Dwayne Johnson and Beau Flynn are re-teaming for the upcoming action-thriller Emergency Contact, set against the Austin, Texas underground music scene. The film will star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, known for his roles in Aquaman, Us, Watchmen, and The Trial of the Chicago 7. The movie is coming from a pitch from busy writing team Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani, who wrote Johnson’s upcoming superhero DC movie Black Adam.
Abdul-Mateen will executive produce, with Flynn is producing through his FlynnPictureCo., with producing partners Johnson, Hiram Garcia and Dany Garcia and their Seven Bucks Productions, who recently produced Johnson’s Disney flick Jungle Cruise. Flynn previously produced Johnson’s films Baywatch, Rampage, and Skyscraper.
The film is only described as a “high-concept, high-octane action film set in Austin,” but no further plot details are available.
It sounds like a solid group to bring this concept to life. Are you intrigued by this project?
