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.

Vin Diesel is a loser...i don't know why people even watch hs movies...i.e.

The Pacifier
Pitch Black
XXX
The Fast & The Furious

All of them are terrible and I bet that Babylon A.D. will suck too...

Oh...And just cause they take the "the"'s out of the title doesn't make it sound original...

Somehow I can't help but think this is just going to be like the last short prequel to a Fast and Furious movie where it's just a bunch of random scenes stuck together, hmm...

What are you, stupid? Vin Diesel happens to be what action star should be. Capable of pulling off any genre: action (The Fast And The Furious, XXX), comedy (The Pacifier), drama (Find Me Guilty, Saving Private Ryan), & sci-fi (Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick). Plus, his movies managed to become big box-office hits. So, either you're vindictive or just can't stand the fact that this guy act in any genre that movie is placed into.
