Dwayne Johnson to Star in Snitch
Now, here’s an action thriller you’re going to love – Snitch! I’m sure you already know that New Line is behind this project, and that Ric Roman Waugh is in charge for directing the whole thing.
But he’s also on board for rewriting the script originally written by Justin Haythe that will follow the life of “a suburban dad who goes undercover to convict a drug dealer in order to reduce his teenage son’s 30-year prison sentence.” I know you’re interested, especially now when we have Dwayne Johnson in negotiations to star in it, so continue reading for more details.
Johnson definitely looks like a perfect guy for this kind of project, and I’m sure you all agree with that. I mean, we’re talking about the true story of devoted father James Settembrino, as documented in the Frontline segment Snitch. 18-year-old Joey Settembrino was sentenced to ten years for which he was clearly unprepared (and who is?).
Dwayne Johnson in Talks to Star in Snitch Action Thriller
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is in negotiations for drug thriller Snitch rewritten and directed by Ric Roman Waugh.
New Line has been developing this project for years (since 2006) based on the script by Justin Haythe, which follows a suburban dad who goes undercover to convict a drug dealer aiming to reduce his teenage son’s 30-year prison sentence. In the real version (Frontline documentary) of the story, 18-year-old Joey Settembrino was sentenced to ten years for which he was clearly not ready. He told his father,
I’m here, get me out, I’ll never be able to do 10 years.”
