• Fast & Furious Producer Thinks the Franchise Should Get Back to Its Roots

  16-04-2022 17:00
  
  What does the future look like for the Fast & Furious franchise? It’s an interesting question to ask of a series that began with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) leading a crew of young crooks who were stealing DVD players and catching the attention of young cop Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker), only to later progress to going into space and having car fights on the longest runway in cinematic history.
