The Rock Teases 'The Prison Scene Of All Prison Scenes' On The Set Of FAST 8!
2017 may well feel like a return to normalcy for fans ardent and loyal to Universal Pictures’s The Fast And The Furious saga. We’ve come a long way since the first film and the franchise has, indeed, evolved into something almost entirely different from what it once was, which is either a good or bad thing depending on how you feel about the previous four, bigger-scale thrillers. Thus, it looks like things will only get bigger in F. Gary Gray’s contribution, Fast 8, judging by the behind-the-scenes footage we’ve spoiled ourselves with in the last few months; From cars toppling from buildings onto the street to explosive tank chases in Iceland, and the inclusion what Gray and co-star Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson promise will be “the prison scene of all prison scenes”… yes, bigger indeed! Production rolls onward as the story of our renegade anti-heroes led by Vin Diesel and […]

Johnson is expected to return for number eight in the film line with F. Gary Gray directing and filming soon this year, so a show like this seems […]
Watch The First Trailer For CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE Starring Kevin Hart And Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson!
Pitting two bankable film stars in the same movie is one thing, but just what exactly does one look like with actors Kevin Hart and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson? Well, for starters, director Rawson Marshall Thurber has an answer to that which begins with the newest trailer for the upcoming action comedy, Central Intelligence, with a plot that surely flips the script, shoots it, crashes into it and throws it out the damn window. Screaming. SYNOPSIS: The story follows a one-time bullied geek who grew up to be a lethal CIA agent (Johnson), coming home for his high school reunion. Claiming to be on a top-secret case, he enlists the help of the former “big man on campus” (Hart), now an accountant who misses his glory days. But before the staid numbers-cruncher realizes what he’s getting into it’s too late to get out, as his increasingly unpredictable new friend drags […]
Johnson And Hart Gear Up For CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE
It was just a few days ago that actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson posted an Instagram picture indicating a pending announcement stating an upcoming announcement for a new buddy action comedy with a hugely vague hint on who his co-star would be. “…In the right lighting and camera angles, we could pass as twins.” he said, and of course that would throw almost anyone off and into an epic guessing game of who looks like the hulking actor. Needless to say, Tuesday’s news finally stated who that actor would be in the form of someone anyone would least expect, with word from Variety that comedian and actor Kevin Hart would be starring alongside Johnson in Dodgeball helmer Rawson Marshall Thurber‘s Central Intelligence, which will start filming next Spring for New Line Cinema. Several versions of the developing script are underway between Thurber, and writing duos Ike Barinholtz and Dave Stassen, […]

Dwayne Johnson Confirms THE JANSON DIRECTIVE, Tweets Screenwriter
It’s considerably awesome seeing Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson become one of the most entertaining and bankable actors working in film these days. The Mummy Returns, The Scorpion King, and The Rundown were a huge jumpstart for the former wrestler whose move into film has since brought him in the throes of some of the biggest franchises to to date, including The Fast And The Furious saga and the G.I. Joe movies. Despite his flexible willingness as an actor, he’s particularly one that anyone would look forward to seeing in an action-packed story. Well, Universal Pictures announed its readiness to answer the call back in June when it was reported that Johnson was up for the lead role in new espionage thriller, The Janson Directive, based on the work of Jason Bourne author and creator, the late Robert Ludlum. This week however, the hulking actor took to Twitter to confirm his involvement […]

Dwayne Johnson Announces His Role As Black Adam In SHAZAM For New Line
It’s high time the truth came out this week, long after comic book and movie fans were aching and itching for actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to just “say the word”, as he so eloquently put it in an interview with Total Film about a month ago. Plans are already underway to accumulate feature films based on famed DC Comics comic book characters, including Warner Bros. current production of Batman V Superman: The Dawn Of Justice. One other such film that’s been hyped like crazy is the upcoming production of Shazam, originally rooted at Fawcett Comics as Captain Marvel by artist C.C. Beck and author Bill Parker. As per a lawsuit at the time, Fawcett Comics relenquished the character and all Shazam-related characters to DC Comics between 1972 and 1991, including Black Adam who didn’t appear in the comic series until 1945 from Beck and writer Otto Binder. Fast forward […]
Stallone On Johnson For Expendables 4: "Bring It On"
August 15 will be the day that moviegoers will get to officially see the iconic who’s-who of blockbuster fanfare with the release of director Patrick Hughes’s new film, The Expendables 3. Ironically, it will also be the day that the filmmakers and studio involved will see if whether or not the film’s recent illegal leak with affect its box office earnings before ever moving forward with a fourth film. Lionsgate is suing a slate of unnamed defendants for allocating the film through torrent sites two weeks ahead of its release, while the Department Of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement has also opened up a federal investigation on the matter. It’s a clusterfuck of epic proportions, and needless to say, this all would never be an issue if a bunch of selfish bastards online didn’t steal the film. Personally, I would rather talk about the movies, and that includes the […]

At the moment, promotion is heavily underway for the upcominh July 25 release of director Brett Ratner‘s Hercules, with clips and numerous TV spots already having gone viral.

SYNOPSIS: Based on the graphic novel Hercules: The Thracian Wars, the ensemble-action film is a revisionist take on the classic myth set in a grounded world where the supernatural does not exist. The screenplay is by Ryan Condal and Evan Spiliotopoulos. Everyone knows the legend of Hercules and his twelve labors. Our story begins after the labors, and after the legend… […]

Dwayne Johnson Is A Man With A Cause In The New Trailer For HERCULES!
Action blockbusters won’t be running low with actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson taking the lead this July with the forthcoming release of his newest adventure thriller, Hercules from director Brett Ratner. And if it comes as close to author Steve Moore’s original novel as some book enthusiasts and action junkies like may hope, then you can chalk this up as another successful installment into a potential franchise with a sequel. Yes indeed, there are more books from whence this film came via its roots at Radical Comics in 2009, and with any luck, Johnson might say yes. Well, I hope he does at least. This one looks grizzled as all mighty hell with a splash of chilli. Bring ice. Check out the new trailer below and mark your calendar for July 25!

The Rock Has No Fear In A New Clip From HERCULES!
If this year’s earlier release of The Legend Of Hercules wasn’t enough for fans of sword and sandal fantasy action, then filmgoers will get their fair share of the meatier, mightier character in the form of actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in director Brett Ratner‘s latest take on the character in Hercules. The film just saw its first teaser trailer last month, hinting at a more grounded, grittier approach to the character while still investing in a few fantasy elements here and there so as to lend more to its blockbuster potential.

HERCULES Lets The World Know His Name In The Commanding New Trailer!
Actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been real busy as of late keeping close to the pulse of his fans through social networking ahead of promoting his next big screen adventure, Hercules. The official trailer premiered at CinemaCon this week, along with a whole new batch of footage of other films heading our way this summer. And today, the official trailer is now online courtesy of Machinima ETC. Unlike the previously released Renny Harlin-directed 3D film, Hercules takes on a whole new level of understanding for the character which essentially appears to do tons of justice for fans of its lead actor whose early resumé includes The Scorpion King; I’m almost inclined to ask you all which of the two would win in a fight, but I digress! At any rate, the trailer delivers solidly with The Rock’s own stamp of approval, and I’ll leave it to you to decide […]
