Johnson will headline a Skyscraper movie set in China, which will be written and directed by his Central Intelligence helmer Rawson Mitchell Thurber. Said to e a cross between Die Hard and The Towering Inferno, the film is an adventure thriller that takes place in a mega-skyscraper set in China.

Okay, we’re in.
No idea as to when shooting will star as Johnson is currently at work on the eighth film in the Fast and Furious series having just wrapped on the Baywatch movie. He also has the adaptation of the video game Rampage on the horizon, as well as a film based around the Disney ride ‘Jungle Cruise.’ A very busy boy.
