Kurt Russell May Join Paul Walker & Co. In Fast & Furious 7

By Leave a Comment

kurt-russellUniversal is keen to get the cameras rolling on Fast & Furious 7 as quickly as possible, in the hope they can get it in cinemas next summer. However before then there are some new cast members to add.

Tony Jaa signed up a couple of days ago, and now one of the other roles has gone, as Variety reports that Kurt Russell is in talks for the film. There’s no news on exactly who he will play. Jason Statham is on major villain duty, so it’s most likely Kurt will either be some sort of boss on the good guys’ side, or a hoary older petrolhead there to give the young guns a run for their money.

Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson all return, with James Wan directing. It’ll be out July 2014.

The Conjuring Sequel Already In The Works

By Leave a Comment

Conjuring-teaser-poster2The Conjuring isn’t due in US cinemas until Friday (and August 2nd in the UK), but New Line Cinema must have a lot of confidence in it, as they’re already putting plans in place for a sequel, according to Variety.

The studio has signed Chad Hayes and Carey Hayes, who wrote the original horror/thriller, to come up with a sequel script. The Conjuring, which as in the way with modern horror is based on a ‘true’ story, stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as paranormal investigators Ed Warren and Lorraine Warren, who investigate the haunting of a farmhouse.

The sequel will move onto some of the other famous cases that the Warrens worked on, some of which have already been turned into movies, such as The Amityville Horror and The Haunting in Connecticut. New Line president Toby Emmerich commented, “We have Lorraine’s permission and support, and we are working on developing another film.”

It’s perhaps not surprising they’re moving forward quickly, as it didn’t cost much to make, but has been receiving rave reviews as the festivals and screenings it’s had in the run up to its release.

It isn’t known if director James Wan will return to direct the follow-up, but it seems unlike as he recently signed up to helm Fast & Furious 7.

Dwayne Johnson Gets A Fast & Furious 6 Poster, But May Be Too Busy For Part 7

By Leave a Comment

fast-and-furious-6-poster4
Dwayne Jonson joined the Fast & Furious franchise in part 5 and is back for the sixth movie this summer. Now he’s got his own poster for the movie, showing off his character, Luke Hobbs, looking a bit tough and moody.

However there may be problems with him coming back for the seventh film. Universal wants it as quick as possible, which means that director Justin Lin has already stepped away, saying he doesn’t have time to finish Part 6 and prepare the next one at the same time. The studio has already moved to replace his with James Wan so they can keep their hoped summer 2013 shoot date and 2014 release date.

If that happens, they may lose Johnson though, as the actor told Collider, “[A Summer shoot] is not possible for me because I’m shooting Hercules [with director Brett Ratner] this summer starting in 6 weeks in Budapest, so, possible for them I’m not too sure. I haven’t heard anything about that and I’m pretty sure I would have gotten a phone call pretty early in the morning if that was the real plan. Not quite too sure though.”

Universal does appear to want to keep Johnson in the Furious family, so they may ensure they can work around his schedule.

Director James Wan Circling Fast & Furious 7

By Leave a Comment

James-WanUniversal Pictures had a problem last week when Justin Lin stepped away from helming Fast & Furious 7 due to the quick production schedule the studio wanted. However Universal still want to aim for a summer 2014 release, so they’ve quickly been looking for a replacement and now Deadline reports that they’re working on a deal with Saw and Insidious helmer James Wan to direct the movie.

Justin Lin directed the last four instalments of the franchise, but didn’t want to be prepping Part 7 as he completed Part 6. He seems quite happy about his replacement though, commenting, “I’m extremely proud to be part of the Fast franchise, it is an experience I will always treasure. It’s time for me to move on to other things and I’m thrilled that Universal and Neal have selected James Wan to lead the franchise into its new chapter.”

Contraband helmer Baltasar Kormákur, Jeff Wadlow and Harald Zwart were also being considered.
