'Rampage' Movie Wants Malin Akerman On Board

Malin Akerman may unleash a hoard of skyscraping monsters in Rampage, the New Line video game movie hailing from San Andreas dream team Brad Peyton and Dwayne Johnson.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Negotiations between actress and studio are ongoing but we understand New Line is courting Akerman for the movie’s power-mongering villainess, a “calculating head of a tech company that is behind the monsters. Those creatures are the grossly mutated results of a lab experiment gone awry, and when the fate of the world hangs in the balance, Dwayne Johnson’s musclebound zoologist steps in to rectify the situation with the help of an all-star cast.

Assuming Malin Akerman closes a deal to join Rampage, she’ll cap off an ensemble comprised of Naomie Harris, Joe Manganiello, Marley Shelton, Jake Lacy, P.J. Byrne and Breanne Hill, Jack Quaid and Matt Gerald who recently came on board.
