While Hollywood’s preoccupation this week has been high winds, New Line Cinema is preparing for an earthquake. I’m told the studio is out to directors with San Andreas 3-D, a big-budget film hatched by scribes Jeremy Passmore & Andre Fabrizio as a pitch. They’ve written the script and Allan Loeb has done a polish for a north-of-$100 million film that’s ready to go. Beau Flynn is producing. It’s a full-scale disaster picture revolving around a massive earthquake and its devastating effect on California. This is something that hasn’t really been done since the 1974 film Earthquake, which starred Charlton Heston and Ava Gardner. That film boasted of the advantages of “Sensurround” to create a lifelike feel, but the prospect of a 3D rendering holds promise. Passmore & Fabrizio are repped by Paradigm and Aperture Entertainment and Loeb by CAA. Passmore & Fabrizio are rewriting Hellified and Passmore scripted the Red Dawn remake.

Passmore and Fabrizio are two of the most energetic voices in the biz. I’m reading this ASAP.
They may be. But Allan Loeb sure is not.
JUST GO WITH IT
THE DILEMMA
WALL STREET PART DUH
Need I say more.
Jealous much?
Don’t forget the SWITCH, Jennifer Aniston’s masterpiece.
You forgot SO UNDERCOVER.
Hats off to Loeb for actually selling these projects – that’s his job and he’s great in a room. Don’t blame him – blame the worst batch of studio execs this town has ever seen not doing their homework and neglecting the better writers and projects they are pitched every day.
let me guess: international locales only shown at the beginning and end, parents with children, and a dog somehow survives.
Sounds like an awesome use for 3-D. I’d paid to see it in a heartbeat.
Now this is a 3D event film I would pay money for!
Sounds like an overpriced SyFy Movie
glad to see Aperture doing well–Adam Goldworm is my manager and he’s awesome
Thank you, my anonymous client – But why do I feel like I now have a target on my back?
“Sensurround” was woofers.
so twilight kids with zero plot, story or character? Didn’t NBC do a version of this years ago called 10.5?
10.5 Apocalypse! The movie that took zooming in and out non-stop to a new level of nausea-inducing.
Of all the 3D projects that are getting made, this is one that NEEDS to be made. Props to Passmore and Fabrizio for dreaming this up.
It could be good, but it’ll need some meat on the bone. Some bland, bloodless thing where only the unknown actors die would be boring. Otherwise it will just be an overproduced TV movie.
VOLCANO!! Fun, campy…yet played straight by Tommy Lee Jones and a fun supporting cast like Don Cheadle and Anne Heche. There is always room for smart popcorn movies. It could be worth look see.
Didn’t Roland Emmerich already roll about a dozen disaster movies into one with 2012?
if its a return to the master Irwin Allen and his large story amd large a-list cast then it should be good…. anything less and im afaid the audience will suffer through moe movie mediocraty Next up Towering Inferno….
Agreed. Do it big, do it fun. Forget “relevancy,” or “message” or anything that will get in the way of the effects. Why not intro an improved version of Sensurround and marry it to the 3D? I caught one of the last ones as a kid (Rollercoaster), and the effect was incredible. Throw in Trumbull’s Showscan, too, and blow usurper Cameron out of the water before he steals that, too.
Big CG scenes of devastated Los Angeles. Wow, that sounds fresh.
