According to a new report, Dwayne Johnson is getting ready to lead an elite SEAL team in battle against the supernatural. SEAL Team 666 is based on a 2012 novel from Weston Ochse:
"Weston Ochse's SEAL Team 666 follows Cadet Jack Walker. Halfway through SEAL training, he's still green but showing incredible promise when he's whisked away to join four SEALs—and their dog—for a special ops mission. Walker soon finds himself in a whirlwind of otherworldly creatures and events as he finds out the true nature of this “special ops” team: SEAL Team 666. Battling demons, possessed humans, mass-murdering cults, and evil in its most dark and primeval form, SEAL Team 666 has their work cut out for them. And it’s not long before they realize that the threat isn’t just directed against the U.S.—an ancient and deadly cult has bigger plans, and Walker is at the center of a supernatural conflict with the entire world at stake."
The Hollywood Reporter broke the news of Dwayne Johnson's involvement, which includes him also coming on board as an executive producer. The script was written by Evan Spiliotopoulos, who also wrote the upcoming Hercules movie that stars Johnson. Don't get too excited to see this movie yet, as it is still in the early stages of development and a director has not boarded the project. We'll be sure to updated readers when more information becomes available.
