Dwayne Johnson Shares a New Picture from Hobbs and Shaw
One-man-marketing-team Dwayne Johnson is at it again. Whenever he is part of a movie, the studio must breathe a sigh of relief because he does most of their marketing for them via his Instagram page. It's not a bad thing, but it is interesting. This could be the future when it comes to movie marketing where, if the star is big enough, maybe you need to do a little less marketing that actually costs money. Johnson has shared another image from the upcoming spin-off from the Fast and Furious franchise Hobbs and Shaw to his Instagram page. This one featuring Johnson, Jason Statham, and Idris Elba.
Production for Hobbs and Shaw started production last September, it'll be directed by David Leitch, and it has a release date of July 26th, 2019. The movie is set to star Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Vanessa Kirby, Eiza Gonzalaz, and Idris Elba. The Fast and Furious series has made $5.1 billion in the worldwide box office and has been keeping the lights on at Universal Pictures since 2001.
