The Rock Gossip

Fast 9, the latest entry in the most improbable franchise in cinema, is currently filming in the UK. Vin Diesel took to Instagram to drop some casting news, confirming that Charlize Theron and Helen Mirren are returning for this installment. Theron was the villain in F8te of the Furious—still mad that isn’t the actual title—and Mirren plays Magdalene Shaw, mother of Deckard (aka Jason Statham). Full Story

Back during the 2017 holidays, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was a surprise, near-billion-dollar hit. So, naturally, a sequel (three-quel, technically) was immediately rushed into development. That movie, Jumanji: The Next Level, is scheduled for the 2019 holiday season, obviously hoping to repeat the fortunes of its predecessor. Full Story

As previously stated, I am SUPER ON BOARD with Hobbs & Shaw, the Fast/Furious spin-off focused on The Rock and Jason Statham. I am 100% in the tank for this movie, I don’t care if it’s good or bad because those are relative terms that do not apply when The Rock is creating a truck-chain to bring down a helicopter. Full Story

Dwayne Johnson reteams with his Central Intelligence director, Rawson Marshall Thurber, for a disaster movie set in a very tall building that is equal parts Die Hard and The Towering Inferno. You would think a movie that stars The Rock and is equal parts Die Hard and The Towering Inferno would be, at the very least, dumb fun, but Skyscraper is oddly dull. Full Story

Hobbs and Shaw is the spinoff franchise partly responsible for my favourite Boy Sh-t of 2016/2017. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Vin “Difficult To Work With” Diesel could barely stand each other enough to be on set Full Story

Imagine Jurassic World, except instead of one giant mutant dinosaur there are three giant mutant animal hybrids, and instead of that lone dino-monster terrorizing a theme park the three mutant animals are terrorizing Chicago, and also imagine if Jurassic World was both dumber and more fun—that’s Rampage. Full Story

There are certain words that have become common in any conversation about Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson – professional, dedicated, hardworking, grateful. A new profile in Rolling Stone touches on all of those things, focusing on how The Rock is one of those rare people who doesn’t just have it all, but does it all. Full Story

If you’ve missed the news, Jumanji is tearing up the box office, becoming one of the biggest movies of 2017 (by making most of its money in 2018). As if we needed any more evidence, Dwayne Johnson is a huge f*ckin’ star who can do whatever the f*ck he wants. Full Story
