Suspiciously quiet of late wrestler turned actor Dwayne ‘the Rock’ Johnson is to star in a new Witch Mountain movie for Disney.

The Scorpion King star will play a Vegas cab driver who picks up two children with magical powers in the film which carries on the plot from the 1975 Escape From Witch Mountain.

There’s no word as to where the story will go as yet, the children having escaped from the mountain some 32 years ago.

Andy Fickman is slated to direct with shooting due to get underway in March next year.
