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.

I love Tokyo Drift, i freaked when Vin Diesel showed up at the end. Any way it would be awesome to see how Dom knew Han.
Cant wait for Fast and Furious

I would much rather see a new Riddick than a new Fast and Furious...cmon Vin you promised us more Riddick but all your given is more F&TF....I know the second one wasnt all that great but that doesnt mean a third one wouldnt be.

For me..F&F 2 never existed, but part 3 was excellent.

1st one was pretty damn good the 2nd one sucked horribly and 3rd was just as good as the 1st. And what is it with tes people say it reminds them of their street racing days. WTF mate? Ive been to and in plenty of races and none of them were this fast paced or people filled....I think someone is trying to act like they are cool. and a Mustang? omg please...no way in hades you can feel the rush of racing in a mustang....of any kind....geez.

@ dg
this takes place between the 2nd and 3rd.

Im so excited about this movie coming out. The 3rd one was dumb and should have never been part of the series in the first place. My fave. thing about these movies tho is that they let the girls race instead of just standing there n looking pretty. Girls like fasr cars too.

This movie was ment to be fun for all us automobile/streetbike freaks. It's not ment to have Oscar worthy acting. It's a "Feel Good Summer Movie" And I cant believe the loosers on here who thought Tokyo Drift was "Awesome" It sucked! I liked 1& 2 was okay, and from the looks of it I am sure I'll like 4. I do find it funny however that now they have to resort to stealing gas as oppose to the first one where gas was like 1.99 a gallon. Shows how times have changed.
