– The Rock is teaming with comedian Kevin Hart for a new buddy action-comedy from New Line Cinemas. “Central Intelligence” will star Rock and Hart and will feature “We’re The Millers” director Rawson Marshall Thurber directing.
Variety reports that the movie begins with a class reunion approaching, as a former high school sports star turned accountant (Hart) is contacted by a classmate (Rock) who was bullied and humiliated back in the day. The “loser” that the accountant remembers is now a CIA contract killer who ropes him into helping foil a plot to sell classified military secrets.
Filming for the movie is scheduled to begin next spring.
Both Johnson and Hart took to Twitter to express their excitement at this latest project:
