McDonough is Walking Tall with The Rock


Neal McDonough has joined Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in MGM's updated version of the 1973 actioner Walking Tall for director Kevin Bray and Hyde Park Entertainment. The Hollywood Reporter says shooting is scheduled to start in July.

The story centers on a Tennessee sheriff (Johnson) and his one-man mission to remove corruption from his county. McDonough will play Hamilton, the main nemesis to Johnson's character and the man at the center of the corruption.
