With directorDavid Leitch’sFast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shawnow playing in theaters and IMAX, the other day I sat down with writer-producerChris Morganfor an in-depth interview. During the wide-ranging conversation, he talked about how he first broke into Hollywood, selling his first screenplay, how he got involved in theFast & Furiousfranchise, why the films can bend the rules of physics, his original idea forFast Five, how they got the great scenes ofDwayne JohnsonandJason Stathaminsulting each other, and more. In addition, I asked which franchise–Fast & FuriousorMission: Impossible–goes to space first, the status of the female-ledFast & Furious spinoff, what unproduced script he wishes he could make, and so much more.
As you’veseen in the trailers, in the spinoff, Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) must team up with Shaw (Jason Statham) to stop Brixton (Idris Elba), a superhuman anarchist bent on releasing a biothreat on the world.Hobbs & Shawalso starsVanessa Kirbyas Shaw’s sister, Helen Mirren as Shaw’s mother,Eiza Gonzalex,Eddie Marsan, andCliff Curtis.
