FAST SIX Too Fast And Furious For One Film! It's A Two-Parter!!!
Beaks here...
Seems those FAST AND FURIOUS boys got themselves a whole heap of story to work through.
The Hollywood Reporter recently caught up with Vin Diesel, and the barrel-chested thespian has revealed that the sixth installment in the FAST AND FURIOUS franchise will be split into two parts. Quoth Vin...
"With the success of this last one, and the inclusion of so many characters, and the broadening of scope, when we were sitting down to figure out what would fit into the real estate of number six, we didn’t have enough space..."
"We have to pay off this story, we have to service all of these character relationships, and when we started mapping all that out it just went beyond 110 pages,” Diesel explained. “The studio said, ‘You can’t fit all that story in one damn movie!’"
Well, I hope they take their time to get it all right. Actually, I don't really care. Just spend the next few months figuring out how to top the crazy set pieces that made FAST FIVE by far the best in the series, and we're good.

yeah guh
-
sounds ok. fast 5 wasnt bad but it wasnt good eithher
-
For those ten seconds or less, I'm free.
-
Most of them, at least. Good, crazy, stupid fun.
-
Simple enough to me.
-
turned it off after the fight. It sucked shit but now I'm kinda curious to see what they did with the badguy. I guess it was the least shit sucking of the series but that's like saying getting one eye ripped out is better than 2
-
now we can work on story and character
justin lin is getting better -
Enough of the cash-grab two-part films. If you want to make two, just make a part 7 later.

Fast 5 had incredible action BUT the "Heist" part of the film was terrible.
by bigtuna
It actually made the film drag seeing these characters do the cliches Ocean's 11 shtick. It did not work. The first 20 minutes of the film is fantastic however.

How does jacked up dudes flexing, top 40 hits playing and cars driving fast take 2 films
by kidicarus
Is the story that deep?
-
inquality in comparison to a real movie. Incredible? Sorry that shit was passable
-
with diesel and the rock really made it for me- truly great. I´d love it if Stallone got these two for Expendables 3. Diesel would almost be guaranteed not to be game but the rock, I think, with his current drive to get to be a part of the franchising game in this and Joe, would be quite available.
-
110 pages
Each page of a script is supposed to be one minutes of screen time.
So 1 hr 50 min they couldn't fit in one movie huh?
Bad script writing -
Me like car. Car go fast is good. Car blow up is gooder. Me want see this movie!
-
Maybe in this one Paul Walker has a stutter.
-
It doesn't matter. The Rock will smack Vin silly the next time around. Kidding aside, if they can make good movies back 2 back the way the Hobbit is being shot, Avatar2&3 will be shot and they way Red Cliff was shot, then I'm all for it. But Matrix 2&3 wasn't the greatest. Red Cliff was ok.
Makes economic sense for the studios, spend 200mil and make 2 movies... instead of 150 mil for 1(ok or maybe 130mil).
-
They just don't make em like that anymore. BRING IT DOM!!!

Haha Beaks! I dont care either. Especially with great trailers rolling out for next year, its very hard in fact to give two shits about this franchise... And seriously...
by stiguy
.. A little tired of people bowing down to Fast Five. The sequences were not that impressive, jeez. (See MI4, wowzers!) Anyways yeah, fast five and all before it were steaming piles.
-
I wouldn't mind them going back to something more like that.
I tried to watch 5 but got bored after a while. I'm not sure I like any of the main characters enough to want to see their relationships "serviced" over the course of two films. -
Some movies are mindless fun. I don't see what makes the Fast franchise any better or worse than any other guilty pleasure.
I only saw the first one, as this isn't my kind of guilty pleasure. But people need to stop making fun of the fans of this franchise. From what I can tell, it doesn't pretend to be anything that it isn't. -
So shoot me.
-
Imagine, even more blatant product placement, this time in eye blistering IMAX 3D!
-
That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. ;)
-
Sorry, I hate to be profane but this is all about squeezing every penny while the franchise is hot. It's no different than the Harry Potter finales, the Twilight finales, etc. I think we're starting to see the beginning of a trend that will quickly wear out its welcome.
F&F isn't Shakespeare, or the Ring Cycle, it's a movie about cars for chrissakes. -
Fuck Yes !
This time they could have Ice Cube doing a hand stand on his bike while he makes that call. I'd drive 2 hours to that shit in IMAX ! -
the excitment got to me there.

