If youâve yet to see any of the trailers, Dwayne Johnson stars as a helicopter rescue pilot who must work together with his ex-wife (Carla Gugino) to save their daughter (Alexandra Daddario) after a massive Earthquake strikes California. The film also stars Archie Panjabi, Ioan Gruffudd, Will Yun Lee, Colton Haynes, and Kylie Minogue. For more on the film, hereâs 18 things to know, 30 images, 8 clips, and all our previous coverage.At the Los Angeles press day, I landed an exclusive video interview with screenwriter Carlton Cuse.
