Carla Gugino is set to star opposite her Race to Witch Mountain co-star Dwayne Johnson in the action flick Faster. She will be replacing Salma Hayek who was originally cast as the female lead in the film that will mark Johnson’s return to darker material. As of late he’s been doing more family oriented projects, but Faster is a different kind of animal.
Oscar nominee Salma Hayek and Taken star Maggie Grace are ready to play with the big boys in their next feature film. Both actresses are attached to star alongside Dwayne Johnson and Billy Bob Thornton in the action flick, Faster. According to Variety, one of these ladies has already signed on the dotted line, while another is in final negotiations.
Billy Bob Thornton will face off against Dwayne Johnson in the upcoming action thriller Faster, according to Variety. The actor has been cast in the revenge action flick that will be directed by George Tillman, who did the biopic Notorious earlier this year. The last time we saw Billy Bob it was in the blockbuster Eagle Eye, so lets see what his new role has to offer.
The man behind the hip hop biopic Notorious has landed a directing gig with Dwayne Johnson. According to Variety, George Tillman Jr. will helm the action thriller, Faster with Johnson attached as the lead. The film will be produced by CBS Films, who originally had Gridiron Gang helmer Phil Joanou on tap to direct.
