Universal is hoping that the sixth instalment in the Fast & Furious franchise will match the popularity of the earlier movies when it’s released this summer. For a long time we’ve known they were shaking things up slightly by bringing the action to Europe, but we haven’t had many details of the actual plot.
Jeremy Renner is a busy boy, even if he’s yet to truly establish himself as a big box office name (Avengers and Mission Impossible 4 don’t really count). Now he’s lining up a new project, with
