Trailer For Hercules Starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson

If you've ever dreamed of seeing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson running up a tree and clubbing a gigantic wild boar about the face with a big club, this is the day you've been waiting for. The trailer for Hercules is here. Directed by Brett Ratner and centring on the myths surrounding – you guessed it – Hercules, everyone's favourite Greek demi-god, this promises to be a darn sight grittier than Disney's talking imp-filled version from the late '90s. Making things a little simpler, the 12 labors that define the complicated hero have already been completed by the time this film's action starts, though as you can see from the trailer, some are shown in flashback (which explains the giant wild boar). Shot in Budapest and requiring eight months of solid workout time for the Fast & Furious star, it's less green screen and more red blood. Adapted from the Radical Comics title, the plot sees the benevolent ruler of Thrace and his daughter see

First Look At Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson As Hercules

Sometimes special moments strike like Zeus' thunderbolts on a movie set. For Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson , a massive jolt came on the set of Hercules (out July 25) during a scene when his Greek hero was chained to stone pillars. "It's when Hercules breaks through the chains and becomes the demi-god he was born to be," says Johnson. "I was actually yelling with all the power I could muster, 'I am Hercules!' I gave it my all and made myself pass out every time we did it. But I honestly felt in that moment that I was born to play this role." From the looks of it, he might be right. Even as a child, Johnson, 41, idolized the Herculean legend — "He was the first superhero." But with his 6-foot-5 frame and his famously heroic stature, Johnson is one of the few actors who could legitimately portray his hero onscreen. The effort has taken a decade, and came into focus when director Brett Ratner came onboard four years ago. John

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson "Ballers" Headed To HBO

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is heading to TV full-time. HBO has picked up to series Ballers, the dramedy starring the Pain & Gain alum, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. Half-hour comedy Ballers examines the lives of a group of former and current football players. The comedy hails from Stephen Levinson (Entourage), who penned the script and executive produces alongside Mark Wahlberg, Johnson, Hiram Garcia, Evan Reilly and Peter Berg , the latter of whom will direct the pilot. Dany Garcia is on board as a co-EP. HBO is producing the series with Wahlberg's Closest to the Hole Productions, Levinson's Leverage Entertainment and White Buffalo Entertainment.

Johnson is no stranger to the sports world, having played college football before kicking off his World W

Fast Six Set Pictures. Threes A Crowd

When the colossally entertaining Fast Five ram-raided our cinemas and made off with $620m, some pick 'n' mix and half a box of nachos, it was only a matter of time before studio bosses revved up the franchise for a sixth outing. Fast Six is now well under way and looking like delivering all the thrills, spills and weaponised pectorals you could possibly hope for. It's still early days but Vin Diesel's Facebook page - 2000 per cent more macho than ours - features a couple of new snaps from the movie. One features the original trio Dominic Toretto ( Diesel ), Brian O'Conner ( Paul Walker ) and Luke Hobbs ( Dwayne Johnson ) in the kind of face-off than usually ends in cities being abandoned. Fast Six is scheduled for US release on May 24, 2013. Please Leave A Comment- Source- Empire

Dwayne Johnson To Play LOBO?

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island , director Brad Peyton had leapt on an offer from Warner Bros. to make DC Comics' psycho alien bounty hunter Lobo his next project. A tip of the hat to Empire forumite Partybee then, who suggested that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was the obvious choice to play the cigar-chomping bastich. There may just be something in that. This is strictly, strictly rumour at the moment, stemming from Bleeding Cool , who heard it at a party that The Rock's second-cousin didn't show up at (or something). But given that his Rockness was the star of Journey 2 and therefore has previous with Peyton, it does actually sound reasonable. And then there's this tweet from Dwayne, in response to a fan saying she'd love to see him in a DC property. "Funny you should say that..." The Rock is cooking something. Can you smell it? Lobo, for those not familiar, is the 7ft, chalk-skinned, mascara-wearing "Last Czarnian" (he killed a

MMA Star Gina Carano Goes For A Ride In Fast & Furious 6

Haywire star Gina Carano , the MMA athlete-turned-actress, is in negotiations to join the cast of Fast & Furious 6 , the next installment in the billion-dollar franchise for Universal Pictures. Plot and character are being kept locked in the trunk of a 1970 Dodge Charger, but Paul Walker and Vin Diesel are set to return as rogue heroes Brian O’Conner and Dominic Toretto, respectively, while Dwayne Johnson is reprising his role as Diplomatic Security Service Agent Luke Hobbs, out to capture the boys. Carano will play a member of Johnson’s team. For Fast 6 , Justin Lin is back as director for his fourth outing in the movie series, and Chris Morgan, who wrote the past three Fast films, is back on scripting duty. Neal H. Moritz and Diesel are returning as producers. Launched in 2001, the Fast franchise is one of Universal’s hottest properties, with 2011’s Fast Five reinvigorating what was considered a long-in-the-tooth series. Fast Five gave Universal its biggest opening weeken

Fast Five Movie Review By: SandwichJohn

Fast Five Movie Review By: SandwichJohn I was walking into the theater not knowing how I felt about this Franchise, same movie just told in a different way. I was making fun of my friends that were so excited for this movie to come out. Maybe in the same way they were laughing when I lined out overnight to watch the Star Wars films. All I have to say is Fast Five blew me away. Forget that it is apart of the Fast And Furious franchise. This movie could hold it's own. Can't you tell how excited I am. The movie is a guys wet dream, Hot Cars, Hot Woman (Yes, ladies Hot Guys too) and more action than you could ask for. We all know going into this film that there weren't going to be any kind of Oscar caliber performances from the actors. But if action or driving could grant you an Oscar then everyone in this film would be getting one. There are a few thing I need to point out before I go on with the review, there are cars in this movie I have never seen or heard of bef

Fast Six To Have Less Cars More Action

Universal  studios has a big fat blockbuster overseas in Fast Five , which releases into North American theaters this Friday as the fifth installment of the very popular street racing franchise. But here's what really gives me reason to think Universal might be back on the right track: what's planned for Fast Six . No studio has ever dared to change the genre of a successful franchise, but it's a bold and provocative move. In summary, It's already known that Universal has started Chris Morgan -- the screenwriter of Fast Five as well as The Fast And The Furious 3: Tokyo Drif t, and Fast & Furious 4 -- on the script for the sixth installment as part of his new production deal at the studio. But Morgan is also a great scripter of the crime-thriller genre, like Wanted . So what Fast Five sets up nicely is a Fast Six whose plot revolves around a major robbery. And Universal's intent is to transform the street-racing franchise into a series of heist films. I
