CS reports that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will star in a live-action adaptation of Zenescope Entertainment’s comic book series The Monster Hunter’s Survival Guide. The film will be produced by Simon Kinberg (X-Men: First Class) via his Genre Films ventures.
The series by John Paul Russ is described on the back of the book: “Monsters surround us. They’re everywhere; on TV, in movies… they haunt our nightmares. But are they real? Do Vampires, Werewolves, and Zombies really exist? And if so, how can we survive against them? At last here is the comprehensive guide every Monster Hunter must have! Whether you’re a weekend Bigfoot hunter or a hardcore Vampire slayer you simply can’t afford not to own this book. The Monster Hunters Survival Guide will not only instruct you on how to be the first to catch one of these mysterious Cryptids – but it’s the only way you’ll be able to survive the experience!”
With The Rock back on top of the action movie pile, thanks to Faster and Fast Five this year, let’s hope that this is the movie that keeps him there. Then again, we do have that Journey 2: The Mysterious Island coming up…
