Fast, Furious, and Maybe Desperate?

The Fast and the Furious is a franchise that most thought of as over and done with, however Brian O’Conner and Dominic Toretto aren’t ready to put the keys away quite yet.

That’s right; a new installment to the Fast and Furious series will hit theaters in the summer of 2009. While the title and story are still being worked out, what is known about the film is the cast. Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster will all be returning in the film to pick up where they left off after 2 Fast 2 Furious.

The film will be directed by Justin Lin, who also did Tokyo Drift, which gives him a little background of how the movies should work. The film will be a sequel to 2 Fast 2 Furious, and a prequel to Lin’s Tokyo Drift.

Now what a lot of people don’t realize is how much money the Fast and Furious series has made at the box office. Worldwide the three movies together have brought in over 600 million dollars, which goes to show that despite all three averaging bad reviews, there are still some fans out there. Now if they could only get Eva Mendez back, the movie would start looking good early on.
