If you follow the Instagram feed of Dwayne Johnson over the past week, you may have seen that he’s currently filming an intense Fast 8 prison sequence that he himself has dubbed, “The prison scene to end all prison scenes”. We’ve collected the star’s three video posts from the Fast 8 prison set as well as a number of stills that show off the size and scope of Luke Hobbs prison breakout. Check out the Fast 8 prison videos in the players below.
Directed by Straight Outta Compton helmer F. Gary Gray, Fast 8 is planned to launch a new trilogy of films. Fast 8 will be followed by a ninth film to be released April 19, 2019 and a tenth film planned to hit theaters April 2, 2021. Fast and Furious 8, 9 and 10 aren’t the only films new that Universal has planned for the franchise, either. It was recently revealed that plans are underway for both Fast and Furious spinoffs and prequels.
A Universal Pictures release, the Fast 8 cast is confirmed to also include franchise regulars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Elsa Pataky, Nathalie Emmanuel and Lucas Black reprising their roles as street racers-turned-international criminals-turned-super-secret agents. Jason Statham and Kurt Russell are confirmed to return as well. Charlize Theron is confirmed to play the villain, with Kristofer Hivju as one of her henchmen. Scott Eastwood will be playing a protégé of Russell’s Mr. Nobody while Helen Mirren is also set for a role.
