It will be VERY interesting to see if there is a public disclosure or a leak of a contract being signed. That will be the sign if this is a short term thing to help plug his upcoming Fast and the Furious movie or if this indeed is something long term.
I'm torn as to what's going on. On the one had he sure made it SOUND like this wasn't a one month deal. On the other hand I can't see why Dwayne Johnson would want to do such a thing, other than a fact he misses the business.
The fact is, it'd take a HUGE contract to lure him in no? I mean he's about to come out with an action movie that looks pretty good and he's a bona fide B-List movie star that can headline the kind of movie that will go #1 in the box office on a down week.
WWE Films are in shambles and an embarrassment so unless there were guarantees they'll put real money into it a film i.e. at least $50 million, he shouldn't touch that with a ten foot poll. While HHH is making the Chaperone, the Rock is chilling out with the Hollywood elite.
Pretty much to bring him in here's what I think he'd command...
1) A major yearly salary in the $5 to $7 million range.
2) IF he did any WWE Films, a cut on the profits (10%?)
3) A cut on merchandise sales
