It's official - The Fast and the Furious franchise will get another chapter. Speculation about a fifth installment had been rampant since Fast and Furious once again struck box office gold for NBC Universal last year. The rumors of a fourth sequel came to a head last month when Dominic Toretto himself made the announcement to his 7,385,034 Facebook fans that writer Chris Morgan had handed him scripts for a fifth and sixth movie in the series. Yet, there was no official word from the studio, until now.

Besides Vin Diesel (Toretto), Paul Walker (Brian O'Conner) and director Justin Lin will also return for what's now known simply as Fast Five. Apparently the gang isn't so furious anymore. The franchise should be in good hands, as this crew has ridden through at least two movies apiece and Chris Morgan was the author of the screenplays for the last two installments (The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and Fast and Furious). Those two chapters were arguably the best in the FNF filmography.

The official announcement didn't include word of the suggested sixth installment, but if Vin is to be believed, they might be filming episode five and six back-to-back with a staggered release schedule possibly taking the franchise to its ten-year anniversary in 2011.

Bow Wow can stay gone....:ddog:

I hear they are going to use Gucci Man as the token pop-culture black person this time. Their is also a rumor that Lil Wayne may make an appearance.

As far as industry insiders, I heard from an unreliable source that Richard Hammond or James May may make a cameo.

and.......

i'll probably go watch it.

yayyyyyy

i still haven't seen tokyo drift...

Lol! Imagine May in there trundling about in either his Fiat Panda or a Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead:

"I don't belive how many cocks there are about tonight in their 'blinged up' motors listening to that 'hippety-hop' music" :D

dear god, i didn't get through the last one..
maybe ill D/L it...

they need to bring back roman pierce, lol.. i would love to see him torreto in the same film:rofl:

Best one in the franchise

Funny thing is we all complain how bad this franchise is but we all know were going to end up seeing them. I'll be there opening day

i mean bow wow's vw was impressive enough... cant wait to see whats next. as far as crashing through boulder walls, and doing wheelstands at 80 mph in the sand, the creativity of this franchise blows me away with each new release... but as stated by others, i'll be there opening night in my mismatched silforty...

And they sure did get another chapter
lolololol......

as bad as the acting can be they really stepped it up with the car styling in the last 2 movies. i'll definitely be there for the next one lol

i don't see how theyre going to use gucci man cuz hes locked up, and wayne is headed in there as well.
