BIG MOVIE: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Gets Vancouver Day As He Runs Through Downtown Streets For SKYSCRAPER

The Rock is on the run in downtown Vancouver as Hong Kong. On Wednesday night, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson ran down Expo Boulevard pushing and shoving extras as his Skyscraper character escaped police custody.

On Thursday and Friday nights, The Rock ran from an alley off Seymour Street and grabbed a police motorcycle.

And in between, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson came to set to honour Johnson with the city’s The Rock Day.

It’s official: The Rock Day. Such a cool (and bad ass) honor to have the Mayor of Vancouver, Gregor Robertson, present this proclamation to me last night on set. I’m a grateful man to be in the business of making big movies and entertainment that serve multiple purposes around the world. One of those critical purposes is providing jobs for thousands of hard working people, local businesses and economies every time we bring a production to town. Jobs and opportunities for people. And free waffles for me. Thank you Mayor and your staff for being so gracious and welcoming to myself and our entire production crew to your city. And thank you for this honor and thanks for being such a cool guy. Vancouver will always hold a special place in my DNA. Next time drinks on me.. #ItsOfficial #TheRockProc #October19th #Vancouver #TheRockDay ✊🏾

The Rock Day.

What is Skyscraper? A kind-of Die Hard in Hong Kong.

The Rock stars as Will Ford, a former veteran and FBI hostage rescue team leader, who now assesses security for skyscrapers. When the world’s tallest, safest tower goes up in flames in Hong Kong while he’s on assignment, Johnson finds himself framed for the arson. How will he clear his name and rescue his family trapped in the tower above the fire line?

Neve Campbell, Chin Han, Bryon Mann and Hannah Quinlivan co-star.

Tonight is the third overnight at the Seymour set [but it will be the stunt double running. The Rock is in Atlanta].

Skyscraper started filming in metro Vancouvere in mid-August and is expected to wrap mid-November.

Skyscraper will be in theatres next summer on July 13th, 2018.
