New trailer: Dwayne Johnson as UFC fighter Mark Kerr in The Smashing Machine

An almost “unrecognizable” Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson is the focus of a new trailer for his upcoming movie The Smashing Machine that dropped on YouTube on Tuesday morning. Johnson plays Mark Kerr, a star of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) when the mixed martial arts phenomenon was in its infancy. The movie is directed by Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems), based on his own script crafted from Kerr’s own true story. It was filmed in and around Metro Vancouver from May to July 20
