Celeb News: Fast & Furious might have multiple movies to come

Justin Lin might be coming back to 'Fast & Furious'...and the franchise might be ending

Quote:

When Justin Lin joined the Fast & Furious series with 2006’s Tokyo Drift, the automotive action series appeared to be in decline. Over seven years and four movies, Lin presided over a critical and commercial ascension unparalleled in Hollywood blockbuster history. Each of the four Fasts directed by Lin earned more than the previous one; film critic Wesley Morris famously described 2011’s Fast Five as “the most progressive force in American cinema.”

After Furious 6 came out last year, Vin Diesel began talking about a new Fast & Furious trilogy. But Lin had already announced his intention to depart the franchise, at least partially because Universal wanted to accelerate the production schedule and release Furious 7 one year later.

The news comes from Deadline‘s Mike Fleming, who reports that Universal could soon begin serious talks to bring Lin back to direct not just an eighth Fast & Furious movie but multiple movies, shot simultaneously, which would serve as a finale to the entire Fast & Furious saga

Let’s assume that Universal is reaching out to Justin Lin, and let’s also assume that Lin would be amenable to triumphantly returning to a hugely popular megabudgeted blockbuster franchise. Would Universal really end the Fast & Furious series? It seems more likely that proposed films—let’s call them Fast: The Final Fury and Fury: Fast, Finally—would wrap up a quote-unquote “trilogy” that starts with Furious 7.

I love la familia but without Paul there's no familia tho Paul said in an interview a couple of years ago the franchise could go on without him but I'm not supporting this....

This comment says it all

There is no way Universal will let the Fast series end. There's just no way. Like the author mentioned, Fast is their cash cow. Fast is their Avengers. The other good thing about the Fast series is that the cast is having such a good time doing these movies. I can't see how anyone would want to not do another Fast movie. I'm a 100% sure Sung Kang would have wanted to be a part of the seventh one if his character didn't end up dying.
