For the first time in the history of it, Hollywood has actually gotten it right. They’re going to make a Rampage movie! As well they should. Seriously? Rampage? A movie? Get out of here. How haven’t they already? They must have to pee so bad, basically, but instead of pee I mean make a Rampage movie. There is one thing I am still confused about, though. From the Hollywood Reporter:
New Line Cinema has put into development an adaptation of the classic 1980s video game featuring apes and monsters destroying cities.
John Rickard, who has acted as a co-producer on a wide range of New Line movies from A Nightmare on Elm Street and Final Destination to Horrible Bosses and next year’s tentpole Jack the Giant Killer, will produce and is meeting with writers to develop a story for the project.
Develop what story for the project? There’s not going to be a story for the project. Don’t fuck this up, Hollywood. There’s no story in Rampage, that’s the whole point. The creatures come in and the RUIN ALL OF IT. The End. They punch buildings in the face and they eat the crying businessman. Sometimes, I guess, they get electrocuted or they fall onto a taxi if you need some kind of arc, but mostly they just punch all of the buildings until the buildings fall down. Next level, please. How are you going to make Real Steel and then insist that Rampage needs a story? Come on. Be realistic.

Someone call Roland Emmerich!
“A movie based on Rampage? Great idea.” – Japan
Is there a larger metaphor going on here about how Hollywood just comes in and destroys everything and that’s it? Is this a subconscious move on their part? Just me?
It’s a movie that’s a metaphor for the destructive nature of Hollywood, based on a video game that’s based on movies that are metaphors about the dangers of the nuclear age. In other words…USA! USA! USA!
mind blown
Laugh all you want, but when my Marble Madness reboot gets greenlit, you’ll be sorry. You’ll ALL be sorry!
I would watch that.
At first I thought oh my this is something that can’t fail but then I looked at john rickard’s imdb page:
X-Men: The Last Stand (assistant: Brett Ratner)
2005 Santa’s Slay (assistant: Mr. Ratner)
2005 Prison Break (TV series) (assistant: Mr. Ratner – 1 episode)
– Pilot (2005) (assistant: Mr. Ratner)
2004 After the Sunset (assistant: Mr. Ratner)
2004 The Stepford Wives (assistant: Mr. Rudin – uncredited)
So you’re saying you think this is going to be too good? A daring statement, djfreshie.
I was mostly just pointing out that not only is his film history suspect but is made up almost entirely of being Brett Ratner’s assistant.
Now if his resume had included 50% more McG assisting…
Prison Break was legitimately entertaining for the first season.
I have no defense for any of the rest of that.
Everytime someone mentions Prison Break I immediately think of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM7DeaVwJPc"Prison Prison Break and that makes me happy, so thank you FT.
“What an amazing hyperlink!” – Assistant (to the) Brett Ratner
Looking at John Richard’s IMDb page is for fags.
Sorry, Rickard. And sorry, used the wrong account. I’ll see myself out.

I’m starting to think Hollywood is starting to think large-scale. Of COURSE there needs to be a Rampage movie. AND a Lego movie. That’ll set audiences up for the inevitable Rampage/Lego crossover. And I defy any of you to tell me that you wouldn’t watch the hell out of that.
I’d like someone to set up a Lego city that I can play Rampage in.
I once wrote to McFarlane toys, explaining that I was in the army and going to Iraq and I wanted to know if it would be possible to have an action figure made of myself to give to my son before I go. The cold-hearted bastards refused! And they didn’t even know that I was making that whole thing up and just wanted to use it to destroy Lego towns!
Qbert The Movie would be EPIC.
Gauntlet: The Movie. Ushers keep coming by and you have to give them money or else they kick you out.

“720: Skate or Die!” is the story set in the not too distant future of an oppressive society where all must compete in X-Games based gladiator contests. The winners receive fame and luxury beyond the wildest dreams. The losers are rarely seen again. And the penalty for not competing? Death! Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and starring Ryan Sheckler, Elle Fanning, and Tony Hawk as “The Mentor.”
I would like to see a movie based on scrabble imho
All the monsters are played by Andy Serkis. It’ll be awesome.
Can Rampage the movie actually just be 120 minutes of Louis CK and Donald Glover playing Rampage the video game?
It really feels like lately all of Hollywood’s ideas are coming from people digging through boxes in the basements of their childhood homes. Oh, shit, there’s my old Pound Puppy. Hey, I’ve got an idea; call Universal and tell them I’ve got a pitch.
Still waiting for an announcement on Dino-Riders.
you can add M.A.S.K. to the list of announcements i’m waiting for.
I’m glad I’m not old enough to be familiar with this videogame because this seems sad.
it was sooo fun and super cutting edge at the time. but yeah, now it seems sad.
But Battleship is still going to be good, right? Taylor Kitsch and Rhianna? Please.
