Tooth Fairy News

According to Variety, Tooth Fairy is about to receive some major comedic credibility.

Billy Crystal will be making his return to live action movies for the first time since 2002's Analyze That by taking a role in the upcoming Dwayne Johnson movie. It begins shooting on Monday in Vancouver.

The film also stars Ashley Judd, Julie Andrews, Stephen Merchant and Ryan Sheckler. Johnson portrays a minor league hockey player known for loosening dental work with physical play; he is then sentenced to serve as the real Tooth Fairy for a week. It's a tough job.

The Tooh Fairy will reportedly be alive with the sounds of music.

Julie Andrews is set to join Dwayne Johnson and Ashley Judd in the 2009 Fox's family comedy Tooth Fairy.

The movie focuses on Derek Thompson (Johnson), a minor-league hockey player whose nickname is the Tooth Fairy because of his ability to knock out opposing players' teeth. Judd portrays his girlfriend.

When this athlete discourages a youngster's hope, Derek is ordered to one week's hard labor as a real tooth fairy, complete with wings, magic wand and frilly tutu. Along the way, he rediscovers his forgotten dreams.

Andrews will play Lily, a high-ranking, acerbic supervisor with the Tooth Fairy Department charged with overseeing Derek's stint as a tooth fairy.

Dwayne Johnson can't do much better than the co-star that has been announced for his upcoming 20th Century Fox comedy Tooth Fairy.

Ashley Judd has signed on for the movie, which starts shooting in Vancouver this October.

In Tooth Fairy, the former WWE star portrays a minor league hockey player nicknamed the Tooth Fairy. Judd plays his girlfriend, a single mother of two kids.

From WWE champion to Tooth Fairy.

No one can say Dwayne Johnson has taken a typical career path.

But the former wrestler has officially distanced himself from the moniker "The Rock" and has, to the surprise of many, established himself as a family-film oriented star.

Never will this be more evident than when Johnson stars as the Tooth Fairy in a movie set for a 2009 release. He was recently asked by MTV what fans should expect from it.

"Everything you can possibly imagine," the actor said of what we can expect from a comedy that casts the former WWE World Champion as an ordinary man who gets recruited to save the kingdom of dental-dependent flying fairies everywhere. "And then some!"

"If you could imagine what would be the most funniest thing you can think of, then that is was this is," the Get Smart said confidently of the upcoming movie. "We have [me being depicted] from tiny, to large, to a really messed-up wing that makes me fly into the walls.

"We've got it all."

According to Variety, Dwaye Johnson - we refuse to refer to him as "The Rock," that was his WWE persona - will star in The Tooth Fairy, a high-concept comedy that casts the actor as an ordinary man brought in to save the tooth fairy kingdom.

The Tooth Fairy begins shooting in August.

Before then Johnson, will be seen in Get Smart and Disney remake Race to Witch Mountain.
