Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has revealed the plot for his Rampage movie, revealing some alterations to the original game's setup.
In an Instagram post, the Fate of the Furious star revealed he's in Atlanta to begin production on the film, which is based on the video game of the same name.
Johnson also let slip that the film would focus on his character hunting down the people causing animals transforming into giant versions of themselves, whereas the game largely focused on three playable massive animals who had once been humans.
"I head up an anti poaching unit out of Rwanda," Johnson wrote of his character. "My best friend is a rare albino gorilla named, George. Very bad people infect George, an alligator and a wolf with a serum. 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. I will hunt down the bad people who did this to my best friend."
Johnson's description indicates similar animals will be featured as prominent players in the film. In the original arcade Rampage, players control humans who have become either a giant gorilla, giant lizard, or giant werewolf, smashing into buildings and trying to avoid attacks from the military that will transform them back into humans.
Earlier this year, James Bond actress Naomie Harris was reportedly cast in a starring role for the film, while The Walking Dead's Jeffrey Dean Morgan joined Rampage in a supporting role.
Director Brad Peyton spoke last year about bringing the monsters to life in Rampage, which will be released in theaters on April 20, 2018.
Chris Morgan is the author of The Comic Galaxy of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and the new novel The Ash Heap of History. Wisely or not, he's also on Twitter.
