BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Dwayne Johnson To Star In The Fall Guy Film

The long-in-the-works movie version of 1980s TV series The Fall Guy is coming together once again, this time as a vehicle for Dwayne Johnson.

Johnson is in negotiations to star in a big-screen remake that McG is in talks to direct. Ashok Amritraj's
Amritraj is producing alongside Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, who have held the rights to the property for years. WWE's Michael Luisi also is producing, while McG is also in talks to produce. The film is being presented to buyers at the Toronto Film Festival.

Fall Guy was an ABC series that ran from 1981 to 1986 and starred as Lee Majors as a Hollywood stunt man who supplemented his income by doing bounty hunter work. He was joined on his escapades, which usually involved him transferring a stunt from a movie to the job at hand, by his sidekick cousin (Douglas Barr) and a fetching female stunt actress played by Heather Thomas.



Hollywood has long been trying to translate Fall Guy to the silver screen. The project was set for years at Warner Bros., and more recently at DreamWorks, where Parkes/MacDonald tried to get it off the ground in an incarnation with Martin Campbell at the helm and an iteration with Nicolas Cage starring.

Sources say Hyde Park, which is here in Toronto with the festival's closing night film Life of Crime, will be officially shopping it to sales agents at the festival in the coming week. Hyde Park will finance the film along with WWE.

But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
