Vin Diesel Directing Fast and Furious Prequel, wonders where career went


While Vin Diesel was out and about promoting his next film Babylon A.D. which hits theaters this Friday he told ComingSoon that he will be directing a prequel to Fast and Furious. Somehow I completely missed out on the fact that a Fast and Furious Part 4 was even in the works.. I guess I just didn't care enough to bother.

Diesel told the site that the prequel will only be 20 minutes and will star himself, Michelle Rodriguez and Sung Kang. The prequel will apparently link all of the films together since part four will actually be a direct sequel to the first installment. He didn't mention however what format the prequel would be released. Maybe a special feature on the DVD, a TV special or possibly a webseries. Yea it sounds a little complicated to me but then again I haven't been too big of a fan of the franchise anyway.

The fourth film is being directed by Justin Lin. Fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) reignites his feud with agent Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker). But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmanuever him. It will be released in theaters on June 5th, 2009.
