The Rock is Back, Baby!

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is back!  And by “back” I mean in the action genre that propelled him to fame.  Johnson will play an ex-con out to avenge his brother’s murder.  The film, called Faster,  will  be directed by George Notorious Tillman and co-star Billy Bob Thorton and Carla Gugino.

Oh, and how do we know it’s not a kid’s film?  Let me quote from USAToday’s First Look article:

How do you know this isn’t the Johnson of kid-friendly The Game Plan and Return to Witch Mountain? For starters, Johnson gets shot in the head.

Faster is set to premiere in November.  We’ll keep an eye out for more news as it becomes available.
