Cinema has their man...and it's none other than Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.
