Dwayne Johnson to play Doc Savage.

OK, I can see this. The important thing here, I think, is that Dwayne Johnson WANTS to play Doc Savage; based on conversations I’ve had with my wife* Savage is a role that you can’t just play casually.  You need to be able to go all out. I’m pretty sure Johnson can do that, and genuine enthusiasm can make up for a lot. Guess we’ll see, huh? …Eventually: it’s probably not coming out before 2018.
