A new news on Pain & Gain?

From Michael?

No. There are only rumors and speculations. But like I always say....I'll believe it when I hear it from Michael.

[starscream1017]

gotta wonder what they upto.. are they planning something new? taking time off? or working to get the 3D on the DOTM Blu Ray proper.. hope we hear something soon..

[BAYsplosions!]

Well the Dark Of The Moon blu ray comes out the 30th so I'm guessing they're done with working on that.
I think that he may take a couple months off first then start working on it.
Its been described as a smaller film which will mean smaller production
so it probably wont take Michael very long to do it.
I wouldnt be surprised if you get some news within the next few weeks
or even the next month once Dark Of The Moon is officially released and they are done promoting it.

Stephen McFeely:


"...it’s a tough situation. You have a huge director who has directed a series of massive, moneymaking films that the studios would very much like for him to continue making. And it is an uphill climb for him to say, ‘You know, I’d like to grind a massive moneymaking machine to a halt for a second to make a movie about weightlifters. But I hope and believe he will."

Any news yet?

[Flyingheart]

Guess not then...

[BrunnerD]

Im curious as well, I sure hope he makes Pain & Gain first, then more Mega-Budgets, its nice to get both of the worlds in my opinion.

I hope not.. don't like this guy at all.. as an actor, or as a wrestler either, back when i used to watch wrestling as a kid..

Bay has been wanting to have Dwayne in one of his movies since Transformers.

[Ed Fuego]

For this particular movie, I think it's a great choice. He's not the greatest actor, but he does have charisma and he can be very entertaining. Plus, in a movie about body builders, who else ya gonna get? Ed Norton's a great actor, but at his biggest, he doesn't look like a body builder.

So, Marky Mark just passed on Pain & Gain.

when I think of body builders.. the 1st name that comes to mind is Terry Crews! that dude is scary & funny at the same time, think he would be a better pick..

He has quite a good taste in casting. :borat

[redqueenar]

Dwayne Johnson rocks! How exciting!

[Bayhem]

For a wrestler, Johnson is actually a pretty good actor. The fact that he took the role of Vince Vaughn's gay bodyguard in "Be Cool", (and created a memorable character, in my view) goes to show that the man is not afraid to take chances and to play against type. By the way, I think he did a damn good job in this year's "Fast Five".

I guess what I'm saying is that I like the dude and I certainly wouldn't mind seeing him in "Pain & Gain".

[Albershide]

Are you kidding me! I love Dwayne. If someone thinks that he can't act then he have to watch Be Cool. I loved Dwayne's character. I couldn't find the hilarious dance that he did at the end of the movie but here are some other great acting moments from the film.



I'm little surprised that Michael is considering famous actors for P&G. When I heard low budget movie I thought that the actors will be unknown. Now I'm even more intrigued.

Dude! This is fantastic! i love those guys! great casting indeed! Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson = awesome! XD well done Michael!

[Albershide]

Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson = awesome!

Actually Nelson said no Marky Mark.

I would love to see Vin Diesel instead, although he is busy with Riddick.

[Mr Majestic]

Dwayne Johnson was good in Fast five but his role in "Faster" was terrible, just terrible! - Dull, lifeless, flat and monotone. One of the worst 98mins of my life...

[alexsm]

I like The Rock when his characters are funny, he has charm. When he tries serious ones he is usually dull.
