Universal has just announced the next Fast and the Furious movie will hit theaters May 24, 2013 (which is Memorial Day weekend). You might remember that Universal showed a Fast and Furious 6 promo poster at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas last week, so the 2013 release date was already known.  What we didn’t know was the date.

According to the studio, Neal H. Moritz and Vin Diesel return to produce, and director Justin Lin is again helming the franchise.  According to Variety, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson will all be back and we already knew Fast Five screenwriter Chris Morgan was writing the 6th installment.  With Fast Five set to cross $600 million at the worldwide box office in the next few days, it’s no surprise Universal wants the next installment in less than two years.  Since Fast Five did a great job at reinventing the franchise, I’m ready for the next installment.  What about you?

    I’m ready! I have loved every Fast movie since it’s inception. I’m glad that they are not wasting time and are going to be putting out number six. I wonder if Fast Six does as well as Fast Five, will they make a Fast Seven? Vin says 4-6 are part of a trilogy, but I don’t know if he ever said it was final.

    Wow, there sure are a lot of stupid people out there

    • H20 @

      I know right, Fast Five should be over 750 mil by now

    • Joey @

      Don’t like it don’t watch it, now who’s the stupid one to watch and watch, turn around and call every body stupid….eeeeuggh!
      stupid say’s what?? thought so. Fast five was a rush!

    “…I’m read for the next installment. What about you?”

    There’s a typo you might want to fix.

    I love the franchise but really!! A 6th. I believe Fast five ended on good note leaving the fan happy with a logical ending. What more could they do?? Just sayin I feel they could end the series and stand as one of the best franchises in time. Another installment, I guess but it better be bigger, faster and at least a little of Tokyo drift. Face it FF3 was out of placed in a way

    • Jason @

      A logical ending?! Did you stay til after the credits??? How could they have a murder without a body? I can’t wait for the next installment!

      • Andrew @

        No…No I did not. I was unaware of this. Yet I just don’t wanna see another F&F. I just thought it ended fine. Seemed fine and a great way to end but hey…im just a vioce.

    • sara @

      first of all, the ending of fast five was anything BUT logical, I mean, dude seriously watch it and then think again if you really really really don’t wanna watch a sixth movie! and the reason why Tokyo Drift was out of place is because the movie is supposed to be based AFTER the movies 4-6 that’s why Han dies in the third movie but is back on the 4th, 5th and hopefully on the 6th. I get why you would say that you don’t need another movie because up to the credits it IS a logical and honestly pleasing ending that pleases the crowd but when you see the REAL ending after the credits you really change your mind and you instantly want another one.

    • ryan @

      Tokyo drift was set before five cause if you seen in five the japenese guy was back cause in td he died also in td when vin shows up the jap says yes I’ve worked with him before so tokyo was before five but six will be amazing since latty comes back and they all do a job in germany and mia has a baby to

      • Moses @

        im sorry but your comment sorta pissed me off. 1) “The Japanese Guy” has a name its Han, 2) your entire comment is a typo because for Han to die before the 5th and then show up in the 5th is beyond logical, and 3) if you don’t know a lot about this movies please don’t try and state an argument without doing research your just making yourself look…….slow. lol about the 6th i hope they don’t end it with the 6th cause i really wont be satisfied until they start up from where Tokyo Drift left off and btw Han was my favorite character i was mad when he died i’m hoping that he is in the 6th

      • Casey @

        I can’t stand the flies in the ointment around here.

        If you don’t want another Fast movie, then don’t fucking watch it and go fuck yourselves goddammit.

        Secondly, 2013!? That’s too far away! LOL.

      • Adam @

        How can tokyo drift be before 5 if han dies in TD and is still part of the team in 5. Does noone pay attention?!
        Tokyo drift was intended to be the last one, but with the success of the franchise they couldn’t not make more, so they have pushed it to the end, much like the star wars films. TD is set after both 4 and 5. And I personally believe it may well be the final movie altogether. Everything may tie in with it.

    • Kristina @

      Seriously, i wish everyone on this post did a little bit more research before commenting. If you knew anything about the franchise you would already know that the reason the first 3 movies dont fully fit into the 4th and 5th movies, and why there is alot of holes in the plot, is because they all had different directors, and writers.

  5. steve @

    they need to bring back carter verone, for fast six, because do you remember in 2fast 2furious when he said to brian o conner and roman pearce that i ll see you soon

    • Nate @

      That would be pretty cool, but if he showed his face to Paul Walker and the whole crew Vin Diesel would merk his ass lol

  6. steve @

    Its time for carter verone to come back in for fast six, I think bringing him back will make fast six bad ass

  7. Mike @

    Dude, if Carter Verone came back that would be awesome. but there would have to incorporate that with the return of letty as well. And lets not forget how upset Dom will be after falling in love and moving on while she out wilding out. THIS ONE IS GONNA BE GREAT. WE WANT CARTER VERONE!!!!

