  • Louis Leterrier Replacing Justin Lin On ‘Fast X’ 

    Louis Leterrier Replacing Justin Lin On ‘Fast X’ 

    The Fast Saga has a brand new director. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Universal has selected Louis Leterrier as the new helmer of Fast X. The filmmaker, known for his work on The Incredible Hulk and The Transporter, will replace Justin Lin. Per the outlet, details are still being worked out between the two parties, but Leterrier is Universal’s pick. Should things work out, filming could pick back up in just a matter of days.

    Lin, the previous director, was a couple of weeks into production before he dropped out of the project about a week ago. At the time, Lin released a vague statement regarding his exit, revealing he would stay on board as producer. However, recent reports have surfaced stating Lin’s exit was over differences with star Vin Diesel. Other names that were once attached to potentially replace Line had been F. Gary Gray and David Leitch.

    While Universal continued its search for a director after Lin’s exit, it is said the studio switched to second unit photography to stay on track. This would mark a return to Leterrier who previously worked with Universal on The Incredible Hulk.

  • ‘Fast and Furious 10’ Gets New Title and Logo as Production Starts

    ‘Fast and Furious 10’ Gets New Title and Logo as Production Starts

    It looks like Vin Diesel has started production on the tenth entry of the Fast and Furious franchise. Not only that, but to celebrate the occasion, the actor took to his personal Instagram account to share that it’ll be titled Fast X and even included a clever logo for the upcoming film. Sadly, there are no further details included, but it’s great to get a tease of what’s to come as they start production.



    There are some great details about the logo. It is the second title to include the name Fast” with the number of its entry, as the last time they did this was Fast Five in 2011. The seventh entry just focused on the Furious part before the eighth entry turned it into a pun and we got F9 in 2021. So, it is surprising they are reusing an idea but the X makes sense for the tenth entry. My favorite part, however, is that the X is a car’s headlight which makes for a great reveal.

    We’ll see what the future has in store, as they are rumored to film the tenth and eleventh entries back to back. Diesel has tended to announce quite a few aspects of his franchise through his Instagram title, such as sharing that Brie Larson joined the production not too long ago. So, we’ll see if he might share some set photos as they end the Fast Saga with the upcoming releases.

  • Brie Larson Joins ‘Fast and Furious 10’

    Brie Larson Joins ‘Fast and Furious 10’

    Fast and Furious is one of the longest-running and most successful franchises that Hollywood has ever seen and will go out in a blaze of glory with a two-part final installment. The film has recently added Jason Momoa as its main antagonist. Joining him is The Suicide Squad actor Daniela Melchior in a currently undisclosed role. Now it seems the franchise has found yet another superhero to join its ranks as Brie Larson has been confirmed for Fast 10. 

    Star and face of the franchise Vin Diesel took to Instagram, sharing a photo of him and Larson and confirming that she would indeed be joining the family. Details on just who she’ll be playing are still under wraps at this team, but we can assume she could be an ally of sorts for Dom and the gang. 

    Production on the final two installments of the franchise reportedly began back in January, with both films being shot back-to-back so that they can release consecutively in 2023 and 2024. Both films will be directed by franchise veteran Justin Lin, who previously directed Fast 9, Fast and Furious, Fast Five, Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, and Fast and Furious 6. 

    Fast and Furious 10 is currently set to hit theaters on May 19th, 2023, and will star Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, and Nathalie Emmanuel. It’ll be interesting to see just who returns for the franchise’s send-off and those who are believed to be dead may just crawl out of the shadows for one final appearance.

  • ‘Fast and Furious 10’ Eyeing ‘The Suicide Squad’s Daniela Melchior to Join the Cast

    ‘Fast and Furious 10’ Eyeing ‘The Suicide Squad’s Daniela Melchior to Join the Cast

    It looks like breakout star Daniela Melchior has found her next big project. The Portuguese actress rose to prominence last year playing Ratcatcher 2 in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, and will now join the impressive ensemble cast of the untitled 10th Fast & Furious film. The film is set to be one of many upcoming action roles for Melchior, who will also be seen in the star-studded spy movie Assassin Club and the Liam Neeson thriller Marlowe. This level of exposure is a big career turnaround for the young performer, whose work as the heart and soul of DC’s villain team-up has elevated her past years of daytime television and into the Hollywood spotlight.

    Fast & Furious 10 will star the usual suspects, with series lead Vin Diesel and co-stars Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Charlize Theron, John Cena, and Michelle Rodriguez all set to return. Other newcomers to the cast will include megastar Jason Mamoa, who will play the movie’s villain, and rapper Cardi B, who made a brief and unexpected cameo in F9. The film will also be the franchise’s final installment, releasing on May 19, 2023, after decades of genre-bending outings. There are currently no plot details available for F10, but fans can likely expect it to pick up where the last story ended to finish things with a bang.

  • EXCLUSIVE: ‘Fast and Furious 10’ Eyeing April Production Start

    EXCLUSIVE: ‘Fast and Furious 10’ Eyeing April Production Start

    Just recently, Vin Diesel took to Instagram to tease that the production start for their first of the final two Fast and Furious films is just “minutes away.” Initially, it was going to release in January, but it’s not uncommon for productions to face some kind of delay nowadays. We can exclusively share that Fast 10 is now eyeing a production start by mid or late April in the United Kingdom.

    Justin Lin’s will take on the final two films in the series back-to-back. So, technically they will jump into production on the eleventh and final entry once they wrap up on the tenth Fast and Furious entry. The film is currently still casting two roles for the film, as they are looking to cast two twin boys of the age of seven to nine years of Afro-Latino or mixed-race. It seems that they will have an essential role in the story.

    The Vin Diesel-led franchise started back in 2001. What started as this story about illegal street racing turned into an action-packed thrill ride for many viewers. Now, the series includes multiple spinoffs like Netflix’s Spy Racers series or the film focused on Hobbs & Shaw. There also was the video game that was announced with a lot of hype during the Video Game Awards, but sadly couldn’t live up to expectations. While the upcoming two entries might end the Fast Saga as we know it, there is no stopping this nitro-fueled franchise from running out of gas.