You can get away with the multiple-parts scam bullshit...
by ricarleite4
... if you're filming something like The Hobbit. Fast and Furious? A multi-part saga? No I don't think so. Fuck you.
-
Dec 21, 2011 10:53:12 AM CST
F6ST: Part 1: The Fastest and then 5 months later F6ST: Part 2: The Furiousest......that's all I got....and that's all this deserves.
by dogmatic
-
Are like TV shows. Plays with multiple parts (hell, Shakespeare got on THAT gravy train), or series books. What the hell--multi-part stories have probably been with us since stories were invented thirty thousand or so years ago.
Fans who enjoy the characters and style will go. Others will stay home.
I'll be there, munching popcorn all the way. -

Fast is fun and all, but this shit is getting ridiculous
by openthepodbaydoorshal
-
... there is a scene of Jordana Brewster and
Elsa Pataky, naked and 'scissoring' ...
-
Cars go fast. That's all the story there is to a Fast/Furious film.
-
help, somebody?
-
No time to enjoy it
-
Yay, another movie that can be one, stretched out over two! I can't wait to give them my $20 dollars. :/

Sam Jackson reprising his game role
-
Had zero interest in these movies before the last one. Best addition to a series ever.
-
Absolute shitsplatter.
-
But yeah, the last two movies have been fan-fucking-tastic! It's like a TV series that finally hits it's stride in year 3.
-
Dec 21, 2011 12:22:48 PM CST
Would be better were these R rated, but they are still fun
by the_rising
-
Fuck Sam Jackson though. I'm sick of his schtick. It's way past it's shelf life.
It would have to be hyper fucking violent. It would be a cross between Scarface and F&F.
It would have to have:
1) Prostitutes and prostitute fucking
2) Assassinations
3) Insane high-speed chases with an eventual massive showdown with S.W.A.T. -

Gotta give them credit for getting this much mileage (harhar) out of this junk...
by zombie_fatigue
Conventional wisom would say they'd be in DTV territory by now.
-
...there was only one race depicted in the entire film, and they were all the same model (stolen police cars). Every other race was hinted at, set up....then cut to driving the trophy back to the shop. And then at the end, Walker and Diesel are finally going to race. Big set up.... and cut to animated sequence of their cars driving around as credits roll.
And the vault-dragging scene was just fucking stupid.
The Rock and Diesel fighting was entertaining, but they dropped the Furious from the title, then dropped the Fast from the story.
I can see all those cars sitting still for free.

Of course Vin is excited his paychecks are from Fast and Riddick only

@ToughGuyRizzo, unfortunately it seems like a lot of people care b/c they keep making these stupid movies.
by dogmatic
-
Fast Five was awesome, and this can only be good news.
There may be those who are critical, but have they seen Fast Five? -
..would actually pay for another if it holds up to what they did.
And the Rock was a goddamn monster in that movie! -
Dec 21, 2011 1:54:08 PM CST
What the??? This isn't Harry Potter or The Hobbit or *shudder* Twilight, this is The Fast and the Furious, for heaven's sake. It's not based on a book or anything.

Aren't they bringing Michelle Rodriguez back from the dead for this?
by mugato5150
She's one sexy dyke. They're resurrecting her for Resident Evil too, which is in a way even more unbelievable. I realize it's a zombie movie but she was already a zombie when they killed her. This is not 'Nam, Smokey. There are rules.

Small dicks - FACT!

Yeah, Vin Diesel is gonna be doing these Fast & Furious movies until he hits retirement age. Can't wait for FAST THIRTY-FIVE: WHEELCHAIR WARS
by mr_incredible

These movies have all been such crap.

