Fast and Furious Franchise News!!

Hey guys, Movie Maniac here, and I have some quick Fast and Furious 7 news. It has been reported that Fast and Furious 7, which opens in theaters July 11th, 2014, has just started filming. That's right Fast 7 is a go!

It is also being reported that Kurt Russell's character has been moved from being a main villain to maybe a cameo in Fast 7. The change was confirmed on there Twitter account, as well as other news regarding the film. Now it may sound like a bad decision but here's why they did it, and I quote:

"Kurt Russel was almost about to join #Fast7. He would play the father of Jesse, and he would be Toretto's villain."

"He would work together with @realjstatham in the film, as Ian Shaw in #Fast7, to take revenge on Toretto and his family."

"@UniversalPics was searching for a bad guy for #Fast7, but he would be even more bad in #Fast8."

"With other words, #Fast7 is not the final part of the @FastFurious saga. #Fast8 is also planned. (But no release yet ;) )"

"Hit the #Retweet button if you would like to see @TheLucasBlack in #Fast7! #RealDK."

After reading all those tweets, let me break down all the news that was revealed:

1. Kurt Russell's character was to be the main villain for Dom. He is the father of Jason Statham's character, Ian Shaw, and they were going to work together to fight Dom and the crew.
2. Fast 7 isn't the end of the series, there's going to be a Fast 8!
3. Kurt Russell's character will be the main villain in Fast 8.
4. Lucas Black, known for playing the main character Sean in Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift, may be returning to avenge the death of Han, again, in Fast 7.

The Fast and Furious franchise is really starting to heat up even more! I can't wait for Fast 7 and Fast 8!!

Let me know what you think about these announcements. Are you excited for the next two films as am I? Do you really care at all? Let me know!

And As Always, I'm the Movie Maniac and I'm Frantic about Film :D
