    'The Rock' to Play Warrior King

    By THE ASSOCIATED PRESSFiled at 1:01 a.m. ET

    HONOLULU (AP) -- He played an ancient warrior in the action film ``The Scorpion King,'' and now The Rock says he wants to play Hawaii's most famous warrior-king, Kamehameha the Great.

    A movie about the warrior who united the islands into the Kingdom of Hawaii would be the first feature film based on the life of a Hawaiian king.

    The World Wrestling Entertainment star, also known as Dwayne Johnson, said last week that he's working on a deal to play King Kamehameha, who ruled from 1795 to 1819.

    ``Sony Pictures has just purchased the rights and (the project) will be in development for myself to play King Kamehameha in a movie based on his life,'' he said.

    Steve Elzer, spokesman for Sony-owned Columbia Pictures, confirmed preliminary plans for a movie, but said no agreements have been made.

    ``We have had some discussions with The Rock and his people but there is no deal yet, and nothing we can talk about,'' he said Friday.
