Last week, Universal flew me out to London for the Blu-ray release ofFast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. For those who haven’t seen theFast & Furiousspinoff, the film features Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw(Jason Statham) teaming up to fight a genetically enhanced super-soldier (Idris Elba) bent on unleashing a biochemical weapon on the world at the behest of evil organization Eteon.
During the trip, I got the chance to sit down withHobbs & ShawdirectorDavid Leitchto talk about the movie. During our discussion, we talked about his frantic pace of turning outAtomic Blonde,Deadpool 2, andHobbs & Shawin a three-year span, the challenges of making his first PG-13 movie, and why the McLaren Technology Centre where we did the interview was a good choice for the evil lair of Eteon. We also discussed if he might ever return to theJohn Wickfranchise (he co-directed the first installment withChad Stahleski) and why his adaptation of the video gameThe Divisionwill break the curse of bad video game movies.
Check out the interview above and be sure to check outHobbs & Shaw, which is now available on digital, 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD. Be sure to come back later this week to see me fail at living the Hobbs & Shaw life as I drive fast cars and try to look like a badass. Laughter will be had by all, but mostly by you.
Here’s the full list of special features on theHobbs & Shaw4K and Blu-ray:
