[GSP_37]

not even watched the last one

the series died at 5
4 was terrible but is now an ATG compared to the rest

I hope dwayne is in it though

If Dwayne is in it, for sure he and Dom will French kiss before having their end of movie BBQ.

Ooo, calling him "little brother" already seems like it could be taken as an insult by Johnson.

No doubt. The Rock is a bigger star, a bigger human being, has a bigger net worth and is liked more. Seems like something coming from a place of insecurity.

I hope he comes back, rubber guns and all, but unless Universal pays up big time, I don't see it.

Guns not needed. By now they each mastered using DBZ ki blasts and eye beams.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Hopefully it's the last one.

It won't be.

They'll take a few years off, at most, and then do a spin-off, or a reboot with a new cast, or a remake.

F&F is one of the highest grossing movie series in history. We now live in a world with 11 Halloween movies, three of which are named 'Halloween.'

There's no way in fuck they're NOT going to not make more and more F&F movies until they stop making a shitload of money.

 

[God_Emperor_Of_Mankind]

This series is worse than many over the top anime or cartoons.

They went from driving the cars on the road to just outright flying them all the time.

Grown ups complaining about Island Boys while watching Vin Diesel movies.

This world.

Universal is fucking STUPID AS ALL HELL if they don't do a F&F/Jurassic World crossover in the next 5 years. Holy hell what a wasted opportunity for an easy billion+ dollars that would be. And in this era where crossovers are the norm, there's no excuse not to do it. Especially with how over the top ridiculous the F&F franchise has gotten. It needs to happen. Universal owns both franchises no less. (Universal, ie the original crossover studio)

I hope it happens after F10 and F11 finish up.

 

[snootylol]

haha glad I wasn't the only one to pick up on that. If it wasn't a deliberate shot, it could definitely be interpreted as one. Just the type of thing you could picture with all the- Hey yo, family- Fast and Furious insanity and the fact that Vin is the older guy he could just coyly be like- he's like a little brother- while actually taking a dig.

I read it as an insult straight away tbh.. if not def poorly judged

This isn't South Korea..

He could have easily just said brother instead of "little"

 

[zapataxiv]

mann i hope they bring him back

I love FF for how stupid and ridiculous it is

but he movies are a lot less fun without the rock. they need Statham too!
rock and Statham vs diesel and Cena
book it Lin

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Might as well add the Transformers in there for the trinity of stupidity to be complete.

Not ridiculous, its become stupid.

First it was a somewhat realistic-ish crime drama with street cars, then it became superheroes in race cars, and over the last few movies its become lazy stupidity because they know their loyal audience across the world will pay to see it so why bother put any effort into it?

Might as well throw F&F in with dinosaurs, transformers, and dino-tranformers all to make the shittiest movie possible and it'll be guaranteed to make more than Avengers Endgame.

 

[zapataxiv]

also just out of curiosity I wanna see how they make diesel look like the tallest guy on a set with the rock and Cena

 

[RandyCouture>U]

I liked some of the magnet chase scene and I liked the fact that they brought in the Tokyo Drift guys lol. Kind of got a kick out of that.

Pretty much the only positive things I have to say about it. When Vin started military pressing guys and giving them the Bane treatment I just had to tune out lol. And the outer space stuff- seems like it was probably a pitch meeting where they were just all joking around and then somehow it got put in the screenplay for real...

Wait...they actually went into outer space???? I have not watched since the fifth one. I know there were jokes and memes but they actually went and did that? Good gravy.

 

[I Am Legion]

Garbage franchise, garbage actors.

If it does happen, Diesel will definitely make sure he gets to power slam a raptor and one-punch KO a t-rex.

That's actually less stupid than some of the shit in recent F&F movies.

 

[RowdyLesnar]

Fast 9 didn't even make it close to 1bn in box office hence he wants Rocky's starpower to do get there.

Update: November 7, 2021

Vin Diesel Asks Dwayne Johnson to Return as Hobbs in the Final Fast & Furious Installments

Vin Diesel on Sunday asked Dwayne Johnson to make peace and return to the Fast and Furious franchise.

