AceShowbiz - Two big stars are teaming up for a movie executive produced by "The Hangover" star Ed Helms. Fresh from his appearance in action fantasy "Hercules", Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will bring out his comedic side opposite Kevin Hart in "Central Intelligence".
Per Variety, the story begins with a class reunion approaching, as a former high school sports star turned accountant (Hart) is contacted by a classmate (Johnson) who was bullied and humiliated back in the day. The "loser" that the accountant remembers is now a CIA contract killer who ropes him into helping foil a plot to sell classified military secrets.
"We're the Millers" helmer Rawson Marshall Thurber will be directing the New Line movie. Ike Barinholtz and Dave Stassen wrote the original draft which was later reworked by both John Morris and Thurber. Scott Stuber will produce through his Bluegrass Films banner, along with Peter Principato and Paul Young of Principato-Young Entertainment.
Shooting is scheduled to begin in spring. The Rock and Hart began teasing the collaboration this weekend through exchange of Twitter and Instagram. "Hardest workin' man in the room, talkin' to... the other hardest workin' man in the room," Rock tweeted to Hart.
