Biography
Brad Peyton directed blockbuster action films starring Dwayne Johnson, becoming synonymous with large-scale disaster and adventure cinema. Born May 27, 1978, in Canada, Peyton is a Canadian filmmaker and screenwriter whose filmography spans tentpole features and prestige television. His breakthrough came with Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012), followed by San Andreas (2015)—a disaster film that anchored its chaos to emotional stakes—and Rampage (2018), which transformed video-game source material into a creature-feature blockbuster. In 2019, Peyton shifted to serialized storytelling with Daybreak, a Netflix series that blended post-apocalyptic survival with dark comedy. As a screenwriter and director, Peyton navigates the intersection of commercial filmmaking and genre convention, often tasked with translating existing intellectual property or high-concept premises into visual narratives. Born under Gemini, his career reflects that sign's affinity for duality—balancing spectacle with story, franchise obligation with directorial signature. His life-path number is 3, suggesting creative expression and communication as core drives in his trajectory through Hollywood's infrastructure.
