Midway presents part one of this absolutely mind-bending interview with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, in which he discusses how awesome his awesome movie-based-on-a-video-game video game is going to rock with awesomeness.
Plus, his character is going to BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF HIS CAR, which is so awesome that I might not be able to stop my boner from shattering my pants. Get ready...
Midway Gets Candid With Dwayne "THE ROCK" Johnson
– Part 1 –
THE ROCK talks about his role in Spy Hunter: Nowhere to Run and Knight Rider.
Were you a fan of the original SpyHunter?
I was a big fan of the original game. When Midway came to me with the idea, of course, we were still in the development of the movie. So my first question was how is this game going to be different? How can it compete? They said for the first time the fans of the video game Spy Hunter are going to be able to get out of the car and actually become this character who's been driving this car all this time.
So I thought, okay, how else can we compete because the video game market is so ultra competitive? How can we be creative? How can we maim and bring death to the opponents creatively with my bare hands? :)
Since your character gets out of the car for the first time in franchise history, do you think this makes SpyHunter the next Knight Rider?
Okay, well let me tell you something. Comparing Michael Knight to Alex Decker is like comparing wine to vinegar. Alex doesn't care about wearing the coolest jeans or the coolest jacket. He just has one mission, which is to hunt down spies and to kick ass like there's no tomorrow.
Are there any wrestling moves we'll recognize in the game?
Oh definitely. There's a couple of signature moves in there. For example, the rock bottom was a big finishing move for me, signature move. So we included that. There are different versions of suplexes and things that I learned from a lot of Japanese wrestlers, that if they're performed the way they're supposed to be performed, they're highly, highly dangerous. So then I just took it to another level. It's just crazy the stuff we were coming up with. And it was awesome. I saw it all back and I couldn't be happier. It was great.
Fascinating.
Wait a minute, did the Rock just dis my man Michael Knight back there? Like, wanting to wear the coolest jacket AND kicking ass like there's no tomorrow are mutually exclusive? Listen, Mr. Johnson, just because YOU can't walk and chew gum at the same time doesn't mean you have to get all up in Michael Knight's face about it. Frankly, I think Michael Knight would be happy to rip Alex Decker's pussy off and wear it like a kimono. Show THAT move to your Japanese wrestling friends, bucko!
(Dude, seriously? I actually kinda liked Doom, so get with the friggin' program!)
