When I first heard that The Rock was starring in the Disney movie Race to Witch Mountain, I didn’t know anything about it other than the fact that it was going to be another PG family-friendly flick. It seems like this is ultimately the direction he wants to take his career in, which is unfortunate, because I don’t have much interest in stuff like The Game Plan even though I know there’s an audience for it.

The trailer for Witch Mountain just arrived online though, and I actually think it looks like fun. There aren’t enough of these adventure movies for kids nowadays, and at the very least, this doesn’t seem like complete garbage. Granted, most of The Rock’s lines in the trailer were barely funny, and this is yet another Hollywood remake (the original Escape to Witch Mountain was released back in 1975). But still, overall, I’d have to say it might be decent for what it is. You can check out the trailer below or watch it in HD over at Yahoo!. Race to Witch Mountain hits theatres on March 13th, 2009.
