TNT orders reality series starring The Rock

Well, it's official: The Rock is making the move into television.

On Wednesday, TNT gave the greenlight to a new reality series starring none other than Dwayne Johnson. Tentatively titled "The Hero," the show will set about finding a "true hero" by pushing ten contestants to the brink (and beyond!) of their personal limits. The contenders will live together in a house and compete in various missions designed to "test their brains, their brawn and even their morality." (I'm thinking... "Big Brother" plus "The Expendables" minus 30 years.)

The network has ordered eight episodes, with Johnson set as host, mentor and motivator. The Fast Five star will also produce the series with his partner Dany Garcia and Ben Silverman's multimedia entertainment studio Electus.

"Dany and I couldn't be more excited to enter into our first official foray in TV production," said Johnson. " 'The Hero' speaks to everything I believe in when it comes to challenging ourselves, to becoming better people every day and to making the right choices while growing from the wrong ones."
