50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2018 - Ranked
29. Rampage
The busiest man in Hollywood - Dwayne The Rock Johnson - has a typically busy year for movies once more, with two disaster actioners in the space of a couple of months. Skyscraper looks reasonable enough (like a Die Hard meets The Towering Inferno sort of deal) but it's his intriguing take on classic video game Rampage that sticks out a little more.
The film sees Johnson reteaming with Brad Peyton to play a primatologist who teams up with other ecologically-focused heroes to protect a mutant giant white ape - George - both from a government task force seeking to destroy him (after an experiment transforms him into a towering pillar of rage) and from two other monstrous creatures fighting him for global domination.
High-intellect this probably isn't, but it sounds like the kind of throw-away, effects- heavy spectacle that always wins in the early summer window. And The Rock's presence should guarantee a strong box office headstart at least.
