For the longest time, Independence Day and 2012 director Roland Emmerich has been considered as the king of cinematic destruction in Hollywood, knocking down monument after monument on-screen with his own bombastic style. However, there’s one summer blockbuster set to give the filmmaker a run for his money: Brad Peyton’s San Andreas.
Reuniting with his Journey 2: The Mysterious Island star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the disaster pic will see the actor take point as Ray Gaines on a one-man rescue mission to recover his daughter Blake (played by True Detective‘s Alexandra Daddario). From the debut trailer released a couple of months back, the sense of scale is unquestionable, with California rocked by a monumental earthquake appropriately dubbed “The Big One.”
Now, with the film’s May release date fast approaching, Johnson has unveiled a brand new poster for San Andreas, which sees his special ops firefighter drop down into the crumbling chaos.

With The Day After Tomorrow director Roland Emmerich now pursuing (slightly) more serious fare than his usual effects-driven blockbusters, there has been a certain deficiency of big-budget disaster thrillers at the box office lately. And unless you count the found-footage film Into the Storm, this summer won’t offer much for fans of the subgenre. The summer of 2015, however, is a different story. In June of next year, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will star in an epic disaster thriller titled San Andreas, which explores what happens when a colossal, long-dreaded earthquake devastates the West Coast.
In addition to offering plenty of jaw-dropping sequences of destruction and explosive action scenes, San Andreas may also offer some moments of genuine drama, if its strong cast is any indication. Today, Ioan Gruffudd (Fantastic Four) signed on for the film, joining Johnson, Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario, Colton Haynes, Art Parkinson, Archie Panjabi, Morgan Griffin and Todd Williams.