Elevated Eleven
And what if we had a GTA game where we get something similar to what was in the game. But the story ends with the cops killing the main guy before he accomplishes his final task. Leave the audience wondering WTF. I'm sure the majority of people who played GTAIII only used cheats to fight the police. Who actually finished the story to the end? -

Fast Five was complete and utter garbage. What these idiots call "story" is a joke.
by kevred
I bought all the great word-of-mouth Fast Five got, and was appalled to see it was just a pile of ludicrous junk. Utter crap in every way, a complete waste of time.
Now these morons are trying to tell us there's some kind of magical, meaningful plot resolution that takes two films to wrap up? Nonsense.
This is a manufactured pseudo-event for marketing purposes. The studio sees cash to be had in HP/Twilight-style film-splitting, so they're going to stretch the usual bunch of garbage over two garbage films. -
Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that just make it part 6 and part 7? Not part 6 split in two...

They should make a spin off about car salesmen called "FAST & SELL"

My name is Internet Nerd, and I want to be your best friend! I like to talk shit about things on the forums of the internets not because I don't like them, but because that's the only goddamn social interaction I will ever have with anything other than Siri on my iPhone.
ROAR! I FUCKING HATE WHATEVER IT IS THIS POST IS TALKING ABOUT! ROAR!
Fuck all those non-believer fucks who think that whatever we are complaining about is cool! Fuck them because WE don't like it so it has to be shitty! Fuck the fuckers responsible for posting this fucking bullshit for us to comment on! Fuck them! we hate them too! But don't fuck me or us for coming here to say fuck them because we don't like to be fucked, because if we liked to be fucked, we would have better things to do than to bitch about shit being shitty because it exists in the first place, even if it isn't shitty shit!
And don't even fucking point out that in THIS case, i saw all five shitty shit fucking fast and furious movies, depsite the fact i think they are all shitty shit, because i'm an expert on the internets, foul sirs and madames! Fast and Furious 5 was shittier that all the rest of the shitty shit which I can say becuase I DID see them all in theaters AND own them all on DVD, because it's fucking RESEARCH!
Fucking shitty ass shit movie! Fuck those fuckers! I can't wait for the fucking trailer to come out. -
The reason they all bag it out despite it not trying to be soemthing it isn't, is because its fun and simple, and the elitist wangs that are on here can't find a high horse to jump on and get behind these movies.
Basically they rag on everyone for not being as smart as they are and not liking their movies because it takes a certain level of intelligence to scope the full depth of the movie, and when it comes to movies where you just watch, enjoy and don't have to think, they bag the shit out of the people who are "amused" by the shiny.
They're good movies for what they are, my only criticism about fast five is the cars took a bak seat to the man-lovin between vin and the rock.
-
...demand a 2 part feature length film to accomodate its 6th installment? i.e. Friday the 13th - Part 6 - Pt1 & 2. Jesus, just get some better writers to refine your 'epic' story or split it into two films. Or better yet, don't bother making them at all.
-
Like Lord of the Rings, just to make sure all those loose ends are tied up.
-
I thought Tokyo Drift is the last movie in the series. I enjoyed that one immensely, by the way.
-
Fast Five was still one of the most entertaining movies that I saw this year. It's cheese, but tasty cheese. I like to be entertained when I plop down my $10.
-
you made my day, thank you, have'nt laughed so hard in a while

There just too much plot to possibly fit into the next Fast & Furious as a single film?
by stegman84
Sure there is, Hollywood. Sure there is.
Next up, the three part filmic epic that is The Smurfs 2. -

