Washington, February 17: `The Rock' a. k. a Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron might team up to star in the onscreen adaptation of 1960s animated classic `The Adventures Of Johnny Quest'.

Wrestler-turned-actor Johnson confirmed he would be playing the role of Race Bannon, the special agent who protects and train Johnny Quest, an 11-year-old who tags along with his doctor dad on incredible adventures.

"I don''t know if you''ve read the latest (draft) but it''s awesome and it''s badass and I haven''t read, this is what I told everyone over at Warner Bros., and I love the studio too by the way, you know, I had my experience with them with Get Smart and they were great, I hadn''t read an action script like that in a long time," Contactmusic quoted him as telling Moviehole.

"And that action was unbelievable. That will happen," he added.

Meanwhile, `High School Musical' heartthrob Efron too has been tipped to star as Johnny Quest in the Warner Bros. project.

The 21-year-old hinted he would love to be a part of the film, adding: ''''I loved Jonny Quest when I was a kid. If you go a little older, it gives you more, it allows you to be... it just gives you a bit more, you know." (ANI)
