While rumors once swirled that the Rock was set to star in Universal's DOOM adaptation, that
myth was dispelled some time

LOTR movies, you might recognize him as Eomer, the spirited prince of Rohan, but more recently he's popped up in the
Bourne Supremacy and, dare we mention, The Chronicles of Riddick. Instead of playing a nameless space marine, Urban
will star as John Grimm, the leader of a special ops team, and at some point, will "cross paths with the organization
responsible for his parents' deaths." Oh boy, let's just hope Mr. Urban has made a positive career choice…
