Dwayne Johnson He has become one of the most popular actors in recent years, but his career has not been free of controversies and questionable performances. Thus, The former WWE wrestler is positioned to make his leap into the dramatic world with the next film from the co-director of Uncut Gemsin a visual transformation that substantially changes how Johnson looks.
Recently, A24 shared the first official look at The Smashing machine, a biographical film of Mark Kerr, a former professional wrestler with a rather complicated life. Benny Safdie is the director of this film, which will star Johnson in the title role, and Emily Blunt as Dawn Staples, Kerr’s wife. Here we can see Johnson with hair, makeup and a series of modifications facials to resemble him as much as possible to the real person he will play.
The Smashing Machine It is based on the documentary The Smashing Machine: The Life and Times of Extreme Fighter Mark Kerrwhich shows us the life of the former MMA fighter and athlete in the UFC, as well as his addiction problems, relationships and friendships in the year 2000. When asked about his role, this is what Johnson told Variety:
“I’m at a point in my career where I want to push myself in ways I haven’t pushed myself in the past. I’m at a point in my career where I want to make films that matter, that explore a humanity, and explore the struggle [y] the pain”.
This film will mark Dwayne Johnson’s debut in the world of drama, and considering his complicated past in franchise films like Fast and Furious and the DCEU, it will be interesting to see how the actor will behave under the guidance of a director like Benny Safdie. Unfortunately, at the moment there is no release date for this film. On related topics, this is what Liam Hemsworth looks like in The Witcher. Likewise, this is the first look at Return to Silent Hill.
Author’s Note:
Any actor can make very good films, as long as he has a good director by his side. We’ve seen this with Adam Sandler, and I hope the same thing happens with Dwayne Johnson, who has probably calmed down and doesn’t want to be the center of the universe.
