Set Pics Show Off The Rock In New Film Lizard Music

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is starring in the new film Lizard Music, and the first set pics show him off as The Chicken Man. Bennie Safdie’s latest film has moved production to New York City, and Page Six posted pics from the shoot to social media as you can see below.

Johnson is teaming up with Safdie again for the film after they last worked together on The Smashing Machine. As noted, the film has a Christmas Day 2027 release date set.

The film stars Theo Clark Leber, The Rock, Tim Heidecker, Alicia Alicia Silverstone, and Regina Hall with Colman Domingo, Jeff Goldblum, Rachel McAdams, and David Krumholtz all cast in voice roles. The film is based on the book of the same name by Daniel Pinkwater and is describes as follows:

Lizard Music follows a boy (Theo Clark Leber) left to his own devices who stumbles upon a secret late-night broadcast of lizards playing otherworldly music, and a hidden door to the extraordinary swings open. His search for answers leads him to an eccentric and whimsical old man nicknamed The Chicken Man (Dwayne Johnson) and his beloved companion, an 85-year-old chicken named Claudia – the boy and the old man become kindred spirits who find each other at just the right time.
