Based on the global success of "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," which grossed $158 million worldwide, Universal has hired screenwriter Chris Morgan to write a fourth installment of the franchise.

Good god. Are enough people watching these movies that they feel the need to keep making them?

I really liked #1 and #3. I don't remember what #2 was about but I know I would've seen it and probably liked it as well.

The franchise did itself a favor by ditching Paul Walker

another thing about that car... the guy (who looked 19, tops) just bought it - it still had the temporary plates. the car was used, so one of two things happened: 1) he got it and immediately had the paint job done or 2) he loved the "2 fast 2 furious" car so much he had to have it. i can't figure out which is more depressing.

I'll go with the 'all show, no go' assumption...

Vin Diesel, Paul Walker reunite for 'Fast and the Furious 4'

Source: The Hollywood Reporter

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are in negotiations to reunite for the fourth installment of Universal's Fast and the Furious franchise. Justin Lin and Chris Morgan, who were behind Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, are returning to directing and writing duties, respectively.

Neal Moritz will produce the as-yet-untitled installment along with Diesel, who will produce through his One Race Films banner.

The story line is being kept under wraps. A spring start is anticipated with shooting in Los Angeles, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

Walkers a douche, and the first was brilliant on cheese factor alone, nothing more. Maybe this will be good, who knows. 3 was WAY better than 2. 2 was unwatchable. three kept my interest as a guilty pleasure. Diesel's an enigma. he turned down FF2 and XXX2 so keep from being typecast, and then he does Pitch Black 2 (whatever it was called) and then re signs for FF4? I wish he would keep doing weird stuff like that film where he played the mobster defending himself. That was a good film.

Liked 1, 2 was only ok. Never saw 3, but would probably see 4 if Walker and Vin were back in it.

I saw 1. I felt there was no reason to see any sequels.

We should have a kumite matching the talent-less Walker against the talent-less Diesel.

Talent or no, Pitch Black was an awesome movie.

Michelle Rodriguez, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Jordana Brewster have all signed on.

I just hope they get a designated driver for Rodriguez...she shouldn't even be able to act like she's driving a car.

Fast & Furious

Release Date: April 3, 2009

Plot Summary: Vin Diesel and Paul Walker reteam for the ultimate chapter of the franchise built on speed -- "Fast & Furious." Heading back to the streets where it all began, they rejoin Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster to blast muscle, tuner and exotic cars across Los Angeles and floor through the Mexican desert in the new high-octane action-thriller.

When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Conner (Walker). But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmanuever him. And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what's possible behind the wheel.
