I really need Zac Crain to cast this Cleburne quake movie, but I’ll give it a shot. (Working Title: Terror Tremors.) Right now, Dr. Brian Stump (Jeff Goldblum), an SMU geological sciences professor, is taking 10 portable doohickeys to measure a quake’s epicenter. I’m sure he and his team, starring plucky SMU student Ashley Howe (Mandy Moore), will discover just how dangerous the situation really is. (With the help of a mysterious West African seer, played by Djimon Hounsou.) Somehow they convince the stubborn, wily, big-hearted Johnson County Sheriff, Bob Alford (J.T. Walsh), that the city needs to be evacuated. That’s when the evil government suit (Chris Pine, miscast) shuts down the entire operation. The ground begins to rumble, and … c’mon, this writes itself, people.
Update: Wes Mantooth points out that J.T. Walsh is very dead. He suggests John Goodman. Zac, where are you?
