BoboBrazil 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 IMDB.com is reporting that The Rock will star as John Travolta’s sidekick in “Be Cool”, which is a sequel to Travolta’s 1995 film “Get Shorty”. In the movie, which they reported is scheduled to start shooting in January of 2004, IMBD reports that Rock will play “a gay bodyguard-singer who develops an alliance with Travolta's character.” … Thanks to the many people who sent that along. 1wrestling.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Austin3164life 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 I hope this isn't true. If it is, then Rock is sure going in a weird direction to prove his actor status. Stick to action flicks, Rocky.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 17, 2003 First he is a Reincarnated Animal and now a Gay Bodyguard...I was digging the fact he is in the Get Shorty Sequel with Travolta but not in this role... Besides, Wasnt the Gandolfini character in the first one gay as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ravman77 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 I've read this book (Elmore Leonard rocks!) and cant imagine Rocky playing this role. The guy is meant to be f'ing huge (and Im sure he's part Samoan too...). It would be in terms of character, much better being one of 3MW or even Rikishi.

Ripper 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 A high profile film where he could work on his acting chops is a BAD move. Really... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Yeah, he did a pretty good job with the gay-role on SNL the last time he was there. Whatever. Like someone else said, it's just a character in a movie. He probably wants to show that he is more than just an action star and this is one way of accomplishing that.

Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 17, 2003 I Agree...it's just a role I wasnt expecting... Whatever happened to the rock.Chris Tucker movie that was being talked about a year ago? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Will Smith once mentioned on David Letterman that he was scared of doing more alien movies because then that would lock him into only doing comedic sci-fi. "Oh, you got an alien movie? Send it to Will." My guess is Rock is concerned about the same thing happening regarding him and action movies. Not sure about Walking Tall, but it's pretty obvious from this far out that Spy Hunter will bomb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 17, 2003 so he is finishing up walking tall, has Spy Hunter, The Island King Movie, the Reincarated Animal movie and now the gay bodyguard movie... Busy fucker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detective Comics 0 Report post Posted October 17, 2003 Eh, maybe they can get him for one night..... have him shoot promos and then show them whenever.... and get booed like last time he came back. It would be ironic if he was to get injured during his "one time only" match. Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever gotten injured during their scheduled last match?
