Now online is the key art and images to Elba vs. Block<\/strong>, a new car-stunt series for Jeffrey Katzenberg and Meg Whitman<\/strong>\u2019s short-form video platform Quibi<\/strong> where Idris Elba<\/strong> (Luther) is taking to the road with renowned rally car driver Ken Block<\/strong>. The series premiere on April 13.<\/p>\n

It’s a hilarious, action packed rivalry as they pit cars against each other through increasingly outrageous stunts to prove whose car, and which driver, is the best.<\/p>\n

The series was shot in London\u2019s Docklands over eight episodes that will feature eight jaw dropping stunts, such as the Wall of Death, the Car Tightrope and the Flaming Obstacle Course.<\/p>\n

\u201cKen is my driving hero\u2026 I\u2019ve never worked with a driver as skilled as him so I\u2019m a little intimidated by his talent. I love challenges, I love speed and I\u2019m a \u2018wheel man\u2019 so let\u2019s see how this plays out,\u201d<\/strong> said Elba.<\/p>\n

According to Deadline<\/a>, Block is professional rally driver known for his extreme choreographed driving stunts. His viral \u2018Gymkhana\u2019 video series received over half a billion views on YouTube and pushed the boundaries of automotive filmmaking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really excited to be partnering up with Idris on this new show,\u201d<\/strong> said Block. \u201cI\u2019ve admired his work for years and he has a reputation as a man who likes to go fast behind the wheel of a car, so I think we\u2019re going to have a lot of fun with these challenges that the producers have lined up for us.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elba vs. Block is a co-production between Workerbee (part of EndemolShine UK) and Elba\u2019s Green Door Pictures for Quibi.<\/p>\n
