The Latest ‘FAST & FURIOUS’ FAST FIVE Poster release!!!

heyuguys.co.uk

So we had “The Fast and the Furious”, then “2 Fast 2 Furious”, then “Tokyo Drift” (quite literally), then back to basics with “Fast & Furious”. Now we have “Fast Five”, the latest instalment in the now rather long-running and successful franchise. I suppose “Furious Five” would have drawn plagiarism accusations from Dreamworks, re: Kung Fu Panda and in any event I guess they are more defined by their speed than their fury?

In all seriousness, this may not prove to be as derivative as I have made it out to be. Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Jordana Brewster and Tyrese Gibson all return, joined by Dwayne Johnson and Ludcris and directed by Justin Lin, who directed the previous two entries as well as “Annapolis”. Screenwriter Chris Morgan also scripted the last two films, as well as Wanted and Cellular.

Film Filia have a new poster for the film, with the usual shiny cars, moody looks and gratuitous flames, all present and correct.

How do you feel? Hungry for more of this? Or not so much?
