Director Brad Peyton’s (Journey 2: The Mysterious Island) upcoming disaster film, San Andreas, looks totally out of its mind in the most glorious of ways. Rarely do I get excited about these Emmerich-style disaster pics, but this one conjures the right scenario with the right star at the right time and I haven't been this stoked for mass destruction since Independence Day almost 20 years ago.  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. Some of my colleagues aren't looking forward to this as much as me (Matt didn't love the first trailer), but I almost feel like denying yourself this kind of joy is to close yourself off from some of the finer things in life.

Watch the new San Andreas trailer after the jump.  The film also stars Archie PanjabiIoan GruffuddWill Yun LeeColton Haynes, and Kylie Minogue.  San Andreas opens in 3D on May 29, 2015.

Here's the official synopsis:

After the infamous San Andreas Fault finally gives, triggering a magnitude 9 earthquake in California, a search and rescue helicopter pilot (Dwayne Johnson) and his estranged wife make their way together from Los Angeles to San Francisco to save their only daughter.

But their treacherous journey north is only the beginning. And when they think the worst may be over...it’s just getting started.

This poster is relatively tame when it comes to the rest of the shenanigans on display. Hoping for some Struzan-esque action soon. Lean into it!
