June 08, 2005 - Indie filmmaker Justin Lin, who directed the 2002 film Better Luck Tomorrow, is being brought on by Universal to direct The Fast and the Furious 3 (expect a catchier title later) according to today's Hollywood Reporter.
So what's the next installment about? Set in Tokyo, in the underground world of Japanese drift racing, the story centers around Shaun Boswell, who goes to live with his uncle, a military officer, to avoid a jail sentence. They live in a cramped apartment in a low-rent section of Tokyo.
Lin will reportedly shoot the film starting this fall at locations in the U.S. and Asia. Lin's currently completing work on the film Annapolis, starring James Franco, Tyrese Gibson and Jordana Brewster.
Vin Diesel, who starred in the first Fast and the Furious flick but skipped the second, told IGN FilmForce that he might consider returning for the third film. He said, "If it comes together, it can happen. If it doesn't come together, it doesn't happen." There's no indication from the newly released plotline that his character would have a part to play.
We'll keep you posted on the latest.
The way I see it this could either be, quite good or
absolutely rubbish i'm betting on the latter.
