At last week’s D23 Expo, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson took the stage in front of a packed house at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California to share a look at this year’s Moana 2. But his latest turn as Maui for Walt Disney Pictures Animation wasn’t the only thing The Rock had cookin’.
The Rock is suiting up for a live-action adventure set in the world of one of the most toyetic motorsports brands: Feld Entertainment’s Monster Jam.
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 gonna be a heck of a ride.”
“Together, The Rock and Monster Jam are truly ‘As Big As It Gets!,’” says Juliette Feld Grossman, CEO of Feld Entertainment, describing the film from Seven Bucks and Walt Disney Studios as “a high-octane, live-action adventure that will bring the larger-than-life Monster Jam trucks and personalities from the stadium to the screen.”
In recent years, Monster Jam has grown as a popular and evergreen brand in the toy department, led by a robust line of die-cast vehicles, playsets, and R/C from Spin Master.
More information on Monster Jam will be revealed in the months ahead.
