    Justin Lin Teases Possible 'Jurassic World' and 'Fast and Furious' Crossover

    by

    Universal Pictures

    The ‘F9’ director declares he will ‘never say never’ to the idea of merging the two successful franchises, while ‘Fast and Furious’ star Michelle Rodriguez says she’s ‘all in’ for the potential crossover.

    Apr 15, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    A big studio will surely benefit from having more than one hit film franchise. Just look at Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros., which have been reaping from the box office success of “Godzilla vs. Kong” based on two of their giant monster properties. Now, Universal Pictures may be the next studio to follow suit by merging its “Jurassic World” and “The Fast & Furious” film franchise.

    Teasing the potential crossover was “F9” director Justin Lin, who appeared at a press conference along with the cast to talk about the upcoming movie. When a journalist threw a question about a possible “Jurassic World” crossover, the filmmaker replied, “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.”

    Michelle Rodriguez sounded even more eager for it. “I love it, dude! I’m all in!” she weighed on the potential crossover. The Letty Ortiz depicter claimed that they had been tossing the idea behind the scenes, saying, “We were talking about this yesterday. It’s so funny, but I was talking about this yesterday.”

    Of why a crossover could be in the future of the “Fast & Furious” franchise, she explained, “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.”

    She went on noting how it would be made easier since both properties belong to the same studio, “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.”

    While the “Fast & Furious” has never merged with another franchise, it has spawned a spin-off, “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” (2019), which stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Statham. As for “Jurassic World”, the franchise started with “Jurassic Park” in 1993, before Chris Pratt takes the lead of the revived franchise in the 2015 film. A third film in the new trilogy, “Jurassic World: Dominion”, has wrapped production and is set for a June 2022 release.

      AceShowbiz –
      Vin Diesel’s ten-year-old son Vincent Sinclair is joining the “Fast and Furious” family.

      Vincent, whose mother is Vin’s partner Paloma Jimenez, has already reportedly filmed his scenes in late 2019 when he was 9 and was paid $1,005 (£726) a day.

      A younger Dominic was previously seen in “Furious 7”, with the character played in the 2015 film by actor Alex McGee.

      The youngster will make his debut in the new film, which will be released on 25 June (21), after multiple delays because of the Covid-19 health crisis.

      “Finally!!! Blessed and grateful,” the 53-year-old captioned the post.

      Meanwhile, his co-star Ludacris, who plays Tej Parker, added in the comments, “We Just Gettin Started (sic).”

      The upcoming ninth instalment is directed by Justin Lin. It will see Vin Diesel return with the likes of Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Helen Mirren, and Charlize Theron. Meanwhile, John Cena is among the new additions.

      Rumor has it, the action movie series is bidding farewell with the eleventh installment. Justin Lin is reportedly in talks to return as director for the 10th and 11th movies that will bring a close to the franchise.

      Super Bowl LV: 'F9' Unveils New Preview, M. Night Shyamalan's 'Old' Debuts Mysterious Trailer

      [embedded content]

      The ‘Fast’ sneak peek reunites the big family in addition to bringing back some familiar faces, while the ‘Old’ TV spot sees strange things happening to a family at a beach.

      Feb 8, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Universal Pictures is making use of Super Bowl LV to promote its upcoming movies. The studios released a TV spot each for “F9” and “Old” before the big game, which aired live from Tampa, Florida on Sunday, February 7.
      The new sneak peek for the next installment in the “Fast Saga” reunites the big family at dinner. “The world has a way of changing,” says Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto in voiceover, “but there’s one thing that always stays the same.”
      From there, the mood quickly changes as it previews some high-octane action sequence, including high-speed car chase scene for which the franchise is known. The 30-second sneak peek also teases the return of Sung Kang as Han Lue, Helen Mirren as Magdalene Shaw and Charlize Theron as Cipher.
      In “F9”, Dom has been leading a quiet life off the grid with Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) and his son, Brian Marcos, but is forced to confront the sins of his past as imminent danger threatens his family. He must face his own younger brother Jakob (John Cena), a deadly assassin, who is working with their old enemy Cipher, and who holds a personal vendetta against Dom. It is slated to hit theaters in the U.S. on May 28.
      Diesel recently opened up about his excitement to show the film to fans of the franchise. “Definitely eager to share it,” he told EW. “When you make a good movie, your first goal is to make something that you can be proud of, and in the film business, you learn from the very beginning that when the film gets released, even without the pandemic, is rarely in your control. But when you really think about the quality of the movie, there’s more time you have to work in post-production, more time to get the shots right; it does give you a little bit of a cushion.”

