Fast (and Furious) Five to hit movie screens next summer

December 23,2010

It seems that Lightning McQueen and friends won’t be the only familiar cars that will be drifting across your cinema screens next summer. Enter Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster and the rest of the Fast and the Furious stars. Teaming up once again with director Justin Lin, the new movie, called Fast Five, will bring in a new face, that of the Rock himself, Dwayne Johnson.

The new movie is set in a time frame following Fast and Furious 4 and before Fast and the Furious:Tokyo Drift. Set in the Rio de Janeiro, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker et al must (all together now) pull off one last job to gain their freedom, assemble their elite team of racers, be chased by federal agents….oh, what the heck, who cares what the story is! Let’s just see the cars and the stunts! From the trailer and publicity photos, the hardware includes a Ford GT, a Nissan GT-R, and a certain Gal Gadot (see photo above). Perhaps we won’t miss Michelle Rodriguez (that much) after all.

(Trailer is for Appropriate Audiences, so younger viewers might want to watch the Cars 2 trailerinstead.)

Here’s the full synopsis:

Former cop Brian O’Conner partners with ex-con Dom Toretto on the opposite side of the law. Since Brian and Mia Toretto broke Dom out of custody, they’ve blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead. But he’s not the only one on their tail. Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs never misses his target. When he is assigned to track down Dom and Brian, he and his strike team launch an all-out assault to capture them. But as his men tear through Brazil, Hobbs learns he can’t separate the good guys from the bad. Now, he must rely on his instincts to corner his prey… before someone else runs them down first.
