ANAHEIM, Calif., June 27 (UPI) -- Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has teased the launch of a new Youtube channel with a fake movie trailer.

The clip released during the 2016 VidCon digital-video conference in Anaheim, Calif., starts with a pair of fantasy-inspired characters discussing what secrets lie beyond the forest where they live.

After a voiceover declares that this secret has "the power to change the course of human history and challenge humanity to rethink everything," it is revealed that the characters are actually living inside Johnson's eyebrow.

"I should start a Youtube channel," the actor and former professional wrestler says after giving The Rock's signature 'People's Eyebrow' from his days in the WWE.

"Hey Rey, go ahead and call the president of the internet" Johnson continues, yelling at an off-screen assistant. "Tell him Rock's got a hell of an idea.... Yeah, it's time to change the game." A title screen then appears, announcing a July 18 launch date for the channel.

"But first Rock's gotta clear his browsing history," Johnson says jokingly to end the trailer.

According to Variety, Johnson's channel will feature the actor's own videos, a scripted action series and projects from his production company, Seven Bucks Productions that will "inspire, motivate and entertain."
