Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, “Race to Witch Mountain” director Andy Fickman, Zac Efron are teaming up for a feature film version of the cartoon classic The Adventures of Jonny QuestThe animated series (first aired in the 60s) told of a boy, 11-year-old Jonny, who accompanies his father, Dr. Benton Quest, on extraordinary adventures. Fearing Jonny could end up in the wrong hands, a special agent / bodyguard / pilot from Intelligence One Government, Race Bannon, is hired to guard and train him.
Zac Efron could possibly play the title role, with Dwayne Johnson as his Race Bannon.
‘’ I love the script, I love working with Andy...’’, Johnson tells Moviehole. “I don't know if you've read the latest [draft] but it's awesome and it's badass and I haven't read, this is what I told everyone over at Warner Bros., and I love the studio too by the way, you know, I had my experience with them with Get Smart and they were great, I hadn't read an action script like that in a LONG time. And that action was unbelievable. That will happen.’’
Johnson confirms that he’ll be Race Bannon, and that rumours suggesting Zac Efron might be Jonny Quest are on the money. Efron isn’t a lock though – and Johnson’s all ears. You see, in the source material the character is only twelve years old, but Efron’s 17. ‘’I loved Jonny Quest when I was a kid. If you go a little older, it gives you more, it allows you to be...it just gives you a bit more, you know. But then you want to honor it too, so... “

What do you reckon? Will that cast work in a Jonny Quest film? Have the Venture Brothers destroyed Johnny's chances?
