Who Wants a FAST AND FURIOUS and JURASSIC WORLD Crossover Film? Michelle Rodriguez Does!
Movie studios with multiple big franchises are always looking for ways to synergize their brands. What Marvel Studios is doing with the MCU is a perfect example of this. Well, Universal Pictures is home to both the Fast and Furious franchise and the Jurassic World franchise, so… what if the two properties crossed over for a film?
This is a question that the cast of Fast and Furious was recently asked at a press junket for F9: A Fast Saga, if it would be possible to see a crossover with Jurassic World. Michelle Rodriguez got super excited about the idea and said:
“I love it, dude! I’m all in! We were talking about this yesterday. It's so funny, but I was talking about this yesterday. Because once you reach a certain pinnacle, there's nowhere to go but to cross-brand and merge. It’s what big corporations do with each other when they get too big, you know what I mean? You just have to brand and merge with each other. But the only thing standing in the way is lawyers, and studios. Because usually the brands that you're trying to merge belong to different studios or whatever. But if it's under the same umbrella? I don't know. I'm just saying it works.”
You know, as crazy as it seems, with the way these franchises are going, it’s not hard to imagine seeing these two franchises cross over with each other! It actually seems like it would work. Imagining the Fast and Furious team racing in their suped-up cars alongside a herd of Velociraptors or other Dinosaurs during some kind of crazy heist seems to make sense in my head. It’s the Fast and Furious franchise! Anything is possible! Dinosaurs almost seem like the least insane thing that they could introduce to the franchise!
F9 director Justin Lin also shared his thoughts on the idea saying, “Well, I’ll never say never to anything. And the fact that part of our philosophy is not to ever be boxed in or labeled … that's all I will say.”
So, he didn’t shoot it down! Seriously though, I doubt we’ll see the two franchises cross over, but is it something you’d want to see?
