Diesel And Walker Reunite To Drive FastBy Josh Tyler: 2007-10-03 02:30:24
Great news if you’re a Fast and the Furious fan. Both Paul Walker and Vin Diesel may be back for Fast and the Furious 4! HR says they’re in negotiations to reunite for the fourth installment, set to be directed by third installment helmer Justin Lin.
Diesel and Walker were there at the beginning. In the original Fast and the Furious movie Walker played an undercover cop infiltrating the Los Angeles subculture of street racing while Diesel played the leader of a gang of racers named Dominic Toretto. Paul Walker went on to do a second Fast and the Furious movie, paired with newcomer Tyrese, while Vin Diesel avoided FF sequels until a brief cameo at the end of Fast and the Furious 3. Vin’s cameo was so well received that it ended up being a part of the marketing campaign for the third film, and likely had at least something to do with convincing him to star in another. Getting back into the Fast and the Furious franchise sort of makes sense for both of them. It was the original movie which made them household names, and lately neither actor has exactly been firing off hits. There was a time when Vinny wanted out of the Fast and the Furious thing, some rumors said it was because he didn’t want to share top billing. But now, years later, both Diesel and Walker could use a nitrous oxide recharge. The up and coming, mega-action star he was supposed to become never happened, and Vin has turned himself into a joke by doing movies like The Pacifier. There were rumors for awhile that Fast and the Furious 4 would end up staring Vin Diesel and only Vin Diesel, but it looks like the big baldie has been forced to swallow his pride in the face of rapidly falling stardom. For the persistent Fast and the Furious faithful (yes these people exist), getting them both back in one film is a dream come true. For the rest of us, this might actually make the franchise worth watching again. Vin’s character in the first movie has always been the best thing about these banal fast car, fast women films. Getting him involved again lends the fourth movie instant credibility, regardless of what it’s about. Here’s hoping it involves Vin Diesel punching Paul Walker in the head.
