The Rock and Ryan Reynolds in Blowback
I have become a believer in the careers of both The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) and Ryan Reynolds. Actually, I really like both of them in the movies I've watched them in so far. So I found this little bit of news quite exciting.
The two young stars are teaming up in a new cop film called "Blowback" which is being headed by the same production team that brought us Wedding Crashers. I think this has "hit" written all over it. The good folks over at FIlmfodder give us this:
"Blowback" is a "modern-day 'Lethal Weapon'" focusing on two San Francisco police officers.Oh yeah baby... sign me up. I'm all for brainless fun in action/comedy films. This is the dream cast some a project like this. I already can't wait.Johnson and Reynolds are both enjoying burgeoning film careers. Johnson, the former WWE wrestler, has played up his cocked-eyebrow charisma in "The Rundown" and "Walking Tall." Reynolds received surprising accolades for "Blade: Trinity," and his starring turn in 2002's "Van Wilder" earned him an unexpected frat-loving cult audience. On top of all this, the production team behind "Wedding Crashers" will oversee "Blowback," so we could be witnessing the beginning of an edgy action-comedy franchise.

I heard on the radio that they will be playing gay cops. Not sure if it's true. Could be funny.
