10 Movie Storylines Actors REFUSED To Do
1. The Rock Says No To His Mate's Death - Rampage
If Dwayne Johnson doesn't want to do something, you better believe 'The Great One' will not be doing it, folks.
This was certainly the case back when the Hollywood superstar and WWE icon was looking over the original script for 2018's monster-boasting movie known as Rampage.
After finishing that early version of the potential film, Rocky was shocked to find that, in this particular version of the storyline, his gigantic gorilla pal George died at the end of the movie.
It turns out The Rock isn't a fan of sad endings, though. According to Johnson, when talking to Rolling Stone, life brings enough pain and sadness, so he doesn't want to provide his fans with that sort of stuff in his movies.
Not even a meeting with the higher-ups behind the picture explaining all the reasons why George sacrificing himself to save the world was a good call for the film could convince the megastar.
In his words, "There’s a crocodile the size of a football stadium – we’re not making Saving Private Ryan."
Pretty tough to argue with that statement.
In the end, Rocky actually threatened to back out of the project altogether unless the storyline was altered to have George avoid biting the dust, ultimately ensuring the albino ape survived to the very end of the massive beast action.
