Forgetting any of the other infractions being discussed in other headlines, what the production of F. Gary Gray’s Fast 8 is about this week is the sick action that awaits when the film opens next year in April. In that respect, leave it to co-star and producer Dwayne Johnson who has been on the warpath promoting the film with various bits and pieces of video from the set, including updates on what’s expected to be the prison fight scene of all prison fight scenes.
For this, we get the latest ceremonial Instagram post courtesy of Johnson, accompanied by the team led by stunt and fight coordinator J.J. Perry – best known for his work on Undisputed: Last Man Standing, The Tournament, Warrior, The Expendables 3 and Chad Stahelski’s upcoming action sequel, John Wick: Chapter Two. Might I add, I had the humbling opportunity of chatting with Perry late last year when he was in New York City on business, and I can honestly attest that he’s as cool in person as anyone who knows him says he is. No B.S..
From Universal Pictures, Fast 8 also sees the return of the familiar faces of the franchise led by Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez, in addition to Charlize Theron, Scott Eastwood and Helen Mirren.
