Oh, The Rock. How I miss the guy who once strutted about pounding large men and demanding his cooking be smelled, and then took those man-pounding skills to the big screen (only to deliver some sad action steamers).

Exit The Rock; Enter Dwayne Johnson, the family (and fiscally) friendly Disney star, now ostensibly headlining a follow-up to the 1975 kid-flick ESCAPE FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN. In RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN, the former geological object plays a Vegas cabbie who assists some extraterrestrial youngsters with a predilection for property damage. Kids today.

Check out the trailer out below or in HD at Yahoo.

Extra Tidbit:	The movie is directed by Andy Fickman, who hastened the devolution of The Rock's career as an action star with THE GAME PLAN.

In all fairness

I never was into WWF, and actually wanted him to drop the nickname. And this looks like the most "character" I've seen him do, albeit in kid-friendly territory. And that's where things go down-hill. On the bright side it's also got Carla Gugino and Ciaran Hinds, who are both at least decent in everything they do, but I don't usually.watch kid-friendly live-action entertainment unless there's a kid in the room with me. Or I'm bored and something's on HBO. Oh, and I don't get cable, so scratch

sigh

I love The Rock and Carla Gugino makes me tingle all over every time i look at her. But man I miss when the Rock was doing solid action movies. Guess I'll just watch the Rundown and cry

I'm with Miguel. Looks like a blast. With the exception of maybe that Power Ranger-ish villian...

I used to love the original 2 films when I was a kid, and when I saw the title of this article in the index I wasn't really expecting it to have a connection to the originals.

I was gladly mistaken.

I was never a big fan of WWF...infact, I was never a fan at all, but I have seen a fair few of "The Rock"s films, and enjoyed some of them as mindless action flicks.

This looks great though. It still has a connection with the original films, but is much more modern.

I'll be watching this
