Thread: Vin Diesel hints at Fast and Furious 5 and 6 on Facebook

Few film franchises have gone into six installments. But then few film franchises have been such enormous box office hits as The Fast and the Furious series. Now it appears that, after four installments already released, NBC Universal could be on its way to filming numbers five and six together for staggered release.

The news was broken by none other than Vin Diesel himself, the star of the film series, on his Facebook page. According to Diesel:

If 2009's 'Fast and Furious' was chapter one, what writer Chris Morgan just delivered is Chapter 2 and chapter 3.
I have never been submitted a two story saga from a studio before... it is very exciting, and shows a commitment level that is hard not to respond to.
Excited about the sexy locations the filming of this sag...

Chris Morgan was the writer behind the last two installments (The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and Fast and Furious), and according to Diesel, he's already written the next two screenplays. That, of course, doesn't mean they've both been approved for production, but with the director, writer and lead actor reportedly already on board, the studio would have to have gone speed-blind to pass up these cash cows.

Lets see where this leads us.

I can only hope of it being a better film. I somehow doubt it.

My wife and I love these films. Not because they are good, but because they are fun to see in the theaters. They are great car escapism for people that don't try and find everything wrong with the car references.

Plus, they bring people into the car world. Sure, they need some education if they arrive here because of F&F, but we can teach them.

The F&F franchise is entertaining. 2&3 were pretty bad.

1 is still my favorite.

I'm not even sure I want publicly say how many time I have seen that movie or how many of the words I know I definitely never played a drinking game where we watched all 4 consecutively (including the extra bit between 1 and 2) either

I agree, I started getting into cars seriously after seeing the first film. great way to start off then learn more as you progress.

3 & 4 were directed by the same director.
