Kylie Minogue Is Joining The Rock For Earthquake Movie 'San Andreas'. Why? The Money.

Just to set the tone of this article: Kylie Minogue doesn’t have to do disaster movies with Dwayne The Rock Johnson.

But she is; Minogue has decided that her third major dramatic role will be in ‘San Andreas – an earthquake thriller starring The Rock. The film is being shot in in Queensland at the moment, but is obviously set in California along the San Andreas Fault – establishing shots will take place in San Francisco.

This isn’t Minogue’s first departure from singing infectious pop songs and being a gay icon. She played Cammy in the 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme movie Street Fighter, and made her feature film debut in the 1989 film The Delinquents. Most recently she was seen at the Sydney Film Festival, co-starring alongside Nick Cave in stylish arthouse movie 20,000 Days on Earth.
