- I paid a lot of people at Sundance by the way
to bring our movie here to Sundance.
You name it.
Robert Redford, everybody.
- [Josh] Congratulations on this guys.
"Fighting with My Family."
As we sit here today, this is your first Sundance.
This is a big moment for Seven Bucks,
so congrats are in order.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- It's good to be here.
- This film might be the first time
that a production of yours has actually
made me a little misty-eyed, guys.
Was that the goal? - Great.
Finally a Rock production that
could bring Josh Horowitz to tears?
- That's what we talked about.
- Yeah.
- We were like, it's one of our top three.
- But in all seriousness, that must be,
that's kind of a new box to check
for the kind of films that you guys
have been producing.
What makes this one fit into the Seven Bucks
Rock ethos, the model right now?
- Well, ya know, our goal was always
to make movies that, and make productions
that hopefully are impactful and
have some depth and some quality to them
and also have a great layer
of entertainment to them as well.
And ya know, "Fighting With My Family"
was something that was very special to us
and specifically me too as well
I connected deeply with it when I first saw the documentary.
Whilst I could not sleep in London, in 2012,
couldn't sleep in London, very true story,
we're shooting Fast 6, "Fast and Furious 6,"
couldn't sleep, in the middle of the night
I turned the TV on and I watched this documentary
called "Fighting With My Family."
It was a beautiful documentary,
I was really blown away,
about this crazy British wrestling family
and it reminded me of my own crazy
non-British wrestling family and then here we are.
And then we had this opportunity to make it
and bring it to Sundance, obviously
the apex of film festivals so.
And I think in it, within "Fighting With My Family"
there's a compelling nature to it
because ultimately at the end of the day,
we all want our kids to succeed
and this crazy, wrestling family
just wanted their kids to succeed
and against all odds they went out and they succeeded.
- Is part of also the goal in this like,
there haven't been to many, I mean,
you know better than I like, films
that depicted professional wrestling in a great way
that haven't done it a good service
in terms of depicting it accurately
but also getting at what's behind it,
behind the sacrifices that are made
and the family dynamic.
Is that kind of also a badge of honor
for this that you've brought something
like that to life?
- I think definitely.
Ya know, that point of view has always been there.
It's lived with every wrestler
who stepped in the ring, male or female.
There's these huge dreams and it is a family event.
We've all been, obviously Dwayne and I were married,
and even Hiram, we were raised in it,
and so those stories, and the reason,
probably one of the reasons you cried,
or had a few tears, we know you cried.
- It's okay, I was bawling, it's fine (laughing)
- It's because it's real, it resonates,
it's authentic, it's what happens,
it's that moment where you think,
"can everything change?"
So yeah it was really special that we went there
and that we had a chance to tell that point of view
that has been there forever.
- Yeah I was talking to your director,
Stephen Merchant, the great Stephen Merchant,
and Florence who's this amazing talent as your
lead actress yesterday. - Yeah
And they were talking about shooting this,
portion of this at an actual match
and Stephen was actually saying that he,
for the first time he was probably
the only person that was trying
to tear you off the stage.
(laughing)
Cause he was worried that they
were not gonna have enough time to shoot.
Did you feel the pressure from Stephen Merchant
like, eyeing you saying, "we gotta get rolling, man"?
- Well ya know, I think we, there was a lot
of pressure period I think with a movie like this.
We had challenges getting it financed at first
because you had to step out of
the traditional studio box because
the movie is not a traditional movie
so we had to find financing first
so there were challenges there.
We also had limited time as a production
as we were putting everything together.
So we would be on set, and we would be
running and gunning and look, the truth is
I've known Stephen for a long time.
We did a movie which, I'm sure you cried on,
"Tooth Fairy." - "Tooth Fairy," yup.
- I watch it every night before bed.
- I cried too, yeah, after I made it.
(laughing)
- When's the sequel to that one coming out?
- Ya know, never.
(laughing)
That date never.
But Stephen, when he gets on set
he's a focused director and he's great
but ya know, his menacing face
is not that scary.
- No, no he has other talents though.
Can we talk a little bit about the crazy
amazing slate for Seven Bucks, I mean
what you guys are accomplishing
in recent years is astonishing
and how it's revved up. - Thank you buddy.