  8. steve @

    Mike, justin lin needs to think about getting carter verone back in before he could start filming f&f 6 in 2012,I think its been soon enough sense carter verone told brian ‘o conner & roman pearce in 2fast 2furious that i’ll see you soon

  9. Michael kaufman @

    I feel that it is a great idea to make a6th, cause it is just a great film, and wish they can just keep making them

  10. steve @

    I was surprised when i saw monica fuentes on fast five its been a long time sense, we saw her on 2fast 2furious,when i saw fast five for the frist time i didn’t notice that little scene, but when i saw it for the second time, when she walks down the hall way and gives the files to luke hobbs about letty.

  11. steve @

    Hopefully the next installment will be the continuation of tokyo drift when Han died and would be nice if he got out of that car that exploded when he was being chased by this japanese kid, and they will take revenge of that old japanese dude and take all of his money, just like the way they did in fast five that took place in rio.

  12. steve @

    If monica fuentes is gonna be in fast six,carter verone definitly definitly definitly needs to come back for fast six forsure.

  13. fubi @

    i think that Lety is gona be in sixth part,she’s not dead….and it’s gona be massive…..can’t wait!

  14. Will (Ottawa) @

    I believe its going to twist the minds in the sixth installment. Lety was an undercover for an organization, not a government, and has been on the run herself in Europe in search of the group from Brazil. They show that Felix shoots her, confidently striking her hopelessness under the damaged car as he shoots her to Dom in one of the scenes. We know he wasn’t the most precise man, in confidence he was, but did not succeed in all missions. The next installment is going to lace all the previous movies together, creating a much newer story that we all have grown to love.

    This is my opinion. I just can’t wait, the cars, the story, the intensity.

  15. scott @

    Great film and i cant wait to see the 6th , Anyone else think there could be more yet to come , i do hope so !

  16. fernandez @

    im pretty sure when we all see the movie we will recognize someone that is out of the picture right now..

  17. Jay @

    Something tells me, of all the F&F, tokyo drift is the latest… and other parts are to explain how vin diesel and han ended up in tokyo… anyways, the 5th’s ending was so addicting… cant wait for the 6th installment!

  18. Mark @

    First off, if you all remember in Tokyo Drift Han tells Sean the reason he is in Tokyo is because he was on the run. He describes as like in the old westerns where the bandits make a run for the Mexican border and that Tokyo is his Mexico but at the end of Fast Five he is seen with Gisele riding down the Autobon so there must be something else another job that goes wrong or something and somehow Gisele and him have to break up cause she is not in Tokyo Drift. Secondly, if 6 does well I think they should start the 7th one where Tokyo drift left off with Sean and Dom racing up the tower. Then maybe have it be like a try out for Sean or something as a way of replacing Han in the crew but leave out Bow-wows character cause he sucked.

  19. yomoma @

    i think that it should for seven if their is a seven that it should continue with sean and dom cause i really like most wanted to see that. I also think that mia should have the baby, LETTY should be the ring leader of her new crew, she should run away with dom or something and their group i agree Giesele is either dead or tehy break up i think that idk that it will be awesome

  20. yomoma @

    six will be awesome and Letty is my fav character she was such a badass and suited Dom more so then hes new girl, but he will be so hrut and upset, he just moves on and then she is found to not be dead i’m interested as to how they will find out (the group) i’m wondering why she faked her death and just wondering htf would dom have a flash back of her death when he wasn’t there lol, cool series anyways love the plot the cars and the cast.

  21. Ramez @

    Why start with f&f6 tokyo. Plz start spanish the include vin diesal

  22. Ramez india @

    The movie was fentasy fast5 was team work very good i was realy proud of u . But fast6th starting was tokyo not logical . Fast6th must vin diesal act.

  23. Rsiz india @

    The movie was fentasy fast5 was team work very good i was realy proud of u . But fast6th starting was tokyo not logical . Fast6th must vin diesal act.

  24. john @

    Fast five was an amazing movie the ending was my favorite part how everyone was doing their own thing… I think Han. Will some how run into letty since he was on the road to Berlin where letty was seen hijacking military. Convoys.

  25. matt @

    i think they must make a six! why the hell not i mean, if you love cars and action then why not! just one thing more races please more modding u cars.

  26. Kase @

    The chronological order of the movie is as follows:
    – The Fast and The Furious (2001)
    – 2Fast 2Furious (2003)
    – Fast & Furious (2009)
    – Fast Five (2011)
    – Tokyo Drift (2006)
    – Fast & Furious 6 (2013)

  27. migue g @

    How about this for a story for f&f 6 letty is doing heist jobs for carter verone.. tell me how sick would that movie be..?

