Dwayne Johnson To Star In Monster Hunter’s Survival Guide Movie
It’s hard to deny Dwayne Johnson’s natural charm, a trait that he’s translated into a successful film career. The Rock is now going to have to turn his charms on monsters as he’s been tapped to star in the adaptation of the Monster Hunter’s Survival Guide. He may be headlining Survivor Series and Wrestlemania for the WWE once again, but Johnson also has his sights set on becoming a badass brand name in films. Johnson and Vin Diesel are essentially the trimmed and toned up versions of Schwarzenegger and Stallone.
According to Deadline Dwayne Johnson is now attached to star in the Simon Kinberg produced film. Based on the comic series by John Paul Russ, we’re not sure what the movie version of the Survival Guide will be. As the title suggests the comics are chock full of tips on how to make it through an encounter with vampires, Big Foot, werewolves, zombies, and other sordid creatures.
Jonny Quest was different. I wouldn’t go so far as to call it groundbreaking, the show wasn’t exactly quality, but it was different from the usual cartoon stuff you’d see on Saturday mornings. In premise, it was a lot like a knockoff of the early Tom Swift books, a kid with a scientist father investigating strange occurrences. Like all early Hanna Barbara prodcuts, it was pretty cheesy, but since it’s endured for decades in several different incarnations, maybe there was a good idea in there somewhere. Or maybe Jonny just had a cute dog.
