I saw this piece of news before I went on holiday and today I thought as I was back off holiday I might put it up on here seeing as I didn't get a chance to before.
According to Collider.com's website Universal Pictures has planned a "Fast and Furious" spin-off film starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson playing his character from these "Fast and Furious" movies " Luke Hobbs" and Jason Statham also playing his character from these same films "Deckard Shaw" and you probably already guessed by now what this spin-off is going to be called...drum roll please!..."Hobbs and Shaw".
I just thought whilst writing this that the title of this film sounds a bit like a 60's, 70's television police drama like "Cagney and Lacey"... but having seen many of the "Fast and Furious" films I'm guessing that this will probably have a lot more insane stunts/ action sequences just like these movies do.
Anyhew...according to this same article on Collider.com's website and also on Variety.com's website Idris Elba who you may or may not recognise from BBC One's drama "Luther", you may or may not recognise him also from the film "The Take",- which had to have it's name changed from "Bastille Day"- as it is about a police conspiracy that involves the French police's RAPID response team and goes all the way up to the French minister of intelligence where the RAPID unit plan to get a girl called Zoe to plant a bomb in an abandoned building as the first step in causing chaos and stealing millions of euros from the French National Reserve Bank on Bastille Day, but a pickpocket gets caught in the middle of this as he steals Zoe's bag and the bomb blows up somewhere it's not suppose to and then he has to help Idris Elba who is working for the CIA to clear his name but to also find out who is behind the bomb plot plus he has to help keep Zoe alive as the French RAPID team keeps trying to track her down and kill her. You may or may not also recognise him from the film "Takers" where he is head of a crew of thieves that own a nightclub and one of the crew "Ghost" gets shot and goes to prison, then after "Ghost" gets released he turns up at another crew members house played by Paul Walker and says he has a job for them and whilst everyone else is reluctant to do the job because it involves a bank that is highly protected as it's in the centre of New York Idris Elba's character agrees to do it as he's friends with him but he feels its the least they can do to pay him back for going to jail whilst they were free but they later find out that they have been lied to by "Ghost" and that he set them up to get killed by a group of Russians who were also set up to do the same job...and of course I can't go on mentioning other things you may or may not have seen Idris Elba in without mentioning "Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' Dance Off" music video...if you haven't seen this then here is the YouTube link to this video below:

is in the final stages of negotiations to play the villain of this spin off film that will be according to Variety.com's website directed by David Leitch who has also directed "Deadpool 2", and the script has been written by "Fast and Furious" architect Chris Morgan and also according to this same article on Variety.com's website production for this spin-off movie will start this fall/autumn if your like me and live in the UK.
This according to Variety.com's website is supposedly pencilled in for 26th July 2019.
Also according to Collider.com's website another update on "Hobbs and Shaw" is that audiences will see Deckard Shaw's sister who will be played by Vanessa Kirby who also just happens to be an MI5 agent...so it looks like if your in the Shaw family your either like Deckard Shaw and his brother badass villains or your just badass and that you can probably take care of yourself in a fight...but then again their is Helen Mirran's character Magdelene,-their mum- who tried in "The Fate Of The Furious" to put on a cockney accent and tried to look like the Barbara Windsor head of the family type character.
