Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson sheds goofball cocoon to emerge as serious-actor butterfly in Not Without Hope
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, the pro-wrestler-turned-Scorpion-King-turned-Fast-and-Furious-regular is taking on a new mantle: serious actor. Johnson will take the lead in a film adaptation of Nick Schuyler's bestselling memoir, Not Without Hope. Schuyler was a former college football player on a fishing trip with three of his buddies—two of whom had made it to the NFL—when their boat capsized, stranding the four men at sea.
