Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Dwayne Johnson is having the most interesting, bizarre career. He goes from DOOM to SOUTHLAND TALES to GRIDIRON GANG to GET SMART to a remake of ESCAPE FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN.

It seems he's filling the role Eddie Albert played, except he'll be driving a Taxi (A Vegas taxi no less... I wonder if it'll have 30 strip club advertisements on it and have little booklets with coupons for lap dances and all you can eat seafood buffets like the real cabs in Vegas?) instead of a badass Winnebago.

I haven't really revisited the WITCH MOUNTAIN series since I was teenager, but I loved them as a kid. Don't know what I think of this casting other than I have a large amount of disinterest. I don't know if it's just because the film is a remake or that The Rock will play a Vegas cab driver instead of an old widower as in the original or if I just have a disconnection from the original entirely. What about you?
