Looks like The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) is lined up to play the lead in the new Disney project Daddy’s Girl. With the addition of this project to his queue, The Rock now has no less than SEVEN (7) movies in the works. Others include Blowback, Johnny Bravo (which I’m really looking forward too), Spy Hunter, Ride Along, Instant Karma, Gridiron Gang and Southland Tales. Gosh… you think The Rock was successful in making his jump to the big screen?
Now, the quality of The Rock’s movies is forever up for debate. Personally, I really enjoyed him in just about everything he’s been in up until the disaster that was DOOM. Is he a great thespian? Not a chance in hell, but he does have a magnetic charm and charisma on screen that makes it difficult not to like him.
The good folks over at Cinema Confidential have provided us with this little synopsis of Daddy’s Girl:
The story will follow a football player who learns that he has a daughter and embarks on his own journey in becoming a father.
Yeah, sounds like a sweet little family Disney film. Hit or miss. But it does look like something The Rock will fit right into.
The thing is… I was really convinced that they should have been positioning The Rock to be the next Stallone/Van Dame big violent action hero. Something like this seem a little to me like a step backwards. Your thoughts?
