Vin Diesel Directing Fast and Furious Prequel

Vin Diesel, who stars in next Friday's Babylon A.D., told ComingSoon.net today that he is directing a 20-minute prequel to Fast and Furious, the fourth installment in the Universal Pictures franchise.

Diesel will star in the prequel along with Michelle Rodriguez reprising her role as Letty and Sung Kang returning as Han. Diesel didn't say how the prequel would premiere; it could be on a DVD, online, TV, etc.

The fourth movie is a sequel to the first installment, and though Diesel didn't elaborate, we assume this 20-minute prequel will tie-in some of the events from the second and third movies. Rodriguez appeared in the first movie, Sung Kang in the third, and Diesel in the first with a brief cameo in the third.

In the Justin Lin-directed Fast and Furious, opening June 5, 2009, fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker). But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmanuever him.

JoeTorre....
Quit hating on this franchise. The movies are pretty much about racing customized show cars. The writers do the best they can with the material they are presented with.

I'm happy to be getting more Fast & The Furious!

The first FnF was the best, part 2 was pure trash...and three was good but should have had a different name not under the FnF label. Should have just called it Drift Kings or something. I do like to par take in the nightly race (have 2001 mustang GT and 2001 ws6 worked) so i do enjoy movies on racing i remember when the first FnF hit it was great...it was just like when i go racing everyone lines up and hits it as hard as they can...but minus the hot chicks....

I Think Whatever works i say the 1st two Fast & Furious were great at least in the fourth will have better cars and a better cast than THE THIRD ONE. Putting BOW WOW in the damn movie was lame. I Hope They ride the new GT-R in the latest movie... drool

The first movie Diesel directed was pretty good, not great, but show promise. It will be interesting to see what he does with this short.
