Wrestling Digest, Oct, 2001

It looks like "The Mummy Returns" and "The Scorpion King" are just the beginning for Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson. The Rock said Dimension Films is pursuing him to play the lead character in a movie version of the video game Duke Nukem.

"They want to make that a huge franchise, and from what I hear, they want me," he said in the June issue of Movieline.

He said he'd want to collaborate on the script and would want it to be realistic. "I'm not going to be running up a tree or anything, like in `Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,'" he said.
