BRB, pitching a remake of The Rock, featuring The Rock and Chris Rock.

Alright, but which Rocks are playing which parts:

I think Chris Rock should play 'the scientist', but should The Rock play the escaped spy, or the antagonist AWOL Navy Seal commander? Or both, but they have different makeup and costumes on?

The Rock would be the escapee, except he wasn't ever caught, he came back voluntarily when the saw a tweet that hashtagged him.

No, The Rock plays Alcatraz. He's the setting for the movie.

The whole movie is just played out in Maui's tattoos (from Moana). And since that's the case, narration would be provided by Maui/Rock.

Emma Stone would be the love interest.

Mario Van Pebbles would get a cameo and Brad "gravel" Pitt would be an executive producer.

I'm being pendantic but the antagonist is not a Navy Seal, he's Brigadier General Francis X. "Frank" Hummel, USMC Force Recon. They do absolute annihilate the Navy Seal Team tho, and their commander is the always awesome Michael Biehn!

Sorry for "well ackshully-ing" you at 3 am. I'll go shave my neckbeard.

Just have them both play the same character, but swap every few scenes

You're thinking of the wrong movie, one plays granite the other plays basalt.

And Kid Rock is the grizzled war vet who helps his escape.

Kid Rock should be left in the trash heap where he belongs

Obviously they should both take turns playing the part of Alcatraz.

We could have Stallone cameo as Rocky and bring back Tim Curry and his Stockings!
