Universal Pictures has announced a release release date for Legendary’s Skyscraper, a major action flick led by superstar Dwayne Johnson (Furious 7, San Andreas).
The film, which will reteam Johnson with his Central Intelligence director Rawson Marshall Thurber, will bow on Friday, July 13, 2018.
Johnson posted even more details on his Instagram:
Dwayne Johnson leads the cast of Legendary’s Skyscraper as former FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader and U.S. war veteran Will Ford, who now assesses security for skyscrapers. On assignment in China he finds the tallest, safest building in the world suddenly ablaze, and he’s been framed for it. A wanted man on the run, Will must find those responsible, clear his name and somehow rescue his family who is trapped inside the building…above the fire line.
Written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (Central Intelligence, We’re the Millers), the 3D action-thriller is produced by Beau Flynn (San Andreas, Baywatch), Johnson and Thurber. Skyscraper’s executive producers are Dany Garcia (Baywatch, Ballers) and Hiram Garcia (San Andreas, Central Intelligence). Wendy Jacobson (San Andreas) is co-producer.
Johnson will next be seen reprising Hobbs in Fate of the Furious on April 14, in Baywatch on May 26, in Season 3 of HBO’s Ballerson July 23, and leading the Jumanji reboot on December 22.
