It looks like Vin is going to direct a short prequel for the Fast And The Furious franchise. We get wind of this from our friends at comingsoon:
Vin Diesel, who stars in next Friday’s Babylon A.D., told ComingSoon.net today that he is directing a 20-minute prequel to Fast and Furious, the fourth installment in the Universal Pictures franchise.
Diesel will star in the prequel along with Michelle Rodriguez reprising her role as Letty and Sung Kang returning as Han. Diesel didn’t say how the prequel would premiere; it could be on a DVD, online, TV, etc.
I am not a huge fan of these films, nor do I think they need to care about continuity. Just keep putting out different auto racing films as stand alone projects. That is basically what the third film was, and I liked that one best.
If Vin wants to do a prequel, more power to him, but I think trying to over explain the history of our heroes is played out and a mistake. Patton Oswalt has a great joke about this very fact. “I like Angelina Jolie, but I don’t need to see John Voight’s balls, I don’t need to know where the stuff I love comes from.” I am probably butchering the joke – but you get the idea.
Theres an old Chinese proverb, that says “when you have a problem and come to a dead end, go back to the beginning” or something of that nature.. And with Vin doing F&F4 and xXx 3, along with a possible Riddick 3, he came to a problem and no hes going back to the beginning. The RE-start of his career. ONLY if I directed xXx3 and at least helped write Riddick 3, I can make him bigger then he ever was or is now…
My post was caught in a drift spellcheck,,,, Spin. ,,,
I usually don’t use this word to describe films, but “The Fast and the Furious” is GAY !!! (Sorry for insulting the gay population)
This franchise is (Star Wars) in the Armenian country of Glendale California.

I heart Doug! You make me laugh!
I thought the first Fast and the Furious movie was good. The rest sucked. I hope this new movie he’s in helps his career. He was a pretty good action hero for a minute.
What the hell happened to his career? He started off with some good movies, and then he started doing some mediocre ones, and then finally some truly terrible films.
Is this guy I ever gonna disappear ???
That’s pretty cool, i’ll be sure to see it.
Won;t buy ti though, I’d rent it
Would you like some ice cream? Well, here’s a big bag of rock salt.
You just said I was gonna have some ice cream.
Well, when you combine the rock salt with ice and cream and sugar and flavoring it becomes-
I don’t give a shit where the stuff I love comes from! I just love the stuff I love!
Do you like Angelina Jolie? Does she give you a big boner?
Well, here’s Jon Voight’s ball sac!
Now jerk off to that you lucky so-and-so!
the Fast And The Furious 4’s plot sounds way too much like F&F2, which i think is the worst one, only because it has nothing to do with racing, its about cops trying to stop a drug lord & they just used whatever excuse to have some cool looking cars go really fast & then they just added the words “fast” & “furious” to the title
:( He’s so ugly that I don’t want to see him in anything! But let him direct if he’s good at it.
