One of our spies holds down The Rock and makes him squeal about SPY HUNTER!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a spy that risked life and limb to get you folks a small tidbit about SPY HUNTER straight from The Rock's purty little mouth! Read about the adventure below!
Hi Harry. Fatwit here. I was lucky enough to speak with The Great One himself last night at the Oz premiere of Walking Tall. Yep, The People's Champion - THE ROCK. Among the defeaning chants of "If ya smell what The Rock is cookin" and me nervously shoving my Mummy Returns DVD in his face for an autograph, I quizzed Rocky on the long-gestating movie adaptation of Spyhunter. Here's what he had to say: "Yeah, it's going to be awesome. And I mean AWESOME. John Woo is on board, and we're going through many script changes. We're starting in March next year".
So there ya go, word from The Great One himself. Looks like Spyhunter will be out late 2005 or early-mid 2006 if they actually begin next March. Even if the movie is as half as good as the game, we should be in for some real kick-ass fun.
What tainted the night however was Rocky's security outfit. The most gung-ho bunch of motherfuckers I had ever laid eyes upon. My friend and I snuck out the back of the theater complex to head Rock off when he left in his cavalcade of SUVs. Upon approaching the cars from a distance, one of his security guards threatened us with violence and said "You come any closer and I'll hit you". Seriously, the audacity of these security fuckers! I kind of wish this guy came after me, coz when you have your video camera rolling, it's always interesting viewing for the local cops.
So the lesson for everyone here is don't approach The Rock's security outfit. They'll try and lay the smackdown on your candy ass quicker than you can say "Mr Socko".

We already knew the director, and is he honestly going to say that it will be anything BUT awesome? Sorry, but it's just not a story.

What a pointless post! Wow, now we all know when they're gonna start filming the next Rock film. Phew, now I'll be able to sleep. Oh, and i loved the revelation that the Rock said it's gonna be "AWESOME". Couldn't you AICN people filter out this kind of crap post? I mean if you want real news, my Nan's decided not to have her other knee fixed coz she says fixing one was too painful and she doesn't wanna go through that again. At least that's a human interest story!

THE RUNDOWN was a good showcase for the Rock. Make more like th
by tall_boy
Haven't bothered to see WALKING TALL or SCORPION KING but I caught RUNDOWN one day when I arrived late to see KILL BILL VOL. 1 -- and I surprisingly didn't hate it. So if they keep it light but with a strong supporting cast and some good action, it could really work. If the Rock gets TOO serious you just start drowing in the beefcake. Keep it light and airy, kind of like chocolate cake. Mmmmm, chocolate cake...

Spy Hunter raped my childhood....Hulk Hogan should play Spy Hunter, "There's a spy in every corner, brother!"...Bruce Campbell should play a spy...Spy Hunter is the sexiest tomboy beanpole on the planet...Hilary Duff / Linsay Lohan / Olsen Twin movies own all your asses...George Lucas blah blah blah...fuck Greedo shooting first...All you fanboys need to grow up and get a life....this is not news, Harry, this wss posted a week ago on spyhuntershopsattarget.com...you're a doofus...no you are...Gotta love those AICN Talkback cliches?

What kind of rock was that - igneous, metamorphic or sedimentary
by salvatoregravano
The title *does* refer to a rock, doesn't it? Surely there is no human imbecilic enough to call him/herself a "rock"?
-
The Rock is mistaking a massive mistake. He needs to be a supporting character... or a villian. How cool would he be as a bond henchman or as a freaking monster? Heck, I'd like to see him as a drunk and abusive husband. The hero thing makes him look silly.
-
Your name alone makes me want to hit you; I can only fathom you charging my SUV, like the KrispyKreme papparazzi you are, zits oozing and video rolling. You are lucky he didn't OC you and leave you gagging in snot and vomit, fucktard.
-
Wow. And in other cool news, I will have cereal and milk this morning, but no toast. Because I ran out of bread yesterday. It's going to be AWESOME! I mean it.
-
Like that's good news.The guy has not made one movie that didn't look good in the trailer and then didn't totally disappoint in the end. His only movie that I was not disappointed in was Paycheck, because my expectations were so low from the beginning, that there was nothing to disappoint. The string of good actors who wasted their time on his movies is much too long. Welcome aboard Dwayne.
-
I mean that with no disrespect to him whatsoever -- I'm a huge fan -- and in all seriousness. As documented elsewhere, Davies was very good with light comedy... but her sugar daddy, William Randolph Hearst, envisioned her as a tragic herione, and kept bankrolling that kind of film for her... and, one after another, they bombed. Now, The Rock has got the most incredible action-hero look we've had for years, or more specifically action-figure look. The problem is not merely these lame-ass scripts he gets, but the very basis of his casting. WALKING TALL didn't work because of anything he did -- it didn't work because you couldn't imagine him not wiping the floor with the bad guys. More to the point, a large hunk of The Rock's popularity is based on his being a talker -- a fast-talker, a jive-talker, a loudmouth, a badass. So what do they keep casting him as? A strong, silent type. THE RUNDOWN was the closest thing the guy's had to a role that fits his gifts. Did you see his second appearance on SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE? It was like he wanted to make an audition tape for getting into sitcoms. Nature expert, gay bartender/lounge singer, drunk buxom fangirl, even a comedy version of The Scorpion King. My choice would be something truly nuts -- a while back they were talking about casting him as Johnny Bravo, which would be him talking and taking funny bumps. Playing to his strengths out of the gate. Howzabout a comedy remake of THE DEFIANT ONES, with The Rock and Bruce Campbell? Actually, I just gave myself a script idea....
-
I had no idea who Joseph Cotten was, so I looked him up on IMDB. Know what his first movie was? "Too Much Johnson"! Now THAT'S news!
-
was Walken. And his tooth fairy speech.
-
the guy has lost his touch to americanize his movies.
Also, good for the security team for threatening these nerds with violence. nothing like a good ass kicking to keep fanboys in check. -
The Mission Impossible movies at least had a cool premise. Woo is not going to have as much material and backstory to work with for Spy Hunter, so there will be mondo special effects and at least 30 minutes of slow mo action sequences. might need a big budget for this one.
-
With Jack Black as the Dig Dug guy. That game was cool.

