Vin Diesel and Paul Walker to Return for 'Fast and the Furious 4'
Filed under: Action, Drama, Casting, Universal, Fandom, Newsstand
We've heard rumors for quite some time now, but it seems there is truth behind them: Vin Diesel and Paul Walker have officially bottomed out. Well, their careers cars have, that is. According to The Hollywood Reporter, both actors are in negotiations to reunite on the big screen for a fourth installment in the popular Fast and the Furious franchise. But wait, it gets better -- check out HR's description of the premise: "The story line is being kept under wraps, but fast cars are involved." Gee, ya think? Justin Lin, who directed Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift will once again step behind the camera for part four, while Chris Morgan returns to write the script. Neil Moritz and Diesel will produce.
All we know at this time is that shooting will take place this spring in Los Angeles, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Folks should remember how Diesel showed up for a cameo at the end of Tokyo Drift, and since fans went apesh*t over his appearance, the actor was convinced he had at least one more race in him. Walker, on the other hand, showed up in 2 Fast 2 Furious, but did not return for part three. And since I barely even remember the first film, I'm not exactly sure where each character is at (story-wise) heading into this fourth flick. But I trust fans of the series will be pretty stoked to hear this news. Currently, there's no word on a release date or further additions to the cast.

I know he already backed out, but if this keeps Justin Lin even farther from the Oldboy remake, I welcome it with the hope it takes forever to make.

Why remake Oldboy? Ick. Disturbingly over-the-top.
As for Vin Diesel - why isn't he doing more Pacifier nonsense? Or another Riddick thing? Those franchises could still generate some dough for people who love the Vin. But if you're a Vin Diesel fan and you don't color in your spare time, you probably can be declared incompetent by the state.
