Walt Disney Pictures upcoming film THE GAME PLAN was thrown a curve when Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson injured himself preparing for the film.

Johnson was injured Monday during a football practice in preparation for his upcoming role as a professional quarterback in the movie, which was previously known as Daddy's Girl. Johnson is slated to undergo surgery Friday in Miami. Production has been put on hiatus and the studio said it will continue when he can resume his role in the film, though that will not be determined until after surgery and will have to take into consideration recovery and rehab time.

THE GAME PLAN was to be about an NFL quarterback living the bachelor lifestyle who discovers that he has a 7-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.
