Hi I'm new. Just wanted to post this news article I stumbled upon. I think John Cena would make a good actor actually.

WWE Jumps to Big Screen with 'Marine'

Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Entertainment is making its first foray into the feature film ring with a project called "The Marine."

John Cena, the professional wrestler known to fans of WWE's weekly UPN series "Smackdown!" as the self-proclaimed "Doctor of Thuganomics," is in negotiations to take the title role. He would play an injured Marine who returns from combat to find his girlfriend inadvertently caught up in a kidnapping.

The $15 million feature is scheduled to begin shooting in mid-September. Sources said 20th Century Fox will distribute the film. Fox declined comment.

The film will be directed by John Bonito, the commercials veteran behind the Arena Football League 2004 campaign, featuring Jon Bon Jovi and John Elway.
