'Fast & Furious' Spinoff Eyes Dwayne Johnson, Charlize Theron & Jason Statham

Why wouldn't you do a Fast & Furious spinoff starring Dwayne Johnson, declared last year to be the highest-paid actor in the world? Universal is trying just that, and roping in Jason Statham and Charlize Theron as well.

"The idea is for Johnson’s U.S. diplomatic security agent Luke Hobbs to form an unlikely alliance with Statham’s Decker Shaw for a movie that conceivably could be made while they are figuring the next Fast film," Deadline writes. The script would come from Chris Morgan, who's written the series' last six movies and created the TV shows Gang Related and The Troop.
