COLLIDER: "There are a lot of bad movies that are based on video games. So what’s the secret of making a good movie adaptation of a video game?"

DWAYNE JOHNSON: "Great question. I’m not quite sure what the secret is. I can tell you what we wanted to do was we wanted to collectively get together and put together the best team possible to execute on the script, and that means bringing in all the great department heads. We had a great studio who does this very well, we’ve got a team in Brad Peyton. Yes, we’ve done "San Andreas." Before "San Andreas," we’ve done ["Journey 2"]. That’s when I found how talented Brad was. At that time, we were using James Cameron’s new cameras right off of "Avatar," it’s pretty cool, and how Brad was able to execute that."
