The director Ric Roman Waugh, said that he really wanted to continue with showing just what the humans are capable of!
- Focusing on survivors and the complex question of how rebuilding might happen.
- The lives that were confined underground! And what impact that had.

The movie also looks to show just what these amazing, strong-willed characters and families can bring! As a follow up film from the iconic Gerard Butler movie that showed just what these actors can do to keep people enthralled with these kinds of special disaster movies.
