  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,230 ✭✭✭jaxxx


    Any details of the story yet? Brian at home looking after the kid? Or are they gonna kill him off-screen?

    John Cena eh?



    Sorry, couldn't resist.

    I don't think he is in this, he has his own spin off with The Rock

    Reports that Paul Walker/Brian is returning.


    Deep fakes CGI needs to stop.

    That doesn't feel right. Flashbacks or what?

    I totally get him stepping in to finish the 7th movie, but this would just be wrong on so many levels

    I agree, I think Diesel will do anything to try to rival the success of Hobbs and Shaw

    Maybe just kill Brian off screen if Mia is returning

    Now THAT is a teaser!

    Promising but probably worth avoiding and waiting for the full trailer in case it's just a good 54 seconds.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,100 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,230 ✭✭✭jaxxx


    Anyone else choke on their tea when they saw
    Han
    was back?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,213 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Dom in every F&F film: Family. Nothing is more important than family. Family is everything. You guys are all my family, even those of you who only joined us this time. Family family family.

    Dom in this film: Oh yeah, I have a brother. F*ck that guy!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,447 ✭✭✭kerplun k


    F&F trailers never fail to make me grin. This one is no different. This one has to be the most bonkers trailer yet.

    I've literally been trying to find these words or similar to reflect how I felt just after the trailer. I was just sitting there wondering.. what did I just watch? :D

    How is 'he' alive??

    Haha it looks outrageous. When is it out? Fun cinema films


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,495 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1

    So it looks like Cena is playing Dom's brother (a terminator universal soldier :p )

    I felt the trailer was very similar to Hobbs and Shaw from same franchise


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,793 ✭✭✭FunLover18


    I've always enjoyed the F&F movies in hate watching kind of way, they're completely bonkers and refusal to adhere to physics bothers me but I enjoy pedantically thinking to myself "that's ridiculous". But they've now completely removed any sense of jeopardy, not just with *that* reveal but with the constant elevation in action. There's no sense of danger at all. I'll probably still see this but I'm not looking forward to it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,100 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    Also looks like Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) from Tokyo Drift is back too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,081 ✭✭✭ziedth


    It's such an uneven franchise in terms of "quality" with these films. ashamedly I have seen each of them and (to me anyway) they range from excellent to appalling. Howvwer, even for F&F the reveal at the end of the teaser is ridiculous. I can't help but feel it is simply there as Hobbs and Shaw did quite well and they needed to make Jason Statham a bit more viewer friendly.

    Was just on ign and they have the headline spoiling for anyone who wasn't watching the trailer
    How is Han back?

    Anyone else remember how Dom and his crew once struggled to steal DVD players from one trucker on an empty, open stretch of road?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,100 ✭✭✭EoinMcLovin


    Looks like Fast 10 could have 2 parts according to Vin Diesel who in the most recent publication of Total Film said the following.

    “I started planning for Fast 10 before we started filming Fast 9. Very much so. The universe is so robust and so rich with talent and rich with story that, on one level, it’s totally feasible to have spinoffs, and I think that’s something that is inevitable. Universal deserves it because of how much they’ve invested in this little saga, and it’d be good to give back to Universal. And for the fans, should Fast 10 parts one and two be the conclusion, it would be nice for this world to continue for generations to come.”


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,793 ✭✭✭FunLover18


    Just call it Fast 11! If they end an 11 film franchise with Fast Ten parts 1 & 2, it will be the stupidest thing this franchise has ever done!

    Exactly, I think they are just trying to copy what Marvel did with Infinity War and Endgame

    Everyone seems to do it with everything these days. So many TV series are splitting their final series into two parts. Even Bojack Horseman did it and it's a f*cking cartoon.

    I don't mind it so much with series because with network shows there's usually a mid season break, with bingeable shows like Bojack it also spreads out the series. I don't see the MCU as a traditional numeric franchise and things like Hunger Games and Harry Potter, they actually split source material into two parts but the Fast franchise is just a series of films, there's no predetermined reason why they have to stop at 10. I don't mind telling a story across to sequels but call them 10 and 11, don't do 10 Parts 1 and 2, it's completely idiotic.

    11 movies. And still no one has been brought to justice for stealing those VCRs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,284 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    I still don't get why he named the kid after the guy sleeping with his sister.

    Did that car intentionally go on its side through a building, into a truck?

    I would guess it was somehow hooked and reeled in in fulfillment of some ludicrously intricate plan. It seems difficult to explain it otherwise even with movie physics.

    I haven't watched the trailer but how many times does someone mention "family"?

    Surprisingly nobody does. Fast Family is mentioned in text though

    Yeah, watched it there now; 9 movies in it feels redundant to even pass comment on the production at this stage ... but I'm always a little taken aback at how lazy and CGI-ridden the stuntwork is. Fadó fadó in ancient Hollywood, that car smashing through the store-fronts would either have been a (big)miniature or a real, practical stunt using compressed air or whatnot.

    But like I said, it's one of the most successful blockbuster franchises on the planet so what do I know :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,855 ✭✭✭irishguitarlad


    Just watched the trailer for this and I pissed myself laughing the whole way through, I would love to go see it in the cinema and laugh the whole way through it. Between the acting, the stunts, the plot its so bad its hilarious.

    Funnily enough, I just saw a clip from Justin Lin on that stunt and it is, in fact, practical. Just touched up (badly) with CGI.

    That's ... actually kind of amazing. Notwithstanding the fact trailer CGI can be work-in-progress, the entire moment looked utterly fake. Do you have the clip, cos I kinda don't believe you :D;)

    I had to watch it a few times to believe they actually did it :pac:
    The CGI is very noticeable so you'd hope it gets refined a bit for the film.
