I think if he wanted that he should have done it, but he went the Disney/Kurt Russell route and banked big money. Now he can still do it.... - Remlik Jul 28, 08:38
That's not the question here though. - Will Hunting Jul 28, 08:29 8
- squandered. doing Disney shit compared to being a $20 million per picture heir to Cruise/Stallone/Arnie -- nm - chuckles Jul 28, 08:30 7
  - He had the opportunities....most of us like the Rundown it seems...audiences didn't - Will Hunting Jul 28, 08:34
  - I don't think he was getting the $20 million action star offers much, thus the kiddie films. -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 08:32 5
    - because he squandered the original opportunity from Scorpion King - chuckles Jul 28, 08:34
    - it was all there for him to be that guy though. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 28, 08:34 2
      - It was, and I'm not clear why it didn't come together. But I don't think it was his lack of trying. -- nm - ty97 Jul 28, 08:34 1
        
        I don't think it was lack of effort either... - Mel Profit Jul 28, 08:36
    - Definitely not, given how much movies like The Rundown and Doom made at the BO. Even the Scorpion King only made $90M -- nm - Roger More Jul 28, 08:34
Thank God! - decline Jul 28, 08:28
I doubt he wants to be the next Schwarzenegger, as Arnold really did not do that much. Dwayne has already surpassed him. -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 28, 08:28 3
- "really did not do that much" = biggest box office action star in history -- nm - chuckles Jul 28, 08:29 2
  - maybe not. - decline Jul 28, 08:36 1
    - But the Rock wasn't the star of his two biggest movies -- nm - Roger More Jul 28, 08:39
