Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart to Team Up for CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE

Dwayne Johnson ("Hercules") and Kevin Hart ("Ride Along") will star in the upcoming comedy "Central Intelligence" which will be directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber ("We're the Millers"). The film will follow a high-school sports star turned accountant who is contacted by a classmate (Johnson) he used to bully and humiliate. The former classmate has now become a CIA contract killer who lures the accountant into a dangerous mission involving the trading of classified military secrets. The film is produced by Ed Helms ("The Hangover") and the script has been written by Ike Barinholtz and Dave Stassen, with rewrite duties to be handled by Thurber and Sean Anders.

It's not hard to see how the talent involved in the making of this film is a surefire recipe for success. Thurber's previous film, "We're the Millers" grossed aprox. $270 million worldwide, Johnson's popularity is on the rise with his roles in the "Fast & Furious" franchise and his recent epic adventure film "Hercules" grossed $242 globally, while Hart himself scored a surprising $134 million domestically with the action comedy "Ride Along", where he teamed up with Ice Cube.

Filming on "Central Intelligence" is expected to begin in the spring.
