BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Idris Elba Cast In Hobbs and Shaw

Later this summer Idris Elba is releasing his directorial debut Yardie — but don’t go thinking that he’s putting acting on the back-burner. He’s just taken on a major new role, with Variety reporting that he's now lined up as the villain for Fast & Furious spin-off Hobbs and Shaw. Yes — that means Elba vs. The Rock and Jason Statham.

Little is known about what Elba’s role will entail, but the script is currently being worked on by Chris Morgan who’s written every Fast entry since Tokyo Drift. Behind the camera is David Leitch, of John Wick, Atomic Blonde, and Deadpool 2 fame. Earlier this week is was confirmed that The Crown’s Vanessa Kirby has joined the cast as the latest member of the Shaw family — making her the daughter of Helen Mirren’s Magdalene, and sister of Luke Evans’ Owen and Statham’s Deckard. Quite the family tree.

While the spin-off does mean a delay for Fast 9, this is getting more and more exciting with every announcement. Hobbs and Shaw is set to explode into cinemas next summer on 26 July.

Naked Gun Reboot On It's Way

If you've seen Naked Gun - or The Naked Gun: From The Files Of Police Squad ! to give its full title - you'll know that it's a comedic masterpiece that springboards off astonishing levels of silliness and random spoofery. Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin is a loveable buffoon for the ages, even when he's discussing his dicky prostrate. Do not, however, expect the Ed Helms -starring reboot to adopt exactly the same tack. According to Naked Gun director/co-writer David Zucker, talking up Airplane!'s screening at Nashville's Wild West Comedy Festival, the new version will not attempt to hit the same spoofy sweet spot as the Zuckers and Jim Abrahams' 1988 comedy. "It won’t be like the Naked Gun that I did," Zucker revealed. "It may be good, but it won’t be that kind of movie. They’re going to use the title. They asked me if I wanted to produce. They’re nice people, but they don’t want to do that style of spoof that I do." One departure
