USA Today Publishes Story on John Cena, The Marine

It won't come out until Friday, but we've found a copy of the USA Today article that features insight about The Marine.

Here's it is:

Can a WWE wrestler and a Nip/Tuck tart offer moviegoers a Total Recall to the glory years of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone?

Cena on Screen

The Marine's John Cena, 29, and Kelly Carlson, 30, are ready to fill the void left by those former big-screen titans, co-starring as John and Kate Triton in the WWE-produced action adventure film opening Friday.

Like Schwarzenegger, who started out as a bodybuilding champ, Cena has a body that supersedes his acting résumé. He has wrestled with the WWE since 2002. Though he has yet to meet the Governator, he has received sage advice from wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who warned him about "the whole rocky road ahead."

Schwarzenegger and Stone proved a winning team in 1990's Total Recall. In the years following, he muscled, while she muffled, their box-office competitors. But today, Ah-nuld, 59, is governor of California, while Stone, 48, has appeared in a string of box-office bombs (Catwoman, Basic Instinct 2).

Entertainment Tonight's Leonard Maltin believes the time is right for the next big action star and femme fatale to make a splash.

"Every generation seems to have its iconic action star and sex symbol, and neither one of these needs necessarily be filled by an outstanding actor," notes Maltin. "It's the right role in the right movie at the right time that makes all the difference."

Time - and ticket sales - will tell if Cena and Carlson have staying power.
