Fast And Furious Boosts Universal

6 August 2009 3:11 PM, PDT | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »

Universal Pictures, which has been having a disastrous year at the box office, got some good news from its home video unit on Wednesday. Its Fast & Furious titled roared to the top of the Nielsen VideoScan First Alert DVD and Blu-ray sales charts and topped Home Media magazine's rental chart for last week. Many people who bought the latest movie also picked up the original, too. It returned to the sales chart at No. 10. So did the 2006 release, The Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift (at No.12) and 2003's 2 Fast 2 Furious (at No. 14). »

Jealous Gibson Wants To Rejoin Fast & Furious Franchise

5 May 2009 12:20 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Actor Tyrese Gibson is desperate to star in the next Fast & Furious movie, after the massive success of the latest installment.

Gibson starred in 2003's 2 Fast 2 Furious, but he opted out of subsequent sequels.

The franchise returned in 2009 with its fourth film, Fast & Furious, which proved to be a surprise U.S. box office hit - taking a staggering $72.5 million (£50 million) in its opening weekend last month (03-05Apr09).

And Gibson is so impressed, he wants to jump back onboard.

He tells Starpulse.com, "Listen, love Fast and the Furious, love the numbers it did, love the cast. If my phone rings for five (the fifth installment) I'm right there. They were all beating the door down to try to get me in in four (Fast & Furious). Would've loved to have been a part of it. Didn't work out for whatever reason so my phone is wide open for five and I would love to do it." »

A Fast and Furious $72.5 Mil Weekend

5 April 2009 9:31 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

It must have been the thes that were the problem. Shorn of its franchise's titular articles, Fast and Furious blew away its predecessors and the box-office weekend competition with an estimated $72.5 million Friday-Sunday debut. The performance was the year's best opening by a mile. It was the car series' biggest by an even longer mile.  Drilling down into the numbers: • The Furious franchise's previous best was the $50.5 million taken in by 2003's similarly the-lacking 2 Fast 2 Furious. • With the articles, but without either Vin Diesel or Paul Walker, 2006's The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift earned less in its entire run ($62.5 million) than... »

Fast & Furious Revs Up To Fifth Gear

2 April 2009 12:05 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

The Fast & The Furious star Paul Walker has confirmed the action franchise is to be extended for a fifth time - with plans for a new movie set in Europe.

The actor starred in the original film, The Fast & The Furious, in 2001 alongside Michelle Rodriguez and Vin Diesel.

Walker returned for the sequel, 2 Fast 2 Furious, in 2003 with a different cast but sat out the third installment, 2006's The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Walker reunited with Diesel and Rodriguez to reprise their original roles for this year's sequel, simply titled Fast & Furious - and the star admits movie bosses are already working on another follow up, taking the series to five movies.

He tells MoviesOnline, "It's beyond rumours at this point. I've spoken with executives at Universal and they're pretty serious about it. They're developing it. They know where they want it to take place. They want to do it in Europe." »
