Subject: The Rock
NEW YORK (Variety) -- Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is ready to swing the two-by-four in the MGM remake of "Walking Tall," a film that will likely go into production in early summer.
The 1973 film's premise of a Southern sheriff's mission to remove corruption from his county has been brought up to date. In the new version, The Rock's character returns home from serving his country and finds his small town infected by drugs, violence and general menace. Like the original character of Buford Pusser, who was played by Joe Don Baker, the protagonist still settles disputes with the very persuasive assist of a well-swung two-by-four.
The Rock has sparked to David Klass's script and his participation is subject to the studio signing him quickly. A deal is expected to be made quickly and a director hired right away.
MGM's courtship of the Rock will have to be quick if the studio wants to tie up his next slot. The Rock followed "The Scorpion King" with the Peter Berg-directed "Helldorado" for Universal, and studios all over town are developing vehicles for him, including Universal's "Spy Hunter," "Johnny Bravo" at Warner Bros., "Walk Like a Dragon" at Paramount, and "Skip Tracer" and "King Kamehameha" at Sony.

Well, I'll certainly be putting this on my "must see" list of movies along with any of the others that might come out. I just LOVE the Rock!! Can't help myself, he's just so...(sigh) dreamy!! :-*

I remember seeing Walking Tall at the movies back in the dark ages. The only that I really remember about the movie was that I didn't really like it. I thought it sucked.

Well, I definitely could smell what the Rock was cooking. :)
I don't remember about the pie and strudel thing though. Guess I really wasn't paying much attention to what he was saying but was more interested in how he was looking. ;)

To be more precise, up people's candy a**. Can't be worse than a stink face from Rikishi. Some of his catch Phrases I'll admit are cheesy. But "just bring it" is the best. And like the rest of the ladies that have responded here, he really is dreamy.

Oh really? How would you like it if Rakishi gave you a stinkface with his 300 pound butt right on top of you?
I'd rather have The Rock go heel.
