A man very much in demand thanks to the action franchise THE FAST & THE FURIOUS, Dwayne Johnson has signed on for the lead in supernatural actioner SEAL TEAM 666. The film has been adapted from author Weston Ochse‘s novel by Johnson’s HERCULES: THE THRACIAN WARS scribe Evan Spiliotopoulos and follows an elite group of Navy SEALS who target the evil, otherworldly demons and spirit that threaten mankind. We’re thinking a pumped up version of MEN IN BLACK or the more recent R.I.P.D.
Here’s the book’s description comes via Amazon and gives clearer indiction of the plot.
Weston Ochse’s SEAL Team 666 follows Cadet Jack Walker. Halfway through SEAL training, he’s still green but showing incredible promise when he’s whisked away to join four SEALs—and their dog—for a special ops mission. Walker soon finds himself in a whirlwind of otherworldly creatures and events as he finds out the true nature of this “special ops” team: SEAL Team 666. Battling demons, possessed humans, mass-murdering cults, and evil in its most dark and primeval form, SEAL Team 666 has their work cut out for them. And it’s not long before they realize that the threat isn’t just directed against the U.S.—an ancient and deadly cult has bigger plans, and Walker is at the center of a supernatural conflict with the entire world at stake.
A director is currently being sought. We’ll keep you posted.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
