Disney Animation is developing a new film with Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson inspired by the monster truck competition – “Monster Jam”.
Details about the film, which was announced at D23 204, are unknown other than the fact that it is currently being filmed. But Johnson told the crowd, “We have an opportunity here to create something that is immersive and cool and fun, and also a live-action experience for our families around the world, from the perspective of these incredible, iconic monster trucks and their very eccentric and crazy drivers. Ladies and gentlemen, Monster Jam is going to be one hell of a ride.”
This is of course typical Dwayne Johnson hype, but The Rock doesn’t just talk the talk, he also makes sure to, er, walk the talk.
“I’m so excited to share this news with you guys. As you know, I’m a pickup truck man. That’s all I drive. I drove here in my pickup truck. It’s in the back. You know that, and I love motorsports, love monster trucks,” Johnson also told the crowd.
Johnson was also there to announce Moana 2, in which the action star danced on stage to tribal drums. You can read more about it here.