Justin Lin is not getting better as a director; he got worse.
by reise reise
I actually liked "Fast Five" quite a bit but Justin Lin has yet to follow up on the promise he showed in his terrific indie film "Better Luck Tomorrow." The attention to character and drama he showed in that film has pretty much gone missing in all of the films he has made since then. Also, despite having such a small budget, "Better Luck Tomorrow" is one fantastic-looking movie. I never really thought he would end up being master of the Fast and Furious franchise.
-
Though, in retrospect, he's always been right too.
But when he came back for the fourth film, he said that film was the start of a new trilogy. And he said that about the 5th film. So he's aiming a little lower now, saying the 6th film is only part of a two film plan.
Which means he'll probably go back to talking about how the next Riddick film is actually part of a new Riddick trilogy, just like the last one was.
On a side note, I may be reading too many Vin Diesel stories. -
With the exception of Transformers 2, it's probably the worst film I've seen in recent years. Although I at least got some unintentional laughs out of it, which is more than you can say for transformers.
-
Back to the Future 2 and 3 were supposed to be one movie called "Paradox" and they decided to make it 2 films strictly for financial reasons.
They made 2 smaller films, that made WAY more money combined.
So blame Marty and Doc. -
If they're going to go ahead with that idea, then I think they should just go completely bugnuts with the titles in future. I look forward to seeing 'Fast & Furious 6: Part 3, Episode 1, Chapter 4' on a 30-part series of character posters that fit together to form an über-poster the length of the Bayeux Tapestry.
-
My brother loves these movies - he also loves Transformers DOTM, Hangover 2, Captain America - so he's easy to please. He calls me a movie snob coz i can't insult my brain with this crap. I LOVE a good action movie, but 2 hours of ape men sweating and swearingthru a script deprived movie then bonding in homoerotic clinches....Not my thang!
My brother insisted i'd like FF5 'So much better than the others with wayyyy better story' His words. So to avoid any feudin' i sighed and agreed to watch it................
DRIVING A GIANT TABLE TRUCK ALONGSIDE A TRAIN, BLOWING SIDE OF CAR FROM TRAIN, DRIVING RACING CARS OFF OF TRAINS AND LANDING FINELY TUNED CAR IN PRISTENE CONDITION IN THE FUCKING STONEY DESERT...REALLY!!!!
THE HEIST; SWEET JESUS WHEN THIS STARTED I THOUGHT I'D GOT IT WRONG & FF5 WAS A COMEDY!!
MY BRAIN CAN'T COMPREHEND JUST HOW AWEFUL IT WAS....THAT WAS UNTIL THE CLIMAX OF 2 SPORTS CARS DRAGGING A 50 TON SAFE ALONG A ROAD WHILE MAINTAINING FULL SPEED AND CONTROL, CRASHING SAID SAFE THRU BUILDINGS, NO ONE IS KILLED WHILE THIS MADNESS GOES ON, AND ON AND ON, REALLY REALLY REALLY!!!!!!!!!
I FELT SO DUMB AFTER WATCHING THIS I HAD TO READ TWO CHAPTERS OF MARCEL PROUST TO SAVE MY BRAIN!!
I returned the movie to my brother and had to agree with him, 'you're right' I said 'It was better than the others. He smiled and nodded. I no longer answer the phone. -
Dec 22, 2011 4:22:29 PM CST
Yeah, I also LOL'd at the 'we have to pay off all this story' quote.
by orbots commander
As if people go to F&F movies for the story. (chuckle, snort)
The movies are fine for what they are, but let's not pretend that the characters are anything other than cardboard cut outs, most definitely not involved in epic spanning story lines requiring multiple continued installments.
The movies are great car stunt work, with a threadbare 'plot' to hang all the action on. -
Dec 22, 2011 4:26:05 PM CST
In fact, the characters were so thinly drawn that...
by orbots commander
...walking out of Five, I could barely recall what Walker's and Diesel's character first names were. I kinda still don't, but honestly, that's the point, nobody's there for the character drama. LOTR it ain't.
-
and of course,
Fast & Furious Revolutions. -
Fast Five was an amazing action film, but I still think Tokyo Drift is by far the best in the series.
-
The "buy in" was that first scene, where a bus loaded with people hits a car and flips. THAT is the moment to get up and leave the theater and get your money back.
But if you stay...you have elected to watch a movie with Bugs Bunny physics, that only makes sense on its own crazy terms. A fantasy as surely as the Harry Potter universe. You don't watch Potter and then say: "but magic doesn't exist!"
This is a movie where physics is bent til it cracks, massive damage happens at top speed in the midst of crowded venues and no innocents are hurt, and the good guys, such as they are, are bad guys because the bad guys are good guys...or something. Oh, who cares? I simply dialed my head down to thirteen and had a wonderful time. I hope those of you who didn't got your money back.
