stage Monday at the Venice Film Festival, where Dwayne Johnson, Amanda Seyfried, Kim Novak, Willem Dafoe, and Marco Bellocchio unveiled projects and shared deeply personal reflections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson premiered \u201cThe Smashing Machine,\u201d directed by Benny Safdie, in competition at Venice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Known for box-office blockbusters, Johnson said the role of 1990s wrestling star Mark Kerr allowed him to finally live his own dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI had a burning desire to see what else I could do because sometimes you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re capable of when you\u2019re typecast,\u201d Johnson told reporters. \u201cNow I live my dreams and do what I love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Johnson, the film is less about wrestling than about love and transformation.

love story between Mark and Dawn [played by Emily Blunt], and also between Mark and wrestling,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drawing from his own family history in professional wrestling, Johnson highlighted the sacrifices made by women behind the scenes: \u201cI know what it\u2019s like to see the woman you love sacrifice her life and dreams\u2026 that\u2019s what Emily represents in the film.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blunt, who prepared for her role by meeting Dwan Kerr, called the shoot \u201ca more complete spectrum of what a relationship really is, with all its highs and lows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She praised Safdie\u2019s \u201cvisceral and spontaneous\u201d filmmaking style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
