Luckily, Brad and I were talking about the music extremely early, even before he started location scouting.”īoth Lockington and Peyton had high praise for Jason Liles, the performance-capture actor who plays George in the film. “ Rampage was a unique challenge in that it had a hero, a female lead, three monsters, corporate villains, a cowboy government agent and a vigilante group headed by Manganiello that’s reminiscent of Black Water,” says Lockington. Lockington’s copy of the film’s screenplay has numerous notes in the margins, showing how he starts crafting the musical landscape as he reads. “There are very few reshoots, if any, on Brad Peyton films.” Brad treats his director’s cut as if it’s going to be shown in theaters,” says Lockington, who worked with Peyton on Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and San Andreas. When I played it for the producers, they didn’t even register that it was a choir.”įor Rampage, Lockington reveals that the initial cut of the film is incredibly close to Peyton’s final cut. I literally took one second of the choir and stretched it for two minutes, and that’s how you get that space sound. “When you stretch out those textures and run them through modular synths, remodulators and a unison carrier wave, it creates this incredible sound. I recorded with them and we got several great textures,” says Lockington. “The choir performs for six months and then their education is paid for, which is an amazing setup. To achieve the sound of outer space for the opening sequence, Lockington relied on children from The African Children’s Choir, an organization started in Uganda for young children, some of whom have lost their parents. The film opens in a space station, where scientists have been experimenting with the mutagen. Kate Caldwell ( Naomie Harris) to cure George and stop him and a giant wolf and crocodile from destroying all of Chicago. Davis must team up with a Homeland Security agent (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Dr. George and Davis communicate through sign language, but that ceases when George’s mind is clouded with aggression after he accidentally inhales a mutation-inducing gas that makes him grow to an enormous size. Rampage, from director Brad Peyton, centers on primatologist Davis Okoye (Dwayne Johnson), who runs a wildlife reserve for animals that were orphaned by poachers. It really provided for some great sounds,” he says. “Ultimately, the humming wasn’t that interesting, but during the recording session one of the zookeepers said, ‘Well, they’re nothing like the howler monkeys of Costa Rica.’ I thought, ‘Oh, that’s interesting.’ Next thing you know, I’m flying down to Costa Rica to record the howler monkeys and run them through modular synths. Rampage premieres in theaters on May 20, 2018.Vin Diesel on Bringing Back Those Stars for 'Fast X': "Both of Them Clearly Make People Happy" ![]() Will George and Davis be reunited so that their love story can continue? Will George be returned to his original size? Or will Davis take George and George’s new animal friends back home and teach them that chew toys are much more fun to play with than skyscrapers? The game was a simple affair, whereas this movie wants to turn a basic arcade game into a thrilling, 2-hour action movie with giant mutated CGI animals. Rampage is, uh, obviously taking some liberties with the original video game. Much like the classic video game of the same name that Rampage is based on, George will be joined by his two new best friends, an apocalyptic-looking “30-foot wolf” and a “giant crocodile” with teeth as long as semi trucks, also supposed victims of genetic editing. Davis, terrified about “what’s happening to my friend,” takes on the responsibility of putting George down when his growth rate accelerates and George escapes to terrorize Chicago. The new trailer, which premiered Thursday, shows that George becomes victim to a supposedly accidental “genetic editing” test in the form of some weird, rocket-fueled green gas. His best friend in the world is George, an albino gorilla he rescued as a 2-year-old and who’s now full-grown. Not only does Rampage premiere in theaters on May 20 (4/20), but Johnson, perhaps in his most relatable role of all time, will portray Davis Okoye, a man who likes animals way more than people. There’s no way you aren’t hyped about this movie. ![]() ![]() What would you do to save your true love, an albino gorilla-turned-monster named George? The first official trailer for Rampage, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, and Naomie Harris, is just as gloriously ridiculous as you want it to be. ![]()
