Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt to reteam for ‘Ball and Chain’
    2020-05-08  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

AFTER partnering on Disney’s “The Jungle Cruise,” Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt will reteam for a new movie from “The Big Sick” co-writer Emily V. Gordon.

The duo are attached to star in “Ball and Chain,” an adaptation of the 1990s comic of the same name, which Gordon will adapt. The project is being described as a superhero story meets “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” where a couple struggling in their marriage are equipped with superpowers. However, their powers only work when they’re together.

The high profile package was shopped around with interest from multiple studios, but is looking likely to land at Netflix. Still, no deals are done.

Johnson will produce under his Seven Bucks banner with Dany and Hiram Garcia. Kevin Misher, who worked with Johnson and Seven Bucks on “Fighting With My Family,” will also produce, along with Gordon and Blunt.

Blunt and Johnson were set to hit theaters with “The Jungle Cruise” on July 24, though the release was pushed back a year by Disney due to theater closures. The studio will now open with “Mulan” on July 24.

Johnson will next be seen in Netflix action movie “Red Notice,” opposite Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds. He is also set to star in the long delayed DC feature “Black Adam.”

Blunt stars in “A Quiet Place II,” which was pushed to a September release after having to postpone its March theatrical debut. Gordon most recently worked on Amazon TV+ series “Little America.”(SD-Agencies)
