Increasingly looking to develop his own starring vehicles (and we don’t just mean buying big trucks), Dwayne Johnson has landed a deal to star in Alpha Squad Seven, which his production company helped develop.
Writers Jeremiah Friedman and Nick Palmer dreamt up the pitch for what is described as a sci-fi comedy, one that is designed to pair The Rock with someone else and, if successful, launch a franchise. Not to mention a raft of jokes about whether moviegoers need to have seen Alpha Squad one through six…
Friedman and Palmer sold their one-line idea to producer Beau Flynn and development executive Wendy Jacobson, referencing movies such as Independence Day and Guardians Of The Galaxy as inspiration, with Flynn then throwing it to Johnson’s 7 Bucks company, which stumped up the money to develop the script. DreamWorks has now won a bidding war for the idea, which all involved are keeping quiet for the moment.
As for Johnson, he’s back on our screens battling Mother Nature’s capricious ways with disaster movie San Andreas on May 29, and he’s in the early stages of shooting action comedy Central Intelligence and providing a voice for Disney’s Hawaii-flavoured animated adventure Moana, which is out on February 10, 2017.
