Universal Pictures previewed a diverse slate of offerings from "Cats" to "Hobbs & Shaw" Wednesday morning at CinemaCon, the annual trade convention where exhibitors and distributors meet in Las Vegas to discuss the future of the movie theater business. CinemaCon favorite Dwayne Johnson got a rousing reception from the audience presenting a new trailer from the "Fast & Furious" spinoff "Hobbs & Shaw" about his and Jason Statham's characters. The movie finds them visiting Hobbs' island home as they try to protect Shaw's sister, played by Vanessa Kirby, from a villain played by Elba. The action-packed trailer showed, among other death defying stunts, Hobbs pulling down a helicopter with a chain from his truck. Universal also showed a trailer for the romantic comedy "Last Christmas," starring Henry Golding and Emilia Clarke, which will hit theaters this holiday season.