You just wrapped "Hobbs and Shaw."
- We did.
- David Leitch directing this.
This guy knows action better
or as well as any human being on the planet.
What can we expect?
Is this gonna feel like a buddy cop,
kind of like a "Lethal Weapon" kind of a thing
or a Fast and Furious kind of a thing?
- It's a combination of both.
But I'm gonna let...
- [Josh] Hiram tell me.
- Hiram the producer of "Hobbs and Shaw."
- David was a perfect pick for this.
Ya know, our goal with it was
we'd had it in development for a while
and there was always this dream
of when we created the characters back in 2010,
if we were so lucky, if the audiences responded
to it, we'd love to spin these guys off
and we found this great path between Hobbs,
the character of Hobbs and Shaw
in the last Fast 8 movie.
People really responded to the little bit
of that buddy cup dynamic of these two guys--
- Right.
- Savin' the world, but they really
just wanna kick each other's asses more than anything.
(laughing)
- I was very excited about that.
- Here's what I wanna know.
You're only as good as your villain.
You got Idris, Idris Elba. - Well--
- Idris is the man.
- Is there one fight between you guys
and Idris that's gonna knock me back?
- Well, the goal was, who is the actor out there
who had the believability that
they could go up against not only me,
but Jason and us combined,
and Idris fit that bill, man
and he came in and he really created
a character who we believe
that audiences will ultimately
actually fall in love with.
The bad guy that's so bad--
(laughing)
He actually becomes really cool.
And so we have the showdown of the summer.
- So great.
- It is a gargantuan, triple threat (laughing)
match up between us three.
And not only that but we also have,
just without giving it away, we have his army coming in,
that descends upon a little island of Samoa.
- Easy, easy, easy.
- I know, I'm ready, here we go.
- We have an abundance of fights.
- An abundance.
- We have an abundance of fights right now
we're trying to pull it back cause we've got so much stuff.
It's gonna be great. - It's gonna be great.
- And we have a great cast.
We have cast that, ya know, it's just
every time, when that film, and everyone's
sitting there we're gonna be like,
he's in it, she's in it, it's just delight, delight.
- I love it.
- Dany is actually referring to
a few surprises that we had too, yes.
- Members of Jason Statham's family, extended family?
- I'm not gonna say anything, oh no--
- Don't ruin the surprise.
- I mean those aren't surprises.
- Right [Josh] Right, right right.
- Think about that, surprises.
- Surprises.
- Is your focus now, in terms of that part of the universe,
on the Hobbs and Shaw and potentially other stuff there
or would you appear, potentially,
in another Fast movie in "Fast 9," you think?
- I would, ya gotta, ya never say never
in the world of Fast and Furious, ya know
but this has always been the plan.
The plan has always been for the
Fast and Furious universe to grow and expand
and we started with Hobbs and Shaw
and I know that there's other ideas
and iterations happening right now too as well.
As of now, we're not in "Fast 9"
because they're getting ready to start shooting
but who knows with Fast 10 and down the road,
ya never know because look, at the end of the day
the truth is, there's unfinished business
between Hobbs and Dom, it's unfinished.
It's always unfinished.
- Two quick things before I let you go.
We have "Jumanji" coming up that
you're gonna be shooting next, I believe.
- Very soon.
- I just spoke to-- In two weeks.
Awkwafina the other day.
She's the queen of Sundance.
She has two films here, she's amazing.
- Oh, great.
- She's so cool, man, she's so talented too.
- What can you, can you tease setting
or anything about the next "Jumanji?"
Are we going back to the jungle?
- Whaddaya got producer?
- [Josh] Yeah, Hiram what ya got?
- Ya know you'll see Not tease too much.
a little jungle.
There's gonna be some jungle
but we definitely explain the world.
There's gonna be, they go to a lot of new places,
a lot new vistas, and a lot of kind of
interesting body swappin that's gonna be goin on
so it's gonna be fun.
- [Josh] Dany do you know when there--
- There's more.
- New characters?
- Yeah, I would think "Jumanji" and then think more.
- Yeah, okay.
- It's all about the "Jumanji" universe.
We're building that out buddy.
- Building the "Jumanji" universe.
- We're building it out.
- [Josh] I love it.