Have you ever considered that by pointing out the cliches on the board that you yourself are becomming a cliche?

I have worked with some people who have been assigned to some high profiles stars before and they were fucking pussies. How fucking hard do you need to be to get your average film fan to move along? Honestly if i were trying to get an autograph or something from the rock and someone started on me i wouldn't hesitate a second to give him smack, but then I have few friends who are pretty sturdy lol.
-
i'm with you man, let's riddle this retarded-ass "news" item with the human interest stories. my grandma just had her 2nd full-knee replacement done. she'd recommend it in an instant. i ran her down yesterday and all she could say was "it is awesome. and i mean AWESOME!". damn harry, has the definition of 'cool' really gotten this pedestrian? i'm counting on you to let us all know what the rock thinks of his trailer at the set and who the caterer is...
-
Doesn't anyone know how to fight anymore? You and your video camera would not make Bruce Lee proud. Bruce Lee would have went Waaaa!!! Ewoooo!! Smack! punch! kick that sucurity guard in to the asphalt and he would have no problem letting you ask The Rock some questions. I recommend Enter The Dragon as inspiration.
-
I don't get it. Is it that everybody has forgotten about "The Killer" and "Hard Boiled?" You bitch you tits off about Paul W. S. Anderson and "Resident Evil," so when they at least hire an action director with chops to do "Spyhunter" there's all sorts of bad-mouthing John Woo? Get a tighter grip on your horses, fellas.
-
And for those that liked "Rundown," about half of the descent shots in that movie were straight rip-offs of John Woo.
-
what the fuck is he saying NO for? does he have something else lined up thats gonna boost his career to icon status? I swear I mean WHAT THE FUCK,
-
I am all for Welling getting the part of Superman. I hope he takes it, but what I doubt they will cast the lois on the show as the lois in the movie. What about Lex?!? Would this new Superman movie be a continuation of Smallville? Probably not. It could lead to all kinds weird continuaity problems. I just don't believe that Singer wants to make a Smallville movie. Better to cast a grown up Superman, but seeing a Welling Supes would be excellent.

I agree for the most part though I think the Rock has earned the right to turn up anytime and be welcome(esp when he brings the guitar).He is a all time great in wrestling period though things have changed.I think Randy Orton fills the cocky superstar role and wouldn't mind seeing that match up.However,Rock would put him over like he did Brock and thats why he can't be full time.Hogan had to pass the torch to Rock and he deserved the win because as far as sports entertainment(not wrestling as such) goes he is todays king(though Hogan proved he is the master as he stole his heat right back,funny stuff Rock gave him a look that said "you sly W**ker").But it proved like when he fought Brock and Austin that when push comes to shove the crowd will always turn on him rather than his opponent because like you said We can see through certain things(besides it's good for him it keeps him in che(ck)(que) :>.Yes he is a crappy good guy he is better being the Rock(arrogant).Undertaker=not looking foward to him vs Bradshaw and i could go for a walk and he still wouldn't have got to the ring.oh yeah that paul bearer thing was silly too.HHH has redeemed himself a lot with some good matches since the run up to WXX (though he annoyed for a good few years poor Booker,Poor Kane)but i i'll believe if Eugene pins him at Summerslam.Although I am a Eddie fan i am looking for a Angle win..........Spy hunter= good luck Rock.Time to pull those socks up..No,this wasn't news but it was a good excuse cheers Harry ;>

Bitch!

w/ Paul Anderson or Ashton Kutcher as the robot
They're just as stiff and useless...

In all serious, how can you not give the man props for "Superfreak"?

There's a joke in there somewhere..

Where you been?...Scorpion King sucks, Rundown is kind of cool, but until I see more of his work I still ain't convinced Dwayne is the next big action star. For all we know Rundown could have been a fluke, though I certainly hope not. As for John Woo, I like Face/Off and even MI so I can forgive him for Broken Arrow. Not seen Windtalkers or Paycheck, should really rent them out sometime...
-
Strangely, I wish the security guard would've laid the smack down on this "spy's" candy ass. Did you ever think that Dwayne didn't want to be bothered by your slobbering ass? Leave the man alone, you talked to him once already. Damn...
-
A big steaming pile of shit. Ahh, yeah, baby.
-
They should have kicked this loser's ass. What kind of dipshit tries to sneak out back to get close to the Rock? Get a life.
-
Big Daddy would of eaten the rock for breakfast with chants of eeasy, eeeasy, eeeasy, eeeasy from the frenzied crowd. Giant Haystacks, well he would of used Dwain to wipe his ass after eating Big Daddy for breakfast. (See Uk wrestling history, I'm sure you'll agree)

Can you trust the opinion of redneck wrestling fans who call THE ROCK WHO CANNOT ACT "The Great One"?
