Justin Lin says FAST FIVE Sequel is “Going to Happen.”
After bringing in $86.6 million dollars this weekend of course we are going to see a sequel to Fast Five! Hell, Universal Pictures was already planning for it. Fast Five was a lead-in to what will now become a series of heist films. Also if you stayed through the films credits then you saw there plans to propel the story forward. Lin said in a statement,
After this big weekend, we're going forward, It's pretty much 100%. It's going to happen. At five, we're just hitting our stride,. We're growing. People want to continue this journey.
Yes, that includes myself. I’ll admit, after seeing what they did in Fast Five I would gladly head out to see another one of these film. If they can continue to keep it that entertaining, I’m in. Universal Pictures has already signed on screenwriter Chris Morgan, who wrote the third, fourth and fifth installments of the franchise. He has a two-year, first-look deal, and he will also write Fast Six, if that’s what it will be called.
What are your thoughts on the fact that will will see a sixth movie in this franchise?
