Well, given the choice to work twice a week getting/giving assbeatings for 5 mil for a year, or go Hollywood and make two movies a year at 10-15 mil a movie (hell, even Rock might be asking for 20 mil now), for a total shoot time of maybe 3 months for each movie, even a DUMB wrestler would make that move based on those criteria. I do think he was a better action star than Stone Cold Steve Austin, but Hollywood is just absolute shyte right now, with nothing but remakes on the horizon ....

War of the Worlds
Willie Wonka
King Kong

Sensing a trend here ???? Its getting old fast, and I haven't seen a movie since the last LOTR. Rock isn't going to change that, altho he will take the money and run after doing Doom (LoL) .. Doom .. a movie .. bahahahahaaaaa

Rock is not too bad of an actor. He has a good look and has charisma and should be fine in those movies. I figure he would have been the next big action star but he's branching out to other genres.


I guess Diesel is the only big action star out there?? I can't think of anyone else.

I agree, he's a better actor than I thought he was going to be. Rock has got a good screen presence.
