The Rock Reveals Hobbs and Shaw Wrapped Production
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson revealed in a post on his Instagram account this weekend that Hobbs and Shaw has wrapped principal production. You can check out his Instagram post below.
The Rock wrote in his update: “Last men standing. HOBBS & SHAW is officially wrapped. Easily the most challenging film I’ve ever produced and starred in, however based on the fans’ insanely hyped “break the internet” reactions to our first trailer — this film is also shaping up to be my most rewarding. A HUGE bald and brotherly MAHALO to the man who trusted me and our chemistry and “pushed all his chips in” to make something bad ass and fun for the fans. My uso @jasonstatham. He’s one legit talented and tough bastard and the pure joy I got from making him laugh so fucking hard during the our takes he couldn’t even talk, I will always remember with evil glee. Finally, one of the best heli pilots in the world @fred_north demonstrating here our extreme commitment we all had to deliver the goods to our worldwide audience.”
The upcoming spin-off arrives in theaters on August 2. The film stars Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Idris Elba, Vanessa Kirby, Roman Reigns, Eddie Marsan, Eiza Gonzalez, Cliff Curtis, Josh Mauga, John Tui and Helen Mirren. It was directed by David Leitch from a script by Chris Morgan. It arrives in theaters on August 2. Here’s a synopsis:
“Ever since hulking lawman Hobbs (Johnson), a loyal agent of America’s Diplomatic Security Service, and lawless outcast Shaw (Statham), a former British military elite operative, first faced off in 2015’s Furious 7, the duo have swapped smack talk and body blows as they’ve tried to take each other down.But when cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton (Idris Elba) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever — and bests a brilliant and fearless rogue MI6 agent (The Crown’s Vanessa Kirby), who just happens to be Shaw’s sister — these two sworn enemies will have to partner up to bring down the only guy who might be badder than themselves.”
