Man, I remember as a kid I used to just freak out over Escape To Witch Mountain. Such a fun little flick that is still replayed on local TV on a somewhat regular basis. It’s also a prime candidate for a remake. Well, a remake is on the way. The film will just simply be called “Witch Mountain” and it appears they’ve attached Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to it.
The folks at Yahoo News give us this:
The story follows a pair of siblings, endowed with paranormal powers, who go on the run from a diabolical group of men who wish to exploit their abilities. Johnson will play a Las Vegas cab driver who is in for the ride of his life when he picks up the duo.
I’m enjoying the success that The Rock has had of late. I was over at my family’s place a few weeks ago and Gridiron Gang was on. I forgot how honestly good of a job Johnson did in that role. No, the movie as a while wasn’t anything special, but Johnson was pretty damn good in it, and it sort of showed how much he’s developed as an actor since his days as The Scorpion King.
So yes, chalk me up as one of the people thrilled to see a Witch Mountain remake, and also pretty happy to see The Rock in it as well… although we’ll see if it’ll be a good fit or not.
