'San Andreas': Producer Hiram Garcia Talks About Potential Sequel Following Dwayne Johnson's Interview
Producer Hiram Garcia has opened up about the potential sequel of "San Andreas," which was recently teased by the actor Dwayne Johnson in an interview, reported ScreenRant.
Garcia, president of production at Seven Bucks Production, which was founded by Johnson, noted they have ideas about the sequel. He also disclosed that the team is already "working on something" to move to story forward from where it ended in the first installment.
The first movie, which came out in 2015, revolves around a rescue pilot who teams up with his estranged wife to save their daughter after a massive earthquake. Apart from Johnson, the film also stars Alexandra Daddario, Carla Gugino, Ioan Gruffudd and Art Parkinson.
"Disaster movies are so much fun, and that was such a great concept," Garcia further noted during the interview with ScreenRant.
He went on to share that film producer Beau Flynn came up with the idea of this giant earthquake in the first installment, adding that the studios "always wanted a sequel to that."
However, the producer admitted that the next installment needs to be bigger compared to the first one.
"So we've been working hard to figure out how we could crack something in that space," he said. "But we'd love to be able to continue telling the story in that world. And I agree with you, there's something to just the big cataclysmic."
"No one wants to destroy the world more but we'd like to try and take a couple little pieces of it and see what we can blow up as well," he concluded the interview.
Garcia's comments on the sequel came after Johnson admitted that he has a "great idea" for the sequel. Earlier this month, the actor appeared on SiriusXM and revealed that the "challenge" they are currently facing has a lot do to with "scheduling."
Besides "San Andreas 2," the actor will also be seen in "The King," "Doc Savage" and "Big Trouble in Little China."
Meanwhile, Johnson's highly anticipated superhero movie, "Black Adam," is slated for release on July 29, 2022. It is currently under post-production.
