Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is Doc Savage

The Rock goes Doc for Writer/Director Shane Black’s upcoming Doc Savage film.

 

Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson revealed the news by way of Instagram accompanied by a rather lengthy blurb complementing the production crew and project concept. The wrestler turned actor is going to take on the title role of iconic the pulp adventurer which will be set in the 1930’s.

 

 

While many moviegoers may not be familiar with this bronze aged character, Doc Savage actually pre-dates Superman and is one of the world’s first superheroes. That’s right, the character is even named Clark and was groomed by his father to be the savior of humanity… sound familiar? Johnson continued his Instagram post by describing his take on the pulp icon.

The #1 reason I’m excited to become Doc Savage.. HE’S A F*CKING HILARIOUS WEIRDO!

Audiences can likely expect Doc Savage to roll into production once Black’s done with his highly-anticipated current project ‘The Predator.’ Now begins the wait for “The Rock” Savage!

Pooya: Since his wee lad-dom, Pooya has been a sommelier of cinema. It was likely some acting bug, fallen from the dust riddled ruby curtains of an enchanted old stage that did it. Those cinematic scarabs must have burrowed deep into his brain, irreversibly altering his mind, turning the poor boy down a dismal path. From his earliest years the strange boy would aimlessly wander the aisles of countless video rental stores, amassing his trivial knowledge with vigor. These actions befuddled the boy’s parents, who still would lovingly oblige his unusual attraction to the motion picture. Often seeking refuge in the cushioned seating of his local movie theater, the odd adolescent would immerse himself in the scripted and effects riddled realities unfolding on the screen before him. During his collegiate years, he was twice spotted on stage performing bizarre theatrical rituals before awe-struck audiences. When he departed from academia, he left behind his youth in exchange for a labor routine, but the strange young man never lost his long-cultivated love of film. Recently, Pooya was approached by FilmFad.com to join their budding team of entertainment bloggers. After hours of coaxing and an undisclosed number of honey jars, he accepted their offer. Finally he had come full circle. Finally, at FilmFad.com, he was home.

  • "World's first superhero"? Not even close. Misses the mark by a couple millennia.

    But the movie should be fun.
