[Music] the producer of s Andreas has hinted that they've got some ideas for a sequel curious about what those ideas might be well stick around because we've got all the details on the upcoming San Andreas movie plus after 7 years in development there's been an uncertain update on Dwayne Johnson's San Andreas 2 let's dive into everything we know about the next installment the producer of San Andreas recently hinted that they're brainstorming ideas for a sequel to the 2015 disaster flick if you remember the original movie starred Dwayne The Rock Johnson as a heroic lafd helicopter
rescue pilot trying to save his family from a colossal earthquake that hits California directed by Brad Peyton who also worked with the rock on rampage in 2018 the film also featured Carlo guino Alexander didario ion gruffi Paul Giamatti Archie Punjabi and Kylie manogue San Andreas was a massive hit coming in as the number 16 film worldwide for that year pulling in nearly $500 million on a budget of 110 million even though a sequel was announced back in 2016 with the original cast and crew expected to return there's been radio silence ever since Alexander didario recently
shared that there was even a draft script at one point but she hasn't heard from New Line Cinema about the project in a while apparently the executive who first brought up the sequel has since left the company however there's still some Buzz about a potential follow-up producer hyram Garcia recently talked to Screen Rant and revealed that they're actively working on ideas for a sequel according to Garcia we actually have ideas we're working on something there on how we can continue that story he went on to say that new line and Warner Brothers have always been
keen on making a sequel Garcia mentioned that their goal is to take a different angle on the disaster genre drawing inspiration from the likes of Roland Emerich who's known for his big budget disaster movies like 2012 The Day After Tomorrow Independence Day Godzilla and moonfall Garcia continued disaster movies are so much fun and that was such a great concept our friend Bo Flynn has come up with the idea of doing something based around a giant earthquake in the San Andreas fault new line and Warners have always wanted a sequel to that so we've been working
hard to figure out how we could crack something in that space he Al touched on the influence of Roland emer's approach to disaster movies saying there's something to just a big cataclysmic I feel like Roland Emer is the master of that he's the one who wants to destroy the world but we'd like to try and take a couple of little pieces of it and see what we can blow up as well the news about a San Andrea sequel gets even more intriguing with the Rock's recent comments just last week he revealed that he's got an
idea for San Andreas 2 floating around at his production company seven bucks Productions although he didn't dive into specifics he mentioned that the big hurdle in moving forward with the film has been scheduling conflicts when the sequel was first announced back in 2016 the initial plot idea involved a dramatic eruption of the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean which would have taken the disaster to a whole new level with such a high stake scenario it makes sense that the filmmakers would want to get everything just right scheduling is definitely a major challenge with so
many high-profile actors involved in the Orin and The Rock himself being one of the busiest stars in Hollywood it's no surprise that coordinating a sequel is tricky this year alone The Rock has been involved in several big projects including jungle Crews red notice and the TV series young Rock plus he's got future commitments with major franchises like the dceu's black adom even though he's not currently part of The Fast and Furious franchise juggling a superhero contract and other projects makes it tough to find time for a sequel still the fact that the rock is personally
invested in brainstorming ideas for the film is a positive sign it means there's genuine interest in making San Andreas 2 happen even if it's just a matter of finding the right time to fit it into everyone's busy schedules if they can work out the timing fans of the original disaster flick might finally get the sequel they've been waiting for after almost a decade of development hell San Andreas 2 has received another vague update from Star Paul Giamatti speaking with Josh Horowitz on his happy sad confused podcast Giamatti shared that while he occasionally hears rumors about
the sequel nothing ever seems to materialize he said it's been talked about it's true you're right though and every now and then I hear somebody bring it up and they're like me my agent will be like but you know San Andreas 2o they're talking about that and I'll be like really then nothing nothing happens the first San Andreas movie earned a lukewarm reception with a 49% rating on Rotten Tomatoes despite this the film's box office performance was strong enough to fuel interest in a sequel the initial announcement included Dwayne Johnson returning to his lead role
but by 2021 producer ham Garcia noted that Johnson might not be able to reprise his role due to scheduling conflicts this back and forth has left the status of San Andreas 2 in a state of uncertainty recent updates on the sequel suggest that while it hasn't been completely abandoned it's clearly not a priority for the studio right now with Johnson's potential exit and ongoing development delays the chances of San Andreas 2 actually coming to fruition seem increasingly slim on the collider ladies night podcast Alexander didario also gave an update on San Andreas 2 which has
been on hold for years while promoting her new projects didario mentioned that a draft for the sequel had been written but as far as she knows it's not happening here's what she had to say it was mentioned to me several years ago when I went into new line I don't think that the executive that I was speaking to is there anymore but they had a draft written as far as I know it's not happening it's been a long time I don't think so I think it was in development at one point I should say but
that happens in Hollywood all the time as didario points out it's pretty common for a sequel to get as far as drafting a script and then stall out sometimes these projects can linger for years or even decades before they might be revived as Legacy sequels for San Andreas 2 it seems a draft was completed but didn't spark enough interest from Warner Brothers and new line to move forward the cast quickly moved on to other projects Dwayne Johnson for example starred in Central Intelligence fast INF Furious 8 and Baywatch the latter also featuring didario even if
the sequel fans were hoping for doesn't materialize Johnson has continued to deliver Blockbusters like Disney's Jungle Crews meanwhile didario was keeping busy with Mayfair which is season 2 and the Romantic crime Thriller which offer a mix of drama and comedy that might help fill the Gap left by San Andreas 2 and that wraps up today's video if you want to stay updated on all the latest movie news don't forget to hit that subscribe button and give us a thumbs up by doing so you'll stay in the loop with all our future updates thanks for tuning
