So it's officially offical. They will go off on their own adventure.

I wouldn't say its officially official.

 

[terry78]

Semi official?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Could we have not used a real source, like Deadline or something?

 

[terry78]

Well, it is on the front page. If it's wrong they can always retract. My hands are clean.

 

[Loki882]

I'm 100% for this idea (and 110% if Helen Mirren also appears in it).

 

[Greens]

Yes! Mirren better have a pivotal role.

 

[Symbiotic]

Variety adds that Universal wants to add

Spoiler

Charlize Theron's character Cipher

to the thing.

 

[Loki882]

That also makes sense, given what Fast 8 sets up.

 

[Lencho01]

They should just make that they're trying to save Han, who didn't really die.

So basically a movie like this, but more "serious"

 

[Black Narcissus]

Rock and Jason away from Diesel ego?

I'm in.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Now, if you take Hobbs and Shaw and put them in their own movie, does that mean they would no longer be in the main F&F series? Taking out The Rock would be a huge blow to the box office attraction of this series.

 

[samsnee]

I don't know when they'd film it since Rock has ten million projects in the pipeline.

More likely they'd use it as a way of continuing the series after F&F 10 comes out, since the producers have said that will be the last one in the main series.

 

[dude stannis]

I want this in my life. I'm guessing they have reduced roles in part 9 and the spin off comes out later in 2019.

Hobbs and Shaw: A Fast and Furious Tale.

I'm all for it, I love these stupid movies.

One thing that I keep seeing mentioned is how funny it is that Shaw is now a hero and everyone loves him, even though he killed their buddy Han. Right, this is true, but I'd also like to point out that he also slaughtered like, an entire hospital full of people just to visit his brother. I'm not complaining, but Han was like a drop in the bucket of Shaw's murderous ways

 

[dude stannis]

It's funny, about the Justice For Han thing. After robbing the poverty stricken people of Rio, crushing many of them with the wayward safe, he retires to a life of luxury in Tokyo where he doesn't learn his lesson and skims money from the Yakuza. Sounds like he got the justice he deserved at the hands of Shaw.

The hospital thing though.... yeah.

 

[Drizzle]

They really missed an opportunity by not making Shaw's first name Calvin.

They stole money from a drug dealer, not from the people. Technically he wasn't the one pulling the safe. And he stole from criminals.

That money was being extorted from the people. The movie made it clear.

I remember during the safe-scene, my friend turning to me and saying "These people are monsters". All their talk of family, saying grace, Dominic in particular with his holier-than-thou attitude -the whole gang are a bunch of murderous maniacs in one form another. Taking that into account I guess it makes sense they'd so quickly accept Shaw into their club of hypocritical psychos.

All the more reason to love the series

 

[terry78]

I remember when the first trailer came out and Tej releases that wrecking ball that smashes into the cop cars. They didn't all survive that.

Oh exactly. It escalates the 'turn your brain off' aspect into overdrive lol. There's kind of an intentionally comedic Always Sunny undertone to how sociopathic these people are.

I wonder if they want to go for an R rating here? Go for that Deadpool money.
