Fans are extremely excited to see The Rock star wear long hair in the character Maui, when participating in Disney’s ‘Moana’ adaptation project.
The Rock used to voice the character Maui in the cartoon Moana
Movie fans used AI technology to dress up The Rock as Maui with a muscular body, covered with tattoos and characteristic curly hair.
It is known that the actor will return to the role he used to voice in this movie – the demigod Maui. He is also the first star confirmed to appear in this once-loved movie.
The two daughters comfortably hung around the famous father’s neck and hummed the tune of the song You’re welcome – Moana’s iconic song that made fans excited.
The actor also posed with a hook-shaped stick – Maui’s signature weapon in Moana – very funny.
The Rock shares family fun moments and reveals new role
“We are happy to announce that Moana ‘s live-action project is in the works. Playing the demigod Maui changed my life and I am honored to work with Disney to tell the story around these characters.
Besides, the film also ensures to maintain all the elements that made the original cartoon’s attraction, from music and dance to indigenous customs. Moana will focus on human values in Polynesian culture,” shared Dwayne Johnson.
Originally from Samoan, Dwayne was fortunate to be born and raised in Hawaii, so he said he deeply appreciates works that honor the value of media and Polynesian culture.
The muscular star can feel the power of the ocean and the spirit of the ancestors with the role of Maui.
The Rock has many interesting similarities with the character Maui. Both have toned bodies full of muscles, with hands as big as statues.
Ra mắt năm 2016, Moana là tác phẩm hoạt hình thành công lớn của Disney khi có doanh thu toàn cầu lên tới 682 triệu đô la Mỹ. Bộ phim là tác phẩm đầu tiên của Disney khai thác vẻ đẹp của nền văn hóa Polynesia. Tác phẩm đã nhận về hai đề cử tại Oscar 2017 cho hạng mục Phim hoạt hình xuất sắc nhất và Bài hát trong phim hay nhất.
Vậy là sau Lọ Lem, Người đẹp và Quái vật, Aladdin, Hoa Mộc Lan, Nàng tiên cá, đến lượt Moana cũng sắp được Disney chuyển thể thành live action. Được biết, Moana sẽ tập trung vào giá trị con người trong nền văn hóa Polynesia. Ngoài ra, bộ phim cũng đảm bảo đầy đủ các yếu tố âm nhạc, điệu nhảy tương tự với phiên bản gốc.
With the participation of The Rock , Moana promises to resonate more than many other adaptations, when pleasing most audiences by the appearance and tanned skin close to the animated version. The audience is also very curious about how Maui will look like when the “skinned” muscular star Dwayne has hair, in addition to information about the film’s female lead.
