The Rock and Kevin Hart to star in new big-budget film

The Rock, Dwayne Johnson, is teaming with Hollywood comedian Kevin Hart for a new action-comedy film to be produced by New Line Cinemas. “Central Intelligence”, as the working title of the announced film is, will star Rock and Hart as two ‘buddies’, according to reports.

The film will be directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, who has previously been the man behind “We’re The Millers”.

Variety reports that the movie begins with a class reunion approaching, as a former high school sports star turned accountant (Hart) is contacted by a classmate (Rock) 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.

Filming for the movie is scheduled to begin next spring.
