Recently, the speeding action vehicle that is Dwayne Johnson’s next film – Faster – screeched to a halt, opened its door and spat out Salma Hayek thanks to “scheduling conflicts” mere days before shooting was set to begin. But now the film has picked up a new passenger, with Johnson's** R****ace To Witch Mountain **co-star Carla Gugino sliding in to take her place.
Johnson is playing a former prisoner on a mission to avenge his brother’s death with a list of people he’s out to kill. Billy Bob Thornton is a police officer hot on his trail, though Variety’s report indicates that Gugino will also play a detective after the ex-con with a need to connect his killings with an old case.
Either way, we’re just happy to see Gugino get more work. With George Tillman Jr at the helm, the film’s shooting now.
