Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson promised that fans are going to witness one of the greatest prison scenes of all time in his upcoming action film "Fast & Furious 8."
"Okay, so here we are in a jail scene on the set of 'Fast & Furious 8.' Here's the thing, in the history of cinema, there have been jail scenes, prison scenes. [But] this is the prison scene of all prison scenes," Johnson said in an Instagram video shared by the film's director F. Gary Gray on Wednesday, July 20. "And we are kicking f--king ass."
A week ago, the 44-year-old actor shared the first-look photo of his character Luke Hobbs in a prison yard, but based on a new behind-the-scenes pic that Gray posted on Instagram, it seems that Luke won't stay behind bars all throughout the movie. In the photo which Gray uploaded yesterday, Johnson's badass character is seen walking away from a car wreck.
