Disney is developing a new movie with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson inspired by monster truck competition — “Monster Jam.”
Announced at D23 2024, details about the film — aside from the fact that it’s shooting right now — remain unknown. But Johnson told the crowed, “We got an opportunity here that we could create something that is immersive and cool and fun, and also a live-action experience for our families all around the world, from the POV of these incredible, iconic monster trucks and their very eccentric and crazy drivers. Ladies and gentlemen, ‘Monster Jam’ is going to be a heck of a ride.”
That is, of course, standard-issued Dwayne Johnson hype-building — but The Rock doesn’t just talk the talk. He also made sure to emphasize he, uh, drives the walk.
“I’m so excited to break the news to you guys. As you guys know, I’m a pickup truck man. That’s all I drive. I drove my pickup truck here. It’s out back. You guys know that, and I love motorsports, love monster trucks,” Johnson told the crowd.
Johnson was of course also on hand to introduce “Moana 2,” which featured the action star dancing out on stage to tribal drums as he reprises his role of Maui. You can read more about that here.
