The Rock Gets A New Look In Latest FAST 8 Photo
If there’s one thing that the Fast And Furious franchise has achieved in its 15-year history, it is its ability to take a seemingly rigid character or philosophy, embrace it and mold it into an evolution of itself that works in the most interesting of ways. That especially seems to be an underlying theme when it comes to the lawmakers and lawbreakers, namely actor Paul Walker at the time in the role of undercover officer Brian O’Connor on a mission to bring lead actor Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto to justice.
EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK: #HOBBS #F8
When you strip a man of all he has. All that’s important to him. You force him to return to his roots.. and sometimes that’s a very dangerous and twisted place.
If I was going to return for another Fast & Furious I wanted to come in and disrupt the franchise in a cool way that got fans fired up and their blood pumping to see a new version of Hobbs and his “Daddy’s gotta go to work” mentality and set the table in a cool way for where the character goes in the future.
Maybe it’s a spinoff movie. Maybe it’s more #FF movies. Or hell maybe Hobbs just gets on his motorcycle and rides off into the sunset never to be seen again.
Either way, I’ve had a solid first week of shooting, good to be back with the ohana, good to work again w/ my bud and director F. Gary Gray and our home studio of Universal Studios Entertainment, as always have been the best partners to me and my Seven Bucks Productions team. Most importantly… you guys around the world will really dig this new version of the role, ’cause as we always say, disrupters dent the universe.

Johnson himself has been piling up with his Seven Bucks banner greatly. Universal Pictures is housing Johnson’s forthcoming movieverse franchise for The Janson Directive along with a sequel to San Andreas and a foray into television called Boost Unit to name a few. Indeed, he’s got his work cut out for him, but I don’t think people will be too dissonant over a “Hobbs” franchise if it got one. Clearly Johnson has earned his appeal with this franchise and I’m sure fans will support him nonetheless.
