Deadline.com announced that Dwayne Johnson has signed to star in the upcoming Breakthrough movie from studio A24.
The movie plot according to Deadline says that it’s “set in turn-of-the-millennium Southern California where the story follows an alienated young man who comes under the influence of a motivational guru, whose intoxicating charm masks his morally questionable methods of manipulation and his own concealed darkness.”
It is based off a screenplay by Zeke Goodman. No director has been attached to the project yet and no other co-stars were announced either.
Johnson and A24 have already done business together with The Smashing Machine, which comes out in theaters nationwide in October.
