Great news though - Love me some Kurt Russell & it'll be cool to see him in these movies.

[csdot]

so theyll be rescuing the president from kidnappers in 8 maybe?

I totally avoid watching 1-3. However, 4-6 have all been entertaining even moreso because of Dwayne Johnson. And it's great to see Kurt Russell is going be in another movie. He's been away too long.

[Col. Zombie]

I never watched the first 4 "Fast" movies, but I have watched the last two and thought they were reaaaaally enjoyable.

The only reason I went to see Fast 5 was because the new Transformers trailer was playing before it, and rather than get up and walk out after the trailer, I stuck around...and I'm glad I did.

I plan on checking out all subsequent "Fast" films until they start to bore me.

Of course if Kurt Russell is in...so am I.

I think 4 is underrated, but the overuse of CGI is a massive kick in the balls and kills the momentum of the movie.

i heard that they are casting indian actress depika padukon?

Really? 1, 2 and 3 are fun in their own context.

I love 2 Fast 2 Furious, even though many people here seem to hate it.

I think my least favorites could be 1 and 3, mostly because they're way too focused on the street racing aspect of the stories.

I prefer 2, 4, 5 and 6 because their narrative structure is more my kind of thing: an action story with an actual villain and the stories do not rely in the street racing thing; it's just an element of the films, but not what the movies are built upon. I think 2 is a lot of fun and it's still one of my favorite of the franchise.

Why do most people avoid the first 4 fast and furious movies, but watch 5 & 6? I really don't get it.

5 and 6 are extremely impressive memorable action films. 1-4 are much more forgettable and racing car based

Yeah the street racing stuff doesn't uh, rev my engine (sorry ). Fast Five was a heist film and I find those a lot more entertaining. I wouldn't even know how to describe Furious 6... a superhero movie?

Nic Cage should guest star, especially since he's had success with that sort of thing before.

Bad news, folks. According to Vin Diesel himself, in an interview he did with his close friend Maria Menounos, he mentions how he wants to do Fast and Furious 8 and 9 before he does 7. While he doesn;t directly mention the Fast and Furious franchise, it's the only series franchise that he's working on that is close to those "numbered" sequels.

Whether this is what Universal is doing might be different but I found it strange that Diersel mentioned this, even though casting has been going forward with Fast 7. It would be strange if Fast and Furious 8 and 9 were produced before 7, unless Statham is filming another movie at the time that Universal wants to do Fast 7.

The video is the full interview where Vin Diesel talks about a lot of things, even his future work with marvel Studios.

[Walts Ghost]

Yeah, Kemcha, he's just saying he's excited to 8 and 9 because of where it's going. But of course they're making 7 first...It starts shooting this month.

[GreenGaijin]

You know this is a franchise that can go on for a very long time. After they finish 9, they can do some more spinoffs then continue the main story with Paul Walker's kid and start a new generation of characters. That would be a good reason to bring back the original cast again for cameos, or at least acknowledge them. Remember, it's all about family.

Fast and Furious Forever!

[kemcha]

I actually hope they just make these films in order. I think when Tokyo Drift was released, that Universal didn't think there was going to be any more films, until they opted to drop Vin Diesel at the end of the film and it took off. I'm all for producing these movies in the proper time/chronological order.
