Carla Gugino Joining Dwayne Johnson In ‘San Andreas’


Carla Gugino, has been cast as the female lead, opposite of Dwayne Johnson, in the upcoming action-packed earthquake movie, San Andreas.

According to The Wrap, Carla Gugino’s character will be the ex-wife of Dwayne Johnson’s character – a special-operations firefighter. The plot involves “The Big One” hitting California. Afterwards, both Dwayne and Carla’s characters must make a treacherous trip, from Los Angeles to San Francisco, to rescue their daughter.

Brad Peyton is set to direct the film, which is being produced by Beau Flynn and co-financier, Village Roadshow.

Prior to this film, Carla Gugino starred in many well-known television shows and movies. Carla’s credits include Night at the Museum, Watchmen, and Sucker Punch. Probably Carla’s most well-known roles are in Spy Kids, and Sin City, in which Carla went topless for the first time in her career to the delight of plenty of young men. Carla’s television credits include Entourage, Californication, and Political Animals.

However, Carla Gugino has two upcoming projects she’ll be working on. First, Carla returns to the television screen in Wayward Pines, as shown on The Hollywood Reporter. The show is created by Chad Hodge, who is also executive producer alongside M. Night Shyamalan. It will be a miniseries, consisting of ten episodes, and will be produced by FX Productions. It is based off the novel, Pines, by Blake Crouch, and also stars Matt Dillon as a secret service agent investigating disappearances in a small Idaho town.

The second project Carla Gugino will be in, is an independent film, by Stephen Belber, titled Match. Carla will be seen alongside Matthew Lillard and Patrick Stewart, in this movie adaptation of the 2004 Broadway play. The plot centers around Tobi, an aging dancer, choreographer, and teacher, who enjoys knitting. His quiet life is interuptted when Mike and Lisa enter his home under the pretense of interviewing him for Lisa’s thesis. The roles of the movie have not been detailed, but knowing the play only has two primary male roles and one female role, it is probably safe to say Carla will be cast as Lisa, a role originated by Jane Adams.

San Andreas is scheduled for a June 5, 2015 release, as stated presently on the Internet Movie Database. Alexandra Daddario will also be in the film, but her role is yet unknown.
