Overwhelming fan response for 'The Smashing Machine' trailer
The former UFC Heavyweight Tournament -winner Mark Kerr, the role of MMA Pioneer, plays Johnson in the coming A24 Biopic 'The Smashing Machine'.
The film, which is released on 3 October, follows the story of Kerr who navigates his career in UFC and Pride, as well as opioid addiction and his rocky relationship with his girlfriend Dawn Staples, played by Emily Blunt (a quiet place, Edge or Tomorrow).
Johnson had a considerable transformation for the role with a set of hair and facial prostheses, with the new trailer fans begging for more.
“Finally a serious movie from The Rock. It looks fantastic,” said a fan on the trailer.
“To be honest, the make -up department did well here,” wrote another fan about Johnson's again conceived appearance. “Usually films will let an actor play someone from real life, but they try not to make the actor look like the person. This is a real filmmaking here.”
“Finalllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy The Rock gets gold!” said a fan.
“The rock looks completely unrecognizable. Good for him because he finally steps out of the white shirt and typical comfort zone roles that he usually always does,” wrote another fan.

“Finalllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy The Rock gets gold!” A fan has responded.
