Lil' Bitch Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are in talks to reunite for the fourth installment of Universal's "Fast and the Furious" franchise. Justin Lin and Chris Morgan, who were behind The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, are returning to directing and writing duties, respectively. Neal Moritz will produce the as-yet-untitled installment along with Diesel, who will produce through his One Race Films. The storyline is being kept under wraps. A spring start is anticipated with shooting in Los Angeles, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Diesel and Walker starred together in the first film, which earned more than $144 million in 2001. Only Walker returned for the sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious, and sat out the third installment, 2005's "Tokyo Drift." That movie had relative newcomer Lucas Black in the driver's seat but did feature Diesel in a cameo at the end of the movie. Loved the first one. 2F2F sucked ass, but I blame Tyrese for it. Tokyo Drift was a lot better than I thought it would be. I'm looking foward to this especially if they can bring back the original duo.
Black Lushus Posted October 5, 2007 Report Posted October 5, 2007 Tokyo Drift is a guilty pleasure, I actually liked it.
cabbageboy Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 I actually thought the 2nd one was the guilty pleasure, mainly because it didn't have Diesel there to drag it into boredom. Such a funny ripoff of GTA: Vice City.
The Buzz Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 I like Diesel, but he's probably running out of money to produce his Hannibal The Barbarian, Riddick, and detective cop movies he's been working on for years. I think the life on the fast and the furious might be on empty, but maybe not.
eiker_ir Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 i think part 2 is my favorite because 1. i hate Diesel 2. It's hilarious to hear Paul Walker say ''BRAH" and sound like an idiot the entire movie
Craig Th Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 Tokyo Drift is a guilty pleasure, I actually liked it.
Hawk 34 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 Toyko Drift has joined the great collection of perfect 4 in the morning time-kill movies.
2GOLD Posted October 7, 2007 Report Posted October 7, 2007 Dammit, why is Paul Walker STILL being allowed to have a career?!?!
Rendclaw Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Because women think he's good-looking. The first was excellent, the second was meh, and I couldn;t bring myself to watch Tokyo Drift because I can't stand drifting in general.
CBright7831 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Dammit, why is Paul Walker STILL being allowed to have a career?!?! It's flabbergasting to know that many members of the IC were pulling for him to be The Joker in The Dark Knight. Jeez.
haws bah gawd Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 I'm kind of surprised to see Vin Diesel attached to this. No saying the Fast and the Furious franchise is anything big to be linked to, but I had figured that the Pacifier did irreparable harm to his career. I guess he needs to try to restart things again.
Black Lushus Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 I think Vin Diesel would be in a much better position if Chronicles of Riddick wasn't such a stinker of a movie.

In Credible Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 I think Vin Diesel would be in a much better position if Chronicles of Riddick wasn't such a stinker of a movie. I thought Riddick was solid and I think it was a better choice than doing a xXx sequel.

Paul Walker didn't sing to Julia Stiles w/ a school band playing though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIW7WXPb-dc

If you guys haven't seen his film called Find Me Guilty, then go check it out. It's some pretty good acting work from Diesel and not too bad of a movie.
Lil' Bitch Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Posted October 10, 2007 I thought The Pacifier did well at the box office? Diesel was pretty good in Boiler Room. I thought Riddick was solid and I think it was a better choice than doing a xXx sequel. Riddick was cool, but after seeing Ice Cube's performance, I wish Diesel had came back for XXX 2. (Were they filming the sequels at the same time?)

My best guess is that Vin was trying to use The Pacifier as his own "Kindergarten Cop", but he hasn't amounted to much since then except "Find Me Guilty".
Lil' Bitch Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Posted June 1, 2008 Well, supposedly they got Michelle Rodriguez and the other chick from the first film to come back also. Apparantly, FF4 is a sequel to FF2, but a prequel to FF3, which is good because it would explain how Dominic got from Mexico to Japan.
RedJed Posted June 1, 2008 Report Posted June 1, 2008 I read somewhere the active title for part four is just "Fast and Furious" - weird.
2GOLD Posted June 1, 2008 Report Posted June 1, 2008 I read somewhere the active title for part four is just "Fast and Furious" - weird. That's just lazy right there. And I watched Drift again and I am puzzled that a movie set in Toyko really didn't have as many hot Japanese ladies it should have. How can you set a movie in Japan and not have one lead female be from Japan?

Ravenbomb Posted June 1, 2008 Report Posted June 1, 2008 Dammit, why is Paul Walker STILL being allowed to have a career?!?! I liked Running Scared. Granted the best part of the movie didn't have him in it at all, but he wasn't bad in it.
RepoMan Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 I never got why any of these movies made any money. I get that some pepole are really into cars, but no one on here is going to recomend Ready 2 Rumble.
Youth N Asia Posted June 4, 2008 Report Posted June 4, 2008 Dammit, why is Paul Walker STILL being allowed to have a career?!?! I liked Running Scared. Granted the best part of the movie didn't have him in it at all, but he wasn't bad in it. Liar, he was in the best part Pimp Lester: [pointing gun at Oleg] "Say hello to my little friend!" Joey Gazelle: "That's real fucking original. what are you, a fucking cartoon?" Pimp Lester: "I'm a mack-daddy pimp!"

How can you set a movie in Japan and not have one lead female be from Japan? it's simple, you cast a Hispanic chick and say she's half japanese!
