The Fast and the Furious 4 Underway Furiously Fast?
August 30th, 2007 in Action, Actors, Idle Speculation, Movie News, The Movie Biz
How fast, you might ask? Well, let’s put it this way: they have no director and no script, and they’re already going before the cameras in March, given them a little over six months to piece together a script, find a director, a cast and then go to work.
The reason being is those infamous strikes we heard about earlier. This is more of a momentous challenge than it seems - scripting itself isn’t a one-shot game. Some might recall the G.I. Joe movie is in its third script incarnation - but Fast and the Furious 4 will have to nail it on the first try, with little or no re-writes, thanks to the WGA strike on the horizon.
There are, thankfully, an abundance of rumors swirling the Internet. Many of them place the action in Rio Janerio, Brazil. The car site Inside Line claims the project with reunite all past leads - Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson and Lucas Black.
But let’s think about this in the context of the strike - you at how swamped stars like Matt Damon from the first of next year from the June 31st deal dealine. While it might be relatively easy to get Paul Walker and Lucas Black, high-demand actors like Vin Diesel and especially Tyrese Gibson (hot off Transformers) might not be so easy.
Thus, while the crossover premises guarentees box office bucks and a good premise to work with, it creates another potential fiasco in the actor department. But given that this is one series probably immune to the franchise bubble, its a risk worth taking, especially given the cast of cars apparently slated, which include: a Dodge Charger, a new Dodge Challenger, the Chevrolet Opala and possibly a 1987 Buick GNX.
For better or worse, drivers, start your engines.

this is how it should go…..at the end of the tokyo drift race between lucas black and vin diesel should get split up by cops…so no one loses or wins…the tokyo cops get organized and crack down on streetdrifing that nite…Latr in the movie diesel and black meet again and look for a way out…bc cops r lookin for dk. diesel gives them the idea to move back to mexico where he came from. There theyll meet brian and tyree gibson in a big street racing event…The four team up and start a team…until one day by (the badguy from 2fast2furious) and give him a deal…

badguy is verone carter) verone carter is in jail but still has connection in the street. He is connected with the one of the highest respected streetracing gang members of mexico that smuggle narcotics into the united states. Walker and Gibson owns a big time garage in Florida, but it gets vandalized by carters people. So from this point this means war. Diesel,Walker,Gibson and Black decide to take revenge and strike back(carters team has been saving money for his bail)…streetracing between teams…Staff from Walkers and Gibsons garage team up and start racing for Diesel, Walkers, Blacks,Gibsons team against the mexican streetracing gangmembers. At the end they decide to make a final race to conclude everything….a 4 on 4….. by the border… they bet thousands of money, but the gang members jeopardized carters bail money for the race. If diesels team won, they get the money and the cars….at the final race they get ready…alot of people/cars are around waitin for the winner.
At the end of the race Diesels team wins and before they get the cash…CARTER and some of his people start shooting…
Diesels team realized that carters team never had the money… so they start running…cops get involved, and Diesels team decide to drive past the border into united states expecting the mexican gang members to stop… but they didnt, what neither of the teams know is that U.S authorities were waiting on Carters team to cross into the u.s territory in case they smuggle more drugs. So the u.s authorities start chasing them…Brian is an off duty cop so he gets them off their back…Carters gets caught and his people…Diesels team go back to florida rebuilding the shop and run the miami streets….

many of readers have had the same question….”carter shows up where”? yes, he shows up after the final race…because…instead of the gang members having the cash, they tricked diesels team and went and bailed carter…
the second most asked question is …”What happens at the border scene?”
The U.s authorities knew that carter still had people smugglin in mexico…so they had his team in surveillance…
until they get caught at the end of the movie…
