I'm preemptively starting this thread because we all know this is going to be done the week it comes out in theaters next year. Not only is this going to have Jason Statham in it as the villain, but also Kurt Russel in a part that is supposed to play a major role in Fast 8. Also, that role was originally offered to Denzel Washington which only makes the mind race (pun intended) about how that movie would play out with the two time Oscar winner acting opposite Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. That would have LITERALLY be this decades version of the batshit insane face off of actors on different ends of the spectrum similar to when Max Von Sydow had a death scene while talking to Sly Stallone and Rob Schnieder in Judge Dredd. And maybe more importantly is the choice to have James Wan as the director of this movie. Seeing as he's almost exclusively directed horror movies (Death Sentence was the lone exception) it will be interesting to see how he follows up the success that the sixth movie was. I also want to see how he incorporates a saw motif into the movie as that has become his signature. Since I'm sure there will be a scene in Tokyo to follow up the ending of Tokyo Drift, I wouldn't be surprised to see a van designed to look like Billy the Puppet from Saw, similar how Bow Wow had a van that looked like the Incredible Hulk.

Statham is already an Expendable so he's crossing the bridge into the Fast team. Unless Shaw and Lee Christmas are both clones of Chev Chelios and they all exist in the same universe

You must see this! Vin Diesel wrote and directed a short film to bridge the gap between 2 Fast 2 Furious and The Fast and The Furious (Fast 4). It is 20 minutes long, set in the Dominican, 50% in Spanish, and 100% absurd. Please review this as part of a mini-episode. It is so right for the show, especially after the great Fast Six episode. Here is a short Entertainment Weekly write up explaining the back story: http://popwatch.ew.c...d-furious-film/ And here is the actual short movie: http://www.youtube.c...d&v=jpmncFKiXy0
