I never though that I would see the day where I was writing around a story where Mary Poppins has been cast in a film opposite a WWF, sorry, WWE wrestler. Well, that day has come as yes, Julie Andrews will star opposite Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in the new family comedy THE TOOTH FAIRY.
Ashley Judd is also in the cast for the film, which starts filming in October.
The Hollywood Reporter says that the film centers on Derek Thompson (Johnson), a minor-league hockey
player whose nickname is the Tooth Fairy because of his ability to
knock out opposing players' teeth. Judd plays his girlfriend.
Andrews will play Lily, a high-ranking, acerbic
supervisor with the Tooth Fairy Department charged with overseeing
Derek's stint as a tooth fairy, so says the trade.
THE OFFICE star and co-creator (the UK version), Stephen Merchant also has a role in the film.
I can't wait to see this. I love The Rock starring family comedies. He says with a hint of sarcasm.
