THE FAST AND FURIOUS 3! WHOOO HOOOOO I can't wait till 2005 comes and I can miss this movie!
----
Release Date: Summer, 2005 (wide)
Title Note: (4/14/04) In the tradition of 2 Fast 2 Furious, it's extremely likely that Universal will go with a gimmicky title like '3 Fast 3 Furious' (or maybe 'Fast, Faster, Fastest' or 'Fast, Furious, Finale'? :). As of right now, however, this movie will just be listed as 'The Fast and the Furious 3' until some indication of the final title is announced.
Distributor: Universal Pictures
Cast: Vin Diesel (Dominic Torretto) (in talks); other cast not announced yet.
Cast Notes: (4/14/04) In the same way that the second movie followed Paul Walker's character after the events of the first movie, this third film will pick up on Vin Diesel's character from the same starting point (and so, likewise, Paul Walker's character won't be in this third movie just like how Vin Diesel's character wasn't in the second).
Director: Not announced yet.
Director Notes: (4/14/04) There's no word about what director might sign on for this third in the series. John Singleton directed the second movie after Rob Cohen, the director of the first, refused to direct if Vin Diesel wasn't going to star. It's unknown if Vin Diesel's possible involvement in the third movie would attract Rob Cohen to return, but "Variety" reported on March 8th, 2004 that at that point, Cohen had not yet been approached about directing.
Screenwriter: Chris Morgan (cowriter of Cellular)
Based Upon: (4/14/04) This is, of course, the second sequel to the 2001 racing hit, The Fast and the Furious, which was followed in 2003 by 2 Fast 2 Furious.
Premise: After being allowed to get away by his new undercover cop friend in the first movie, fast-driving criminal Dominic Torretto (Diesel) heads down to Mexico where he lives a life as a fugitive, always just 10 seconds ahead of the law. Eventually, however, Torretto makes his way to Tokyo, Japan, which is the world's current capitol of street racing, where he is recruited to help bail out a friend who is in trouble with a powerful group of Japanese gangsters.
Genre: Action, Eye Candy, Sequel, Sports
