Skyscraper

Great family set visit on #SKYSCRAPER up here in Vancouver with Jeff Shell and his lovely wife, Laura and their awesome daughter, Anna. Jeff is Universal’s Chairman of global film operations so I enjoy picking his brain about our business and where we’re trending. Also had great chats about the FAST & FURIOUS franchise and the much anticipated HOBBS spinoff. Got some big plans you guys’ll love. The best part of the meeting was not only getting his wife Laura’s point of view on projects – because mom’s rule the world – but having their 14yr old daughter, Anna say, “THAT’S SO COOL” is all I need to hear when it comes to the HOBBS spinoff. 😉👏🏾🙌🏾 Good times. Great family. #OnSet #TheShells #SKYSCRAPER