The two superstars had an epic falling out in 2016 when they clashed for the last time on the set of The Fate of the Furious. The two mega action stars made their first onscreen appearance together in 2011’s Fast Five. They have been exchanging barbs in the media ever since Johnson made an Instagram post in 2016 referring to Diesel and in which he questioned his professionalism.

However, it seems Diesel is ready to put the drama behind them.

“My little brother Dwayne… the time has come,” Diesel began on an Instagram post. “The world awaits the finale of Fast 10. As you know, my children refer to you as Uncle Dwayne in my house. There is not a holiday that goes by that they and you don’t send well wishes… but the time has come. Legacy awaits.”

Continued Diesel, “I told you years ago that I was going to fulfill my promise to [Paul Walker]. I swore that we would reach and manifest the best Fast in the finale that is 10! I say this out of love… but you must show up, do not leave the franchise idle you have a very important role to play. Hobbs can’t be played by no other. I hope that you rise to the occasion and fulfill your destiny.”

Johnson could not be immediately reached for comment.

The most recent exchange in their long-running beef happened when Diesel in June said during a Men’s Health interview that his interactions with Johnson were from a place of “tough love.”

“It was a tough character to embody, the Hobbs character,” Diesel said. “My approach at the time was a lot of tough love to assist in getting that performance where it needed to be. As a producer to say, Okay, we’re going to take Dwayne Johnson, who’s associated with wrestling, and we’re going to force this cinematic world, audience members, to regard his character as someone that they don’t know — Hobbs hits you like a ton of bricks. That’s something that I’m proud of, that aesthetic. That took a lot of work. We had to get there and sometimes, at that time, I could give a lot of tough love. Not Felliniesque, but I would do anything I’d have to do in order to get performances in anything I’m producing.”

Johnson, of course, responded.

“I laughed and I laughed hard,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “I think everyone had a laugh at that. And I’ll leave it at that. And that I’ve wished them well. I wish them well on Fast 9. And I wish them the best of luck on Fast 10 and Fast 11 and the rest of the Fast & Furious movies they do that will be without me.”

Following their falling out, Johnson has gone on to star in the spinoff The Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, opposite Jason Statham. That film went on to gross $759 million globally in 2019. Diesel’s latest Fast installment, Fast 9, was released earlier this year and grossed $721 million globally, making it the top-grossing Hollywood film of the pandemic.

Diesel is attached for Fast 10 and Fast 11, from filmmaker Justin Lin. Fast 10 is set for an April 7, 2023 release date from Universal. Lin has described Fast 9, 10 and 11 as being chapters in a trilogy that will close out the main Fast franchise, which dates back to 2001 and made Diesel a global star.

Anyone else feel this is bullshit? Like its just made to gin up anticipation for Dwayne Johnson's eventual return for the final movie?

These things are always held behind closed doors - big money offers and negotiation.

For Vin Diesel to make such a public plea, over social media, to Johnson? After all the supposed bad blood? To have his face spat on publicly?

And Johnson laughing it off like there's no chance, when obviously the #1 factor in deciding what roles to take is money. Period. So he wouldn't be in the movie even for a HUGE paycheck? (Like $20+ million?)

Vin has never been known as the smartest guy in Hollywood, but I highly doubt he would be so stupid to make mistake like this... and that's why I don't think it was a mistake, this is about marketing and buzz.

I bet a deal has already been made, behind closed doors, for Johnson to return for the 'final' movie.

The only way to know for sure, unless its announced prior, is to see the 'final' movie and there is, or isn't, Dwayne Johnson in it.

But based on OP I'm calling it now that he's going to be in the movie.

Fast 9 didn't even make it close to 1bn in box office hence he wants Rocky's starpower to do get there.

To be fair, Fast 9 has made the most money of any theatrical release this year (or last year), because the world is still reeling from Covid.

In another 2 years the world's box office will be back to normal... probably.

diesel was good
I rewatched boiler room the other day and was surprised how much diesel gas become a caricature since those days

He is borderline unwatchable in the F&F movies---over the top try hard. When he screams "This is Brazil" in front of the Rock where he is obviously standing on a crate, I got heartburn immediately from the cringe. Did like him in Pitch Black
