John Cena In Talks To Star As Duke Nukem

Paramount Pictures is gearing up for a video game to film adaption of Duke Nukem. Last year during the E3 Convention Gearbox Studios CEO Randy Pitchford revealed that the adaption was in the works and that they were looking for a studio. Paramount snagged the film and are now searching for both a writer and a director.

In the games, Duke is on a mission to fight aliens to protect Earth. Duke Nukem, developed by Apogee Software, was first released in 1991 for PC gamers and has spawned 18 games released on multiple platforms.

Dwayne Johnson Gives Character Details For Adaption Of RAMPAGE

We first reported that a film adaption of the video game Rampage a while back, since we’ve told you that Walking Dead star Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Malin Akerman, has joined that cast alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Naomi Harris, Joe Manganiello, Marley Shelton, Jake Lacey, Jack Quaid, Marley Shelton, Matt Gerald, and Breanne Hill. Over the weekend, Johnson gave fans details about his character via his Instagram account, basically confirming the plot leaked online last week. I head up an anti poaching unit out of Rwanda. My best friend is a rare albino gorilla named, George. Very bad people infect George, an alligator and a wolf with a serum. All three animals grow at an unprecedented rate.

Walking Dead Actor Joins The Cast Of Rampage

The film adaption of the 1986 Midway video game Rampage already has an impressive cast that includes Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Naomi Harris, Malin Akerman, Joe Manganiello, Marley Shelton, Jake Lacey, Jack Quaid, Marley Shelton, Matt Gerald, and Breanne Hill. Today, we have news (via Deadline) that the latest addition to the all-star lineup is none other than Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Morgan is set to play the role of Agent Russell, who works for the OGA, a covert government agency. The character is said to have serious swagger and an attitude to match. That sounds a lot like Negan, the sadistic character he currently plays on the mega hit series The Walking Dead. Brad Peyton (Incarnate, San Andreas) is in the director’s chair for the adaptation written by Ryan Engle, Carlton Cuse, and Adam Sztykiel. At the moment the plot is still being kept under wraps, but if the story follows the game’s plot, Revenge will feature monsters who attack