      “I want to get the movie out for all of the great fans who have been waiting for this chapter – and yet look at the world that we live in,” he went on gushing. “It is going to be a special day when that audience is back in the movie theater, celebrating the ninth chapter of this saga that they’ve been so loyal to.”
      “Old”, meanwhile, is an upcoming thriller from visionary filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan. Inspired by the graphic novel “Sandcastle” by Pierre Oscar Levy and Frederik Peeters, it centers on a family on a tropical holiday who discovers that the secluded beach where they are relaxing for a few hours is somehow causing them to age rapidly, reducing their entire lives into a single day.
      It stars Gael Garcia Bernal, Eliza Scanlen, Thomasin McKenzie, Aaron Pierre, Alex Wolff, Vicky Krieps, Abbey Lee, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Ken Leung, Rufus Sewell, Embeth Davidtz and Emun Elliott among others. Marking Shyamalan’s return to the big screen since 2019’s “Glass”, “Old” is scheduled to open in theaters on July 23.
      [embedded content]
      The movie is part of Shyamalan’s two-project deal with Universal Studios that was announced in October 2019. A second thriller film by the director is set for release on February 17, 2023, but the title is currently unknown.

      by

      Universal Pictures

      Lin, who is currently in post-production on ‘F9’, is reportedly in talks to return as director for the last two movies that will bring a close to the franchise.

      Oct 21, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The “Fast & Furious” film franchise is finally seeing the end of the road. Almost two decades since it was launched with the first movie in 2001, the saga is coming to a conclusion with two more films following the upcoming “F9”.
      Justin Lin, who is currently in post-production on “F9”, is reportedly in talks to return as director for the 10th and 11th movies that will bring a close to the franchise. According to Deadline which first reported the news, the final two installments will likely tell a big story that will focus on Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto.
      As it’s noted that the 10th and 11th movies are still on early stages of development, details are very scarce about them. However, it’s highly likely that Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel and Sung Kang will return for the last two movies.

      Though the core storyline following Diesel’s character will conclude with an 11th film, that doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the “Fast & Furious” cinematic saga. Words are spin-off movies based on “Fast & Furious” characters are currently in development at Universal.
      The “Fast & Furious” franchise was kicked off with its first film which was released in 2001. It has spanned eight movies and a spin-off, “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw”, which centers on Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Luke Hobbs and Jason Statham’s Deckard Shaw.
      The “Fast” franchise, including the “Hobbs & Shaw” spin-off, has grossed $5.89 billion globally. The next installment in the saga, “F9”, was originally scheduled for a 2020 release, but it has been rescheduled to May 28, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
      Lin directed the “Fast” films since its third installment, 2006’s “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift”. While James Wan and F. Gary Gray were at the helm of the seventh (“Furious 7”) and eighth film (“The Fate of the Furious”) respectively, he’s brought to return for the ninth installment.

      The upcoming Bond movie was initially scheduled for release in April of this year. Due to the spread of COVID-19, in March, MGM and Eon Productions announced that after “thorough evaluation of the global theatrical marketplace” they had postponed the release of “No Time to Die” until 12 November 2020 in the United Kingdom and 25 November 2020 in the United States. The U.S. release date was later brought forward by five days to 20 November 2020.
      “No Time to Die” is directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, with Daniel Craig reprising his role as James Bond. Rami Malek is cast as the mysterious villain Safin and Lashana Lynch is added as a “00” agent, while Lea Seydoux, Ben Wishaw and Naomie Harris are among the returning actors.

      'Fast and Furious 9' Going to Outer Space, Michelle Rodriguez Confirms

      by

      Universal Pictures

      The Letty Ortiz depicter lets slip a juicy detail of the upcoming installment of the action film franchise when asked about the rumor which was first sparked by her co-star Ludacris.
      Sep 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Michelle Rodriguez couldn’t hold back her tongue when talking about “F9”. The Letty Ortiz of the “Fast & Furious” film saga has let slip a juicy detail of the upcoming installment of the franchise when stopping by SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Show” on Thursday, September 10.
      During an interview with hosts Jess Cagle and Julia Cunningham, the 42-year-old was asked if she was heading to space with Ludacris, who first teased the space venture in the ninth movie. Surprised at how they found out the information, she failed to keep her cool and inadvertently confirmed it.
      “Oh, no way. How did you guys find that out? See what happens? People start talking behind the scenes, man,” she responded, not denying the said plot detail. Blaming in on the long gap between the eighth and ninth film, she speculated, “When a movie doesn’t come out and forget about it, things get out.”
      “Nobody was supposed to know that,” Rodriguez went on claiming, not realizing that she only made it worse. She eventually gave an answer to the actual question as saying, “Oh, well, no, I’m not, I’m not, I’m not lucky enough to hit space.”
      The “Avatar” star also revealed that the movie’s writing team includes a female writer, something which she had been pushing for. “…we did get a female writer and showed a lot of love, I think, on this one,” she shared. “Thanks to…Justin Lin. We were able to, to find a little bit more attention and love for the girls in the movie. And so I’m really hopeful that that, that shows through in the final product.”
      “Super grateful that they were open to it. I wanted a female writer. I wanted all the females in Fast & Furious to get some love,” she continued to show her appreciation for the movie execs for listening to her aspiration. “The thing is, is that all the guys are focused on the guys, period,” she explained, hoping for a change with the addition of a female writer. “And so I just know that if I bring up a female writer and she might care a little more about the female story.”
      “F9” was originally slated to hit theaters on May 22 of this year, but it has been pushed back for almost a year due to COVID-19 pandemic. The Vin Diesel-starring movie is now scheduled to open in theaters on April 2, 2021.
