Fast & Furious 4 Rumours
US, August 29, 2007 - Just days after it was revealed in the trades that Universal wants to put a fourth The Fast and the Furious before cameras by March (to avoid the looming industry strikes) -- this despite not having either a script or a director ready -- comes the first casting rumors for the film.

According to the automotive consumer site Edmunds.com's Inside Line, citing sources close to the first three Fast and the Furious films, "it's rumored that the next film will reunite many characters and actors from the first three including Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson and Lucas Black."

Edmunds also claims, "Obviously the story will once again center around automotive mayhem of the most intense sort, but the rumor is that this time most of the action will be set in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil."

The site adds that the cars for the film might include a 1970 Dodge Charger (which also featured in the first film), the new Dodge Challenger, the Chevrolet Opala and perhaps a 1987 Buick GNX for Vin Diesel's character.

FAST AND FURIOUS 4 update
So the Fast and the Furious 4 rumours are coming true as more of the original cast return for the fourth outing in the Fast and the Furious franchise, currently called The Fast and the Furious 4, the more I hear about it the more interested I am getting.

Jordana Brewster is set to reprise her role as Mia, Dominic's sister as he's in negotiations to reprise the role. We already heard that Vin Diesel is set to return as Dominic and Paul Walker as Brian.

There's also the full story revealed, more than the last rumour we heard.

So the reason that Mia is returning is that she is taking a special item back to Dom...now there are spoilers ahead so if you don't want to know anything more about the story then don't read on.

Mia is delivering the car of one of Dom's ex-lady friends, and I say ex because she's dead. Who would that happen to be? Well according to Moviehole through JoBlo it's Letty, played formerly by Michelle Rodriguez.

As for the rest of the plot, well that's been revealed too, and Clint usually has a good inside ear for these kind of things.

It seems that Brian has been doing time for letting Dom go and all the related trouble and strife he caused. However Brian has made a deal with the authorities to let him go and he'll help bring down a crime boss called Braga who is importing heroin, and very successfully too by the sounds of it.

He gets out and wins a street race with Braga's number one guy Jorge Campos and he worms his way in after making friends with him. He meets Dom again through an informant and pulls him into the operation as well, extending the deal to let Dom go if they both nail Braga.

That's a great scoop from Moviehole, and an interesting story for Fast and the Furious 4. I'm actually thinking that this is a really strong story and sets the whole buddy relationship up well for the film. There's a lot of tension in their already and this just adds to it, and this time they really are working together to set them both free for the end of the film.

What do you think? I'm a mix of film and car fan so this one hits well with me, especially as I like the two leads too. Entertainment it might be, and heavily biased towards the petrolhead, but I really like that, especially when there's a strong story in there too.

Looks like the whole gang is back for more action and more rides as USA Today has unveiled the first images of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker in 'Fast and Furious 4'.

Coming back are Michelle Rodriguez as Letty and Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto, and joining the film are Laz Alonzo, John Ortiz. Directing the film is Justin Lin, who helmed the last sequel, 'The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.'


The film follows Brian (Paul Walker) whom is freed from prison (the authorities found out that he let Dominic played by Vin Diesel go at the end of the first film) to help the feds stop a heroin importer known as Braga. With the help of an informant named James Park, Brian – and ultimately Dominic Toretto – wins a place on the criminal's team, where he – and his flashy Nissan plan to catch the man red-handed.

Universal Pictures will release the film in 2009
