The Fast and Furious franchise went from zero to 60 with its crackerjack fifth installment, demoting the drag racing upon which it built itself into the backseat as it sped fully into over-the-top heist capers. It was a wise decision and, even if the eighth installment left us feeling fast and sorta fatigued, a detourâŚ
According to a report from the Associated Press, Paul Walkerâs brothers Caleb and Cody are hopeful that the character Walker played in the Fast And Furious movies can come back somehow. Walker died in a car crash in 2013 while he was filming Furious 7, requiring his brothers to act as stand-ins for his performance inâŚ
Welcome to Development Hell, the fiery pit into which we fling recent developments in casting, distribution, and everything else thatâs new and mildly interesting in the Boschian phantasmagoria of the entertainment industry.
The Fast And Furious movie series is on the verge of a major expansion, having risen from the ashes of #CandyAssGate as a stronger entity that is somehow even more focused on the importance of family. The series will soon be getting an animated Netflix series, the spin-off starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham,âŚ
The Fast And Furious movies have embraced their sillier notions and became crazier and crazier with each installment, but Universal has now found a way to open the door to an infinitely crazier Fast And Furious universe with a new animated series for Netflix. Unfortunately, DreamWorks Animation seems to be taking theâŚ
As rumored back in February, Deadpool 2 and Atomic Blonde director David Leitch has now been confirmed as the director of the Fast And Furious spin-off starring Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham. The movie still doesnât have a name, but the working title for the beef-generating side story is apparently Hobbes And Shaw.âŚ
At this point, it feels like the Fast & Furious franchise only continues to exist so that it can out-do itself. Each successive film culminates in some insane, how-did-they-do-that car chase sequence straight from the mind of an excitable, sports-car-obsessed 11-year-old. But, in the newest installment of their FanâŚ
With Tyrese Gibsonâs frustrations over Dwayne Johnson taking over the Fast And Furious series effectively dismissed, Universal is now free to move forward with the spin-off movie focusing on the characters played by Johnson and Jason Stathamâan idea that sounds awesome to literally everyone but Tyrese Gibson. WeâŚ
Stuntmen loved Fast Five. The year after the movie came out, I spent a few days at ActionFest, a film festival in North Carolina devoted entirely to action cinema, to report a story for GQ. People kept mentioning Fast Five. The stuntmen, especially, kept bringing it up. One guy told me that Fast Five was a clear signâŚ
Earlier today, Tyrese Gibson ushered in a new age of Fast And Furious feuds by blaming Dwayne Johnson (or âDewayneâ Johnson) for butting his head in and forcing Universal to delay Fast And Furious 9. In an Instagram post, he accused Johnson of making the series about himself rather than the whole #FastFamily, whichâŚ
Yesterday, Universal announced that it was bumping Fast And Furious 9 (or whatever it will be called) from April of 2019 to April of 2020. At this point, the studio hasnât confirmed anything about the movie, including who will direct it, other than that Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodgriguez are most likely returning. WeâŚ
It looks like the next installment in the Fast And Furious series needs some more tinkering, as Universal has bumped it back from a tentative release date of April 19, 2019 to April 10, 2020. Even though itâs a year later, that will once again put the movie at the Easter weekend, where the series generally makes a tonâŚ
Like all families, the Fast And Furious cast fight amongst themselves. Vin Diesel, whoâs become the driving force behind the franchise, and newer addition Dwayne Johnson have had it out over whoâs a âcandy assâ; Michelle Rodriguez has threatened to go her own way if the writing for female characters remains soâŚ
In February, Universal announced that it was taking the Fast And Furious series on the road (so to speak) with a live arena show that would use a blend of practical and digital effects to recreate stunts from the movies. We didnât know much else about the event at that time, but now we know itâll be a bit moreâŚ
Fueled by dudes holding nightly candlelight remembrances for the late Paul Walker, Wiz Khalifaâs video for âSee You Againâ has become the most-viewed clip on YouTube, clocking in nearly 2.9 billion clicks earlier this morning. This number surpasses that of YouTubeâs previous record-holder, Psyâs âGangnam Style,â whichâŚ
Perhaps taking inspiration from Disneyâs plan to keep releasing Star Wars movies basically until the end of time, Deadline reports that Universal is seeking to extend the shelf life of its massively successful Fast & Furious series with a spinoff film featuring Jason Stathamâs tough-talking bad guy Deckard Shaw andâŚ
The Fate Of The Furious, the eighth entry in the infinite (The) Fast And (The) Furious film series, is nominally fun. It has jet packs, snowmobiles, angry bearded Russians, exotic cars swerving around a fissuring sheet of ice, a submarine, and Jason Statham shooting his way through tight quarters while toting aâŚ
From its humble beginnings as a Point Break ripoff set on the streets of sweaty, sepia-toned Los Angeles, the Fast And Furious franchise has grown, matured, and upped the stakes so many times it doesnât even register on the same scale as other movies. In the seriesâ latest installments, the ever-growing cast ofâŚ
Whether youâre re-watching some classic Will It Blend videos or satisfying your curiosity about what a hydraulic press will do to your favorite childhood toy, it can sometimes feel like YouTube was created just so people could throw raw material into industrial-grade machinery for our enjoyment. But, if you want yourâŚ
With its fifth installment, The Fast And Furious franchise definitively ditched the frosted tips of its origins by transforming its central gang of drag-racers into a band of master criminals with cars as their secret weapon. Also, The Rock. Under the direction of Justin Lin and James Wan, the filmâs respective sixthâŚ
