The Rock Says Patience For Spy Hunter

By Garth Franklin Tuesday August 23rd 2005 04:14PM

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has urged patience on the part of fans who keep asking him about the upcoming movie "Spy Hunter," based on the hit video game.

Talking with MTV, the action star promised that the movie will be made and that the right people are working on developing it. "'Spy Hunter' is going great. We've got Stuart Beattie who's writing it right now, who wrote 'Collateral' as well as 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' so he's a great writer, he's got a great take on it. 'Spy Hunter' is one of those movies that we announced almost two years ago and everybody who I run into is like, 'Where's 'Spy Hunter?' It's one of those movies that you cannot get wrong. That's why it's so important that the writing is right, the feel, the tone is right. You see the car, you see [my character] Alec Sects. So it's going to be the real deal once it's done."

The star also said no one else had been cast yet: "Not yet -- just myself and the car, the Interceptor. And that thing is bad. We've already seen some early drawings of it and early renditions of it on video. It just jumps off a cliff, turns into a boat, then into a motorcycle when it comes back on land. It's badass".

Thanks to 'A' & 'Scott'.
