ROTTEN TOMATOES: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker Still Fast, Furious

Vin Diesel, Paul Walker Still Fast, Furious

Franchise's deep subtext and unanswered questions to be explored, resolved.

by Jeff Giles | October 03, 2007

You probably thought they had slowed down and mellowed out, but no: According to The Hollywood Reporter, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are just a few strokes of the pen away from a Fast and the Furious reunion.

Also bound to make fans of the franchise happy is the news that Justin Lin and Chris Morgan, the director and writer who brought you Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, will be on board for the fourth installment, which is almost certainly not going to be called Live Fast or Die Furious. Further relevant details, from the article:

The storyline is being kept under wraps, but fast cars are involved. A spring start is anticipated with shooting in Los Angeles, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

If you're anything like our own Jen Yamato, you're reading this news and squealing "HECK YES!" Others of us remain mystified as to the source of Diesel's appeal, but it's the cars, after all, that are the stars of these movies -- and as long as fast ones are involved, this thing will doubtless make enough money to justify yet another sequel.

Surprise, surprise -- and is Jeff Giles a pseudonym for Scott Weinberg?

diesel and walker probably realized that all of their movies suck, so they might as well make a sucky movie that everyone will see.

I'm my own man, Bane. Why, did Scott have a thing for Vin Diesel jokes?

Who cares, even in my teens I was wary of this mediocre crap.

Nah, just the sarcastic, sometimes acerbic, sense of humor.

The two worst actors in the business reuniting for the fourth film of a tired series. Yay!

I'm guessing they're going to get into some sort of racing related problem and the only solution is to race away from it. Just a guess.

If I'm correct didn't Diesel appear in the last scene of Tokyo Drift?

The Fast and The Furious taught me how to live life a quarter-mile at a time. Strap me up baby!

75% of all these new comments are negative 100% of the time.

You heard right!

I saw the 1st two. They had a dumb charm I hated to embrace but what can one do. Same for Vin. I have no idea why I kind of like him. He isn't exactly the best actor. I never like the ladder aspects of 'True Hollywood Stories' is all. I like the rise, not the fall.

The movies have shown drag racing, touring, and drifting. Hopefully number 4 will be about my favorite -- Rally

Sounds good to me, I wasn't expepcting to care about part four at all. But I really enjoyed the first one, and I am looking forward to Diesel coming back to the franchise.

Well it's at least nice to see these two swallowing their pride and finally accepting that this franchise isn't below their credentials.

As for a fourth movie? Beh. The first was at best decent, the rest were junk.
