SAN ANDREAS: 3D Has A New Writer Quilling The Quake

Carlton Cuse

Writer Carlton Cuse (LOST, BATES MOTEL) has been signed on to write SAN ANDREAS: 3D for New Line.

Also attached to the earthquake thriller are director Brad Peyton (JOURNEY 2: THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND) and producer Beau Flynn (HANSEL AND GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS) who is also teeing up a third JOURNEY installment.

From Variety:
"Story takes place when a massive quake strikes California and centers on one man who must make the treacherous journey across the state to rescue his estranged daughter."

What I want to see is a realistic earthquake movie that truly shows what would happen during "the big one". Not the outrageous outcome of Emmerich's 2012, but something that I can suspend my disbelief and get drawn into, especially in 3D. It can be done. If you'll remember 1974's EARTHQUAKE, the scariest thing for me as a child was when those people were swept down in the dark sewer system and not all the buildings collapsing. If you humanize it, people will get it.

SAN ANDREAS: 3D Being Developed

Remember those cool end of the world shots of LA and Las Vegas in Emmerich's 2012? Prepare for more!

New Line is developing the project entitled SAN ANDREAS: 3D along with producer Beau Flynn (JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH, RED DAWN). Allan Loeb (WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS) penned the script.

Currently there is no director attached and the search is underway. More info when I get it!
