Move over John Wayne, there's a new Duke in town. At least that's what producers of the video game turned live action movie hope anyhow.

Various reports indicate that the producers of Duke Nukem have offered the role of the burly mercenary bent on world salvation to "The Rock." A wrestler by trade, it was not immediately known if "The Rock" is interested in another film role. He has two projects in the works, The Mummy Returns and the prequel to The Mummy, The Scorpion King which features "The Rock" in the titular role.
