The Rock Will Teach the ‘Monster Hunter’s Survival Guide’
Talk about irony. My friend and I were literally just talking about how irrelevant Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has become (noting his return to the WWE), and then today I have my statements thrown right back in my face.
Dwayne Johnson has become attached to star in Monster Hunter’s Survival Guide, a live action adventure film based on the comic book miniseries by John Paul Russ that was published by Zenescope Entertainment, says Deadline.
“The book series is a comprehensive guide to hunt monsters, the undead and unnatural beasts, and survive the confrontations.”
Johnson is in production on G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation, playing the character Roadblock, and then follows with the Ric Roman Waugh-directed Snitch, playing a man who turns DEA informant to reduce his son’s prison sentence. 
A stuntwoman, stunt coordinator and actor, Zöe Bell (Kill Bill, Death Proof) is set to make her feature directorial debut with the thriller Free Fall, Variety has reported this morning.
Zachary Levi (Shazam) will star in the upcoming film. From XYZ Films, Free Fall “tells the story of a father’s attempt to reconcile with his estranged daughter on a rock-climbing trip that turns deadly as an accident leaves them stranded hundreds of feet in the air.”
Sean Finegan and Gregg Maxwell Parker wrote the screenplay.
“This script is the perfect combo of heartfelt and heart-stopping,” Zöe Bell said in a statement shared by Variety. “Between the producing team, the cast and the New Zealand crews, words don’t do justice to how thrilled I am to be bringing this film home.”
Producers Tom Hern and Nua Finau said, “We are stoked to be teaming up with the guys at XYZ again to help bring Zoë Bell’s feature debut to the world. Zoë’s an incredible talent and an iconic Kiwi. The script sets the table not only for her renowned action direction chops, but also plenty of heart and humanity.”
Navid McIlhargey and Erik Olsen are executive producing alongside Finegan, Parker and Levi.
As a stunt performer and stunt coordinator, Zöe Bell has worked on “Xena: Warrior Princess,” Kill Bill, Catwoman, Iron Man 3, Thor: Ragnarok, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Bell became a household name after essentially playing herself in Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, and she can also be seen in Angel of Death, The Hateful Eight and Malignant.
