Amy Ryan To Chase Dwayne Johnson & Kevin Hart In ‘Central Intelligence’
Amy Ryan has booked the female lead in the Warner Bros-New Line buddy comedy Central Intelligence, which pairs Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart and has a June 2016 release date. The film centers on a mild-mannered accountant (Hart) who hears from a former classmate (Johnson) who was bullied in high school.

Rawson Marshall Thurber is directing from a script by Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen. Scott Stuber will produce through his Bluegrass Films banner.
