Dwayne Johnson will star as the title character in The Tooth Fairy, a 20th Century Fox fantasy comedy that's coming together for an August start, Variety reported. Michael Lembeck (The Santa Clause) will direct.

Johnson will play an ordinary man who's brought in to try to save the tooth fairy kingdom.

The Tooth Fairy was written by the team of Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel and the team of Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia.

Johnson is currently starring in Disney's Witch Mountain, and he will be seen starring this summer opposite Steve Carell in the Warner Brothers comedy Get Smart.

Wait what??? There's enough Tooth Fairies that they have their own Kingdom?! :o

:facepalm: Sweet jeebus....

I don't even need to make a joke. Your title covered it for me.

Only Arnie can do this stuff and still come out Arnie. It's killed every other action lead's career

Just look at Vin Diesel and the Pasifier.

[Spitfire]

Ugh...Why Hollywood? Why?

[Peanut]

LOL! I think someone may be making a return to the ring in a few years.

You're doubting The Rock's ability to play a fairy? The Rock says all those other jabroni fairies are going to get the smackdown laid on their roody poo, candy you know what's...

[Mr. Snackpants]

This just jumped Indiana Jones as my most anticipated film in the next year. This will be amazing.

[BubblyShell22]

This actually sounds like it might be funny. I think The Rock's doing these films so that his daughter can see his work. Most of his other films, she can't see, so he wants to do family oriented stuff. I thought he did very well in The Game Plan.

I'm just flabberghasted that Disney wasn't the studio to come up with this. And throw a random funny animal in it as well.

Couldn't agree more. But then again, Arnold is Arnold. Even as a holder of political power, he's Arnold.

I can understand an actor trying to expand his genre but this seems a bit too goofy. Maybe being typecast isn't such a bad thing. :ohwell:

He'll be like Gender Bender in Futurama.

[JetsAndHeels]

He'll be like Gender Bender in Futurama.


:) :)



I will be willing to bet that the movie won't be half as good as one Futurama episode.

proof there is no writing talent in hollyweird

I guess you don't realize that without HollyWOOD, none of your favorite movies or even shows would exist, including TMNT. So shut up. Bad movies are nothing new. They've been around since the beginning.

Now now, that may have been a generalization, but some of the plots of certain movies make you wonder what some of those writers are smoking.

[Katie]

It's funny you guys should mention the governator...this role WAS originally his. It's a fairly old script....one that was supposed to come out before he decided to become governor of that west cost state. I remember seeing this somewhere a looooong time ago and being completely blown away that he would do something like that.

They never made it though. I thought it was dead. Oh well.

[Ra]

I can really see this as a box office smash. Sad, but true.

[Drtooth]

With this and the Game Plan, he's gonna be type cast in raucous family comedies. Just sayin'.

[Revan]

haha no joke, and I always considered him a tough guy...:lol: looks like I'm the fool now

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

haha no joke, and I always considered him a tough guy...:lol: looks like I'm the fool now

Now who is going to be the tougher of the not so tough guys, Fairy Rock or Hulk Hogan in a tutu?:lol:

[Raph's Girl]

Don't worry. He'll become a tough guy again once the Shazam! movie comes out. Cuz remember folks...he's playing Black Adam!! :D

But meanwhile he's doing the remake of Escape to Witch Mountain (a movie series that I LOVE and shouldn't be remade at ALL! Fraking Disney and their remakes!!! Leave the Witch Mountain series alone!!!! ) and of course the Tooth Fairy kingdom saving...thingy....

But I don't think The Rock has nothing on Michael Dorn who's been reduced to playing the Sandman in the Santa Clause movies....he was such a tough Klingon too....

[Andrew NDB]

The Rock is trying to follow the Arnold template... but he forgets, you need to actually do the successful badass, hard R action movies before you do the self-parody comedy movies. Otherwise, it's just perception becoming reality.

[BubblyShell22]

Well, I think it will be cool because he's a funny guy. Even when he was in WWE, he had a sense of humor. Maybe he's doing this for the comedy, and as mentioned before, for his daughter. That's the main reason why he did The Game Plan, so that she can actually watch one of his movies. And, frankly, I thought he did very well in it.
