I’m super pleased with how the movie came out. So they did a bunch of things during the making of the movie, I think in many ways all for the better. Honestly, after I wrote my final pass on this movie, I left to go back to work on my TV series and Brad Peyton and the production team went off and the made the movie, and I was not involved at all in the production of the movie. It’s really interesting for me because, coming from television and as a showrunner, showrunners and televisions are like directors in movies. I’m sure that’s true at the script stage, but once you got into the production, was there any moment that they told you, “ Yeah… no, we’ve got to cut out this whole subplot?” The idea that anything goes was a big part of the allure of this project. I mean, I will say that coming out of television there’s always that little voice in your brain which is saying, “That’s too much, that’s too much, we can’t do that, we can’t pull that off.” So for me, the fact that there were no constraints because this was a huge movie, that was really satisfying. Was there any sour grapes involved? Were you just like, “Haha!” Ĭarlton Cuse: Yeah, we destroy a lot of L.A. Related: ‘San Andreas’ Review: Myopic to a Massive FaultĬraveOnline: You wrecked this.
San Andreas arrives in theaters on May 29, 2015.
We discussed his decision to forego the ensemble cast approach to disaster movies pioneered by Irwin Allen ( The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno), the invention of a new earthquake prediction system in San Andreas, and his own personal history with the Northridge earthquake, a magnitude 6.7 scale disaster which rocked the southland on January 17, 1994. go about their business, completely unaware that Cuse has already written about their total destruction.
It seemed like an appropriate backdrop, watching the innocent citizens of L.A. I spoke to Carlton Cuse on a comfy couch overlooking the Los Angeles skyline from the Marriott Hotel downtown. The new disaster film, directed by Brad Peyton ( Journey 2: The Mysterious Island), stars Dwayne Johnson ( Furious 7), Carla Gugino ( Watchmen) and Alexandra Daddario ( True Detective) as an estranged family who are brought together after a series of calamitous earthquakes strike the west coast. One week after his fellow Lost showrunner Damon Lindelof came to theaters with his new film Tomorrowland, Carlton Cuse is taking a crack at the summer blockbuster season with San Andreas.
