Can You Smell What The Rock Is Cooking?
Nobody can resist saying The Rock’s catchphrase when you look at the picture above. For those wondering what the picture is or where it’s from, it is the first image released for Michael Bay’s upcoming film Pain and Gain —yes, the movie that Paramount had to agree to produce to bring back Michael Bay for Transformers 4.
Pain and Gain is Bay’s first non-Transformers film since 2005’s The Island, so it’ll be interesting to see how he fares with a film that isn’t too heavy on visual effects, with its budget being more modest by comparison to the Transformers films.
The film centers around stars Johnson and Mark Walhberg as a pair of bodybuilders who are tangled up in an extortion ring and kidnapping scheme that goes haywire.
