The latter has not been confirmed.
“It Takes Two is getting the movie treatment, with the project now set up at Amazon for priority development, Variety has learned exclusively,” Variety’s report reads. “Dwayne Johnson, Dany Garcia, and Hiram Garcia will produce on behalf of Seven Bucks. According to sources, Dwayne could also star in the film, but nothing is official as of now.”
