Dwayne Johnson announced in a video posted on his Instagram account that John Cena will be playing a lead role in the upcoming film titled The Janson Directive which will be produced by Johnson’s company Seven Bucks Productions along with Universal Studios.
“Congrats man and I’m excited to go on this journey with you. Thank you for your commitment to the role and remember, as your producer if you screw up, I’m coming to set and droppin’ the People’s Elbow on ya,” Johnson wrote on Instagram. “And you know first hand how devastating my elbow drops can be??? Congrats my friend and let’s go make a good one.”
The Janson Directive will be an action thriller film which originally had plans to star Dwayne Johnson as the lead but he had to move to just producing because of his tight filming schedule. The film is based on the novel of the same name written author by Robert Ludlum and will star John Cena in the lead who, after leaving covert operations due to the high number of sanctioned serial killings, goes into business as private security consultant. Teamed with a sharpshooter, Janson only takes assignments that he believes will lead to helping those in need.
