Dwayne Johnson Confirmed to Star in THE JANSON DIRECTIVE
Back in July, it was first reported that Dwayne Johnson was set to produce and star in Universal’s adaptation of Robert Ludlum’s (the Bourne series) book The Janson Directive. Johnson has today confirmed that he’s starring in the film, while Academy Award-winner Akiva Goldsman will pen the script. Johnson tweeted, "Academy Award winner Akiva Goldsman will write the script. Let's roll... " The story follows a former consular ops agent who goes into business as a private security consultant after becoming uncomfortable with the high number of sanctioned killings as a covert operative. In his new occupation, he teams up with a sharpshooter to take on assignments that he deems worthy of aid.
Johnson most recently wrapped work on Fast & Furious 7, and while he’s expected to return for G.I. Joe 3, he’s been choosing more star vehicles for himself as of late. He’s currently filming the disaster pic San Andreas, he’ll be seen later this month as the lead in Hercules, and HBO picked up his new show Ballers to series. Johnson is one very busy man, but Janson Directive seems like a solid next step on his path towards world domination.
