Yes, you have read well: Martin Scorsese and Dwayne Johnsontogether in a history of crime and palm trees that promises to be One of ours With Hawaiian shirts.
The film, which still lacks a title, focuses on a Hawaiian mafia boss played by his own Dwayne Johnson. It will be based on a non -fiction book that Johnson co -writes with Nick Billton, a journalist of Vanity Fair. Both are investigating the real history of The Companya criminal organization that operated in Hawaii during the 60s and 70s, led by Wilford “Nappy” Pulawa, the only Hawaiian gangsters known to date.
“The objective is not just to tell a story of gangsters, but to talk about power, identity and what was taken to the Hawaiian people,” explained Dwayne Johnson, who seems to have taken this project as something very personal. Of course, this is not Fast & Furious in Waikiki.
The story tells the brutal war against criminal gangs and powerful corporations, in a struggle to conquer the underworld and preserve his ancestral legacy. In addition, the tape has the presence of renowned figures such as Leonardo DiCaprio -habitual in Martin Scorsese’s films- and Emily Blunt.
Several studies and platforms have shown interest in production, being Netflix that seems to lead the bid, willing to disburse what translates into a budget of about 200 million dollars, similar to that of The Irish and The Moon Killer.
At this time, Dwayne Johnson reinvents himself trying to leave his image of muscles behind and become an actor with the greatest dramatic record. For this reason, he stars The Smashing Machinea proposal by Benny Safdie that is emerging as risky as original.
Martin Scorsese, who at 82 years still does not raise his foot from the creative accelerator, thus adds a new title to his collection of criminal stories, but this time in a tropical key. Of course, it should not yet get the sunbed, because the filming will not begin up to at least 2026. Before you have to finish the book, soak well of classified files and, perhaps, prevent Dwayne Johnson from lingers to mamporros in full script.
