Walker Joins The Rock On 'Helldorado'

[Wednesday, July 17th, 2002]
Christopher Walken will star opposite Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in Universal Pictures' untitled action-adventure project (aka "Helldorado") for director Peter Berg, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

Additionally, Seann William Scott, who starred in the studio's "American Pie" and its sequel, "American Pie 2," is also in negotiations to join.

The project is a modern tale about a bounty hunter (Johnson) who travels to a town named Helldorado in the Amazon jungle to settle a debt. But when he realizes his target -- who would be played by Scott -- isn't the bad guy he thought he was, the two join forces to search for hidden riches in the area.

Waken will play Helldorado's evil kingpin Bloomocks.

The project begins shooting Sept. 20.
