Who could have predicted that a decade after The Fast and the Furious revved up in theaters, that we'd still be following the speedy saga of Toretto & Co.?
Well, just about anybody who contributed to the franchise's estimated $953 million worldwide box office, that's who. (Boom!)
So here we are, anticipating Fast Five (in theaters April 29th) - the fifth film in the series and big reunion of sorts. Not only does the film bring back Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, its got Jordana Brewester, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang from Tokyo Drift, Gal Gadot, and Don Omar.
Throw in "The Rock" as the big, bad cherry on top.
Dwayne Johnson stars as federal agent Luke Hobbs, a tough cop who will stop at nothing to track down and capture Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel) and Brian O' Conner (Paul Walker), who have fled to Brazil. Casting this pefect is usually found in a fan-fic, not in the screenplay of an actual sequel, but believe me, friends, it's all true.
All doubts were cast aside when I, along with my fellow web journalists, was invited down to sunny Atlanta, Georgia to visit the set of Fast Five and talk to the cast and crew. Allow me to bring you up to speed (zing).
Plus, stay tuned for further interviews with Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Dwayne Johnson!
