Inanunsyo ni Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson na gaganap siya bilang ang demigod na si Maui sa gagawing live-action movie ng Disney animated film na “Moana.”
“When I bring Maui to life, I’m doing it in the spirit of my grandfather,” anunsyo ni Dwayne sa kaniyang Instagram, na mapapanood din sa Unang Balita nitong Miyerkoles.
Ginawa ni Dwayne ang anunsyo habang nasa Hawaii kasama ang dalawa niyang anak.
“Deeply humbled to announce we’re bringing the beautiful story of MOANA to the live action big screen!” caption niya sa Instagram.
“This story is my culture, and this story is emblematic of our people’s grace, mana and warrior strength,” dagdag pa ni The Rock.
“I wear our culture proudly on my skin and in my soul, and this once in a lifetime opportunity to reunite with MAUI, inspired by the spirit of my late grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia, is one that runs very deep for me.”
Si Dwayne rin ang voice actor ni Maui sa animated film noong 2016.
Pinasalamatan naman ni Dwayne ang Disney Studios sa pagtampok ng kuwento ng mga Polynesian people sa pamamagitan ng musika at sayaw.
