In any case, in a recent Q and A interview via Twitter, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson stated that demolitions expert--er director--Michael Bay actually offered Johnson the lead role in Tranformers: Really There's a Fourth Fucking Movie. Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts with the upcoming Hercules, Johnson was forced to turn the role down and it ultimately went to Mark Wahlberg.
From a franchise standpoint it's too bad he turned it down as he probably would have been a welcome edition to the group. From a personal standpoint--good on ya mate.
There's no set plans after Hercules for Johnson right now but he said Fast and Furious 7 is a strong possibility and maybe an HBO project with Mark Wahlberg. It's called "Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals." Ok not really but there is a project slated.
You can currently see Johnson in the aforementioned Pain and Gain in theaters now and in Fast and Furious 6 next month.
This guy is quickly becoming one of my favorite actors, and is already one of my favorite Twitter follows. Sounds corny, but he's extremely positive and I think that stands out with celebs today. Pain and Gain looks hilarious, it's on my "someday" list.
ReplyDeleteActor is stretching it. I think he's a great action star and a better actor than AH-NOLD however. I do love his attitude though. He's very much a "forge your own destiny" kind of a guy. And has a good sense of humor. BTW your "someday" list is getting quite extensive. lol
ReplyDeleteYes it is...this is what happens if you enjoy the idea of watching movies, but only rarely actually do so.
ReplyDeleteHow do you define actor? Keep in mind I am looking for something objective and scientific, not opinion-of-ability to act.
