BoboBrazil 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 The Rock has signed on to star in the New Line Cinema feature film "Instant Karma," according to Variety. The film will tell the story of a safecracker, played the Rock, who dies and is reincarnated as a series of different animals, moving his way up the food chain. Others signed to appear in the film are Pierce Brosnan, Mira Sorvino, David Alan Grier and Eartha Kitt while Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, Gene Wilder and the comedy troupe Broken Lizard are signed to voice the animals in the film. The film is set to begin production in New Orleans in April 2004, which means The Rock could technically be available for Wrestlemania XX, depending on pre-production responsibilities.

iliketurtles 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 This movie likes somewhat of a funny comedy, but Rock as a heel in Bond would be EXCELLENT. Rock needs action movies, not comedy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jester 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Ok Rock, you have three choices. 1. Return to WWE, go to Raw, and likely get saved from Randy Orton beatdowns by Shane, and back him up during tag matches. 2. Return to WWE, go to Smackdown, and be involved in angles that revolve around feces. 3. Be in a movie where you get reincarnated as different animals. As bad as this movie sounds, let's face it. He made the right choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Duncan Eternia Report post Posted October 14, 2003 OK I had an idea for this movie. The Rock dies and comes back as a little bug. Then get stomped and we here hear a horrible honking laugh, the camera goes up to show HHH mashing the bug into the ground and shaking his head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
