A subdued, late start this Saturday at LMO. Last night was supposed to be a quiet one, staying in with some movies and TV to catch up on.
So anyway, there I was in the wee small hours in a German Bierkeller singing drinking songs to an Oompa band. Today I am not in my happy place. For some reason my calves ache, and I am pretty sure my liver is angry with me.
Speaking of crazy things that make no sense, Fast And Furious remains one of the biggest franchises of all time.
Last time we saw Dom and his “fambly”, it seemed the power of car had deserted them and we were left on one hell of a cliffhanger.
Meanwhile, Michelle Rodriguez, Charlize Theron, and Gal Gadot were up to something on a submarine. Pillow fights, I hope.
So everyone is expecting some kind of resolution.
The chatter was that the series would be returning to its street racer roots in LA to close out the franchise, and that CG and stand ins would be used to bring back Brian.
An April 2027 release date was pencilled in, meaning a shoot needs to start by about January next year.
Since some brief comments from Vin Diesel back in June… nothing.
Now, even the main bad guy from these last instalments doesn’t know what is going on.
Jason Momoa gave an interview to The Playlist and said he knows nothing and doesn’t even have a script. If the stars haven’t got a script yet, then a January production start looks even more unlikely.
Of course, they could just leave it. That would be the hilariously ballsy move that would also elevate the entire franchise by way of giving it the most epic ending since… well, this one:
Go on… do it!
