The Rock is reteaming with Benny Safdie to adapt the popular Daniel Pinkwater fantasy adventure.
The Rock is about to become the Chicken Man. Dwayne Johnson is set to reteam with his Smashing Machine director, Benny Safdie, to make Lizard Music, a fantasy adventure based on the popular 1976 book by Daniel Pinkwater.
According to Deadline, which broke the news, Johnson will play the aforementioned poultry-themed character, who teams up with a young man to explore some mysterious goings-on involving music played by lizards on TV. It’s one of those books you probably read in middle school or high school that really opened your imagination, though you likely never pictured the Rock being at the center of it.
Safdie (best known for films like Good Time and Uncut Gems made with his brother) will adapt the novel and direct.
