New action movie starring Dwayne Johnson coming out this summer.

Here’s the press release from Universal’s website:

Global icon Dwayne Johnson leads the cast of Legendary’s Skyscraper as former FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader and U.S. war veteran Will Sawyer, who now assesses security for skyscrapers. On assignment in China he finds the tallest, safest building in the world suddenly ablaze, and he’s been framed for it. A wanted man on the run, Will must find those responsible, clear his name and somehow rescue his family who is trapped inside the building...above the fire line.

Written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (Central Intelligence, We’re the Millers), the 3D action-thriller is produced by Beau Flynn (San Andreas, Baywatch), Johnson, Thurber and Hiram Garcia (San Andreas, Central Intelligence).

Skyscraper’s executive producers are Dany Garcia (Baywatch, Ballers), Wendy Jacobson (San Andreas), Eric McLeod (Kong: Skull Island, Pirates of the Caribbean series) and Eric Hedayat (The Great Wall, Real Steel). The film will be released by Universal Pictures.

This seems like an excellent movie to eat popcorn to and to turn your brain off.

...if I pointed out that accepting gifts from a company you're inspecting is blatant corruption, I'd be taking the premise more seriously than it deserves, wouldn't I?

All I really know of this is that there's a ton of different Twitter posts joking about him missing the jump in that poster.

I'm only going off what I've seen in the trailer, but rather than accepting gifts, isn't it more akin to employer-subsidized housing? Like, yeah, accepting gifts is looked down upon when you're an independent third party or whatever, but in this case he seems more like he's employed as a consultant/security advisor?

Very Die Hard-esque. Looks interesting.
