Rock & Sam J. are cops

JoBloJoBlo

If you’ve been waiting for Dwayne “Once The Rock” Johnson to ditch the kiddies and team up with someone interesting, how about Sam Jackson?

How about Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, too?

You got it. The Johnson/Jackson package is part of the comedy THE OTHER GUYS, playing a pair of “elite and cocky cops” who are the top dogs in their precinct. Ferrell and Wahlberg are the buffoonish second-rate detectives who (we can assume) will somehow inadvertently end up saving the day.

The movie starts shooting this week with Ferrell’s ANCHORMAN, TALLADEGA NIGHTS and STEP BROTHERS director Adam McKay. Brit Steve Coogan (TROPIC THUNDER, Alan Partridge) will play the villain.
