According to THR, New Line Cinema is working on a sequel to San Andreas, with Dwayne Johnson set to return as the star. Niel Widener and Gavin James will write the script. Carla Gugino, Alexandra Daddario and Paul Giamatti are expected to return, along with director Brad Peyton and producer Beau Flynn. The sequel will switch locations to the Pacific Ocean, which is home to the “Ring of Fire”, an area of fault lines and volcanoes, which is home to 90% of the world’s earthquakes.
Johnson’s company Seven Bucks Productions will produce, as will Peyton. Richard Brener, Michael Disco and Samuel J. Brown will oversee for New Line while Wendy Jacobson will oversee for Flynn Picture Company.
