Two of Hollywood’s more popular actors in Dwayne Johnson and Taylor Rautner have been offered roles in a new movie entitled ‘Goliath’.
Johnson is an ex-pro wrestler and has acted in movies like ‘Fast Five’ and ‘The Scorpion King.’ He has been asked to portray the infamous giant Goliath, with ‘Twilight’ star Taylor Lautner as the shepherd boy David.
The movie will be directed by Scott Derrickson who has previously directed ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still’ and ‘The Exorcism of Emily Rose’. ‘Goliath’ has been described as a period action movie and is said to resemble the Greek epic ‘300’.
The Hollywood Reporter says the film will portray Goliath as a fierce warrior sent to assassinate a foretold king of the Israelites. The shepherd boy David is thrust into the chase and finds himself fighting for his life and for his people.
It is not yet known whether Johnson and Lautner have accepted the roles.
