Written by David Morgan Former WWE superstar Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will continue his trend of comedic roles in family films by playing the title character in The Tooth Fairy. According to Variety, "Johnson will play an ordinary man who's brought in to try to save the tooth fairy kingdom." Worried that this may not sound like a good project for the star of The Game Plan?

He's kind of an expert on the cinematic adaptations of lies from our childhood ...

Filed under: Casting, Family FilmsNo, it isn't April Fools Day yet. Now hearing this news, that The Rock was going to be the Tooth Fairy, led me to Bad Santa visions. Or, maybe a bit role in some weird dream sequence -- all the fairy tale people played by muscle-rippling ex-wrestlers.

The Rock Wants an Oscar
Published 2/28/2008 by Christopher at SpoutBlog
Here’s an 11th suggestion for how the Academy Awards can build up its ratings: give Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson an Oscar nomination.

The wrestler-turned-actor was a presenter during Sunday’s ceremony and afterwards he was asked by reporters whether or not he’d one day like an Oscar. And obviously he said that he would. He’s quoted in ...
