The Fast & Furious franchise may last longer than expected!

A few days ago, it was revealed that Universal were looking at Justin Lin to direct the upcoming two part finale to their Fast & Furious franchise. However, that now does not seem to be the case, Universal Pictures chairman Donna Langley has recent spoken to Hollywood Reporter about the future of the franchise;

"We think there's at least three more," says Langley. "...I think it's still a growing franchise. We'll see what happens with 'Furious 7,' obviously, but our box office has grown over the past three or four films and internationally, in particular. So we think that there's more to mine there. But we're of course very mindful about fatigue."

New "Fast & Furious 6" poster

So here is the new teaser poster for the upcoming instalment in the "Fast & Furious" franchise, oh look Vin Diesel and some American muscle have we not seen this before?

Luke Evans joins "Fast 6"

Looks like they are finally putting the pieces together for the upcoming instalment of the "Fast & Furious" franchise. Production is set to begin this Summer, with filming to take place in both London an Berlin. I personally can not wait for it, I'm a sucker for the "Fast" films. With the addition of Luke Evans makes this film that bit more interesting. "We already knew that the Justin Lin-directed Fast and Furious 6 would be taking place overseas, and Johnson recently told Steve that they’ll specifically be filming in London and Berlin. Variety’s casting report notes that the plot involves everyone’s favourite street racing crew going across the pond to work on a heist job. Evans’ villain role is that of the leader of another crew attempting to pull off the same job. We previously learned that Jason Statham turned down a role in the film, so presumably he was offered this same villain that Evans will be playing."   

This is pretty good news in my opinion,  I'm guessing that Luke will not start his filming for this film until he has finalised all his commitments to "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" which he is playing a skilled archer called Bard.
