Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has cooked up quite the transformation for his upcoming movie The Smashing Machine.
The Smashing Machine, written and directed by Benny Safdie, tells the story of Kerr, the troubled wrestler-turned-MMA-fighter who became an icon in the sport. The movie marks the directorial debut of Safdie, 38, who previously codirected movies Uncut Gems and Good Time with brother Josh Safdie. Once Blunt watched the documentary, Johnson recalled her calling him and saying, “You must make this movie.”“Benny wants to create, and continues to push the envelope when it comes to stories that are raw and real, characters that are authentic and at times uncomfortable and arresting,” Johnson told Variety. “I’m at a point in my career where I want to push myself in ways that I’ve not pushed myself in the past.
