It will be up to director George Tillman Jr. to cast The Rock in a hardcore light following a series of movies that let fans see a ‘softer side’. George Tillman doesn’t have much in his resume related to blockbuster movies, but the newly released “Faster” trailer has shown audiences that Dwayne Johnson hasn’t lost a step and looks primed to recapture the essence of what made him such a standout in movies such as The Mummy Returns and The Scorpion King.
“Faster”, produced by CBS Films, is about an ex-con (Dwayne Johnson) set out to avenge his brother’s death after they were double-crossed during a heist. During his campaign, he’s tracked by a veteran cop and an egocentric hit man (played by Billt Bob Thornton).
Besides a strong tandem of Dwayne Johnson and Billy Bob Thornton, “Faster” also casts Jennifer Carpenter, who recently came to prominence following her role in hit TV series “Dexter”.
The “Faster” movie release date is set at November 24 2010, and one quick look at the “Faster” preview trailer gives fans a good idea of what the rock is cooking.
