Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is taking a dramatic turn for his next film, The Smashing Machine, which is directed by Benny Safdie. Johnson said in a new interview with Variety that he feels he now wants to make more dramatic films (and also continue to make the movies that he is best known for).
“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. I’m at a point in my career where I want to make films that matter, that explore a humanity and explore struggle [and] pain,” he said.
Johnson stars in The Smashing Machine as Mark Kerr, the real-life extreme fighter known for his brutal bouts in mixed martial arts and a personal life that included drug addiction.
