Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Wants King Kamehameha Film
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is hoping to get his new Hawaiian Braveheart movie started this year.
The 38-year-old has been planning the new movie about King Kamehameha for the past seven years, in what he describes as the Hawaiian version of the classic flick Braveheart.
He added:'I'm considering calling Mel Gibson to look at the material. It's a very special story to me. King Kamehameha is special to Hawaii like William Wallace is to Scotland.'
'One of my favorite historical figures is William Wallace. I loved Mel Gibson's Braveheart and I think King Kamehameha has a lot of similar characteristics to Wallace.
'He united all the islands of Hawaii and, against all the odds, saw the bigger picture that the islands would become stronger if they became one.
'They had the same vision and fortitude to step forward and draw their own blood in the interests of their country and their people.
'King Kamehameha was one of my heroes growing up, and when I learned about William Wallace, I was drawn to him.'
