Is the next Fast and the Furious movie already in the works? The Fast and the Furious came out all the way back in 2001. Now the original cast is back together for…Fast and Furious. Yes; Fast and Furious. They took “the” out of the title and made a movie out of it!
Well, it seems that another sequel is being planned. Fast and Furious opened last weekend with nearly $71 million grossed in the US alone. That makes it a success, and a franchise worthy of another installment.
Paul Walker recently let slip some super secret details regarding the next movie. It looks like he and Vin Diesel are both coming back one more time. This is what he said in a radio interview:
“This was supposed to be it. There wasn’t supposed to be the open-ended closing like there was. When I first read the screenplay, I was like, ‘Man, look what they’re doing.’ But without question, with the way things opened up, Vin and I will be coming back, we’re making a fifth one, and we’re going to Brazil, that’s it.”
There you have it. “The Fast and the Furious Five”. Or will it be “Fast and Furious 5″. Or maybe even “5 Fast 5 Furious”.
I don’t dislike The Fast and the Furious franchise. I liked the first one. I was 12 years old when it came out. The second one, 2 Fast 2 Furious, was horrible in my opinion. Paul Walker went all ghetto thug in it. Tokyo Drift was better than I expected, and I’m actually going to see the new Fast and Furious when I get a chance.
