Will David and Goliath be Taylor Lautner and The Rock?

It's not easy for a huge man made of pure muscles and standing 6'5 to get a good and powerful role in a Hollywood flick. Usually actors with this body frame end up playing cops, football players, bouncers or soldiers. Well, it looks like the Hollywood spotlight has shined for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, as he is in conversations to play the role of his career as 'Goliath' in the Hollywood film of the Biblical tale.

Twitch reports that Johnson is now in talks to star as the Giant Goliath in Relativity Media and Temple Hill Entertainment's biblical epic. This take on the classic David and Goliath story, has director Scott Derrickson (The Day The Earth Stood Still) attached and is envisioned to be in the likes of 300 in terms of style.

The word is also that an offer has been made to Twilight's Taylor Lautner to play the brave David.Twilight producers Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey are also attached to the Goliath project.

Now there are already concerns about whether or not Lautner is right for the part because he is 5'10" tall and compared to The Rock's 6'5" it's not really keeping true to the story. Obviously there will be computer generated visual FX to enhance the giantess of Goliath, but perhaps choosing an shorter actor would be wiser, also to calm down religious fanatics who are sure to voice their opinions!
