I think he just thought The Expendables was shit (and it was.) Seriously, that movie should have been so much more fun than it was.

Was watching a talk show last night and I guess Michelle Rodriguez didn't know her character was still alive until she saw Fast Five in theaters. Great way to prank a former co-star "And you get to be a movie star again! Yah!"

Russell playing a heavy would get me to see this.

I hope this is as much fun as the previous two, but I don't know if "gritty" is what this series needs. Wan is more of a dark thriller director, so I am guessing a lot of 2nd unit stuff will be required for the car sequences.

I would bet money Kurt Russell will play the villain the flick sets up for Fast and Furious 8 based upon the fact he's taking over the spot originally offered to Denzel.

If Russell is cast, it will probably no more than a 5 minute cameo.

Djimon Hounsou is adding his muscle to Universal’s Fast & Furious 7, the studio announced today. The sequel is set to unspool July 11, 2014 under director James Wan. Hounsou is represented by CAA, manager Peter Safran and Sloane, Offer, Weber and Dern.

He's awesome in the French action film, Special Forces. Can't wait to see him in my favorite franchise.

He's always awesome.

I'd love for him to be the king of Wakanda.

This is starting to get that "bloat" feeling that has typically ruined a franchise. To many people to satisfy because everyone is going to need their "moment'.

Yes, let's kill a franchise that's making more and more money 5 sequels in, with good reviews to boot.

Reminds me of the guy that called people "dense" for enjoying these.

I cared nothing for this franchise till Fast 5. That was a good movie. Would never watch the first 3 again though. Still haven't seen 4.

You should see 4.

Yeah. That one pretty much starts up with what I eventually cared about this franchise.

While four is integral for reigniting the franchise and establishing plot points for five and six, it's by far the weakest entry in the franchise.

It is miles better than 2 and 3.

4 is slightly better than 3 but that's not saying much. 3 has the edge in one area though, it's at least memorable in how terrible it is while 4 is just utterly forgettable.

2 is a blast, up there with 5 & 6.

2 was the homoerotic comedy right?

It's certainly the most generic, though I'd argue that 3 was probably weaker since it pretty much had nothing to do with anything.

What gave you that idea? All of the stick shifting? Seriously, the homo-eroticism quotient in most action flicks is generally off the scale anyway. And they're pretty much all comedies, it was 5 & 6 that finally embraced with their gleeful disregard for any logic of laws of physics.

The vibe that Tyrese was going to go facehugger on Paul Walker in any given scene.
