A Serious Johnson

So I was checking IMDB and I took a look at Dwayne Johnson (who you probably still know better as “The Rock.†) Sometime around 2004 he decided he wanted to be taken more seriously as an actor and dropped his well known moniker, “The Rock.† So I thought I would check up on him and see how serious he is now.

His next two roles include a supporting role in the big screen version of Get Smart, and the voice of lead character “Captain Chuck† in the animated movie, Planet 51, a New Line Cinema toon about a human landing on an alien planet. Those don’t sound awful, but after that he has the following 4 movies slated for later release:

Race to Witch Mountain (In which he plays a Vegas cabbie helping paranormal kids avoid evil exploitation)

GI Joe (OK I admit I’m excited about this one)

Tooth Fairy (where, IMDB lists him cast as “The Tooth Fairy†)

And probably his most serious offering to date, Billy Batson and the Legend of Shazam (need I say more?)

This is serious business.