  28. steve @

    Carter verone played a good part in 2fast 2furious, justin lin needs to bring carter verone back in for a change.

  29. steve @

    hey fast & furious fans do you think they should bring carter verone back in.

  30. kaedie @

    uoooo *V* i cant wait for that…
    it’s gonna be awesome!! and also i’m looking for letty there~~ >v<

  31. scott brown @

    you need leon from the frist fast and furious his name is johny strong and the girl from the second and put then in the six one because they are still alive no that look good

  32. scott B @

    the line up should be leon from the first one 2 women from the second one all the people frome the five on agent from the frist one and the second paul boss i no he in the six one rum is say but he should be in it and letty should be in it to in that look good

  33. scott B @

    the cast should be for fast six, vin desiel,paul walker.dwayne johnson,michelle rodriguez?,jordana brewster,tyrese gibson,eva mendes,devon aoki, johny strong,ludacnis,throm barry,han,teso calderon,don omar, gal gadlot, no that be a good cast list for fast six

  34. Brad @

    In the fourth, Brian was working with Letty to get braga, so if lettys still alive brian would know, meaning when dom finds out theres going to be a huge fight… and han will be the one who finds her, because they are heading towards berlin at the end of five, and on the files fuentes gave to hobbs, they said letty was in berlin, so letty wont want han telling dom about her, so she tries to kill him, but is only able to kill gisele… not sure how they’re going to fit hobbs ino it though…. they will need an A and B plotline.

  35. Number 1 @

    I love everyone’s comments except for a few who clearly don’t know what they are talking about or the timeline!!! Just like there maybe a love triangle with Dom, his new girl and letty there could also be a triangle with Brian, Mia, and Monica Fuentes if she comes back (which she will as the rock’s partner as seen in the post credits); remember brian and monica had a thing in 2F2F. I really really hope they bring back Varone’s character, and it will be HUGE if it turns out letty is working with him in Berlin. Brad you are right I do believe Brian knows that letty is alive because during her funeral one of the FBI agents says to brian “dang I thought he would show,” IMPLYING THAT THE FBI STAGED LETTY’S BURIAL AND WAS USING IT AS BAIT FOR DOM!!!! I also think gisele dies as well only cause Han seems so sad in japan.

  36. steve @

    I remember brian kissing monica fuentes in 2f 2f

  37. steve @

    I hope we don t see mia toretto and monica fuentes fighting over brian o’conner, just like the same way brian and vince were fighting over mia in A parking lot in the first 1, First of all in 2f 2f brian and monica were kissing and I remember roman pearce saying to brian why are you checking her out for man.

  38. Dave5 @

    The last two movies werent that good. Fast Five has no street racing which is what the whole base of the movie is about. The Police car chase in Fast Five, boring. All the cars were the same, it was a waste of time. Go back to the real grounds of street racing with tuner cars. Fast and the Furious 1 and Tokyo Drift were by far the best and only greatest. the rest were “okay”.

    • JB @

      100% agreed. Tokyo Drift was the best, F&F 1 was also the second best, 2F2F was similar but kind off went off track. Instead of modified cars it’s all about gun crap and supercars. I still love Fast5 and still waiting for Tokyo Drift to be continued in 6 but ut went from a film about cars to guns, fast5 had good aspects… but hey, fast4 was worse in my opinion.

      I want to see a Sprinter AE86 and a fricking Silvia S13 this time :P

    • sean @

      I dont agree with you man that the last two were crappy at least they had a story instead of slot of illegal racing. I loved all fast and the furious movies but fast and the furious and fast five were the best from all the fast and the furious movie.Yes there are 2 more movies and Jason stathom is joning. I would love that all the characters from fast five take part in six.

  39. Brian @

    First of all tokio drift sucked it cuz dum ass writer mixed em up an it never said dom was 2gether wit her it playd off 2 mak u tink dat an even so we all know he will pick letty an ye fast5 wasnt suposed to be bout racin dat not the plot ofany ita featur

  40. Brian @

    If it was all about racing it wood b nascar an the dumb ass who said that the f&f 2& 4 sucked hes stupid with out the 2nd it woudnt hav rome monica no dom in the 4th 5th i hated da cars in da fifth crappy race an all the same i think it was a hold off

  41. Brian @

    An a lead to the 6th but i thought the series was over til i saw the scene after the credits it would still be good if dey left letty out an vince alive an didnt lead you on to make you think dom was in love an got da charger bak the supra an leone

  42. Brian @

    I hope in 6 there will be some racing.. >>>.

  43. Brandon.P @

    I HOPE LEON COMES BACK FAST SIX

  44. Brandon.P @

    BRING LEON BACK!

  45. Tyler @

    I am dying to see the 6th movie I am really young but i have loved fast in the furious since the day i first saw the first movie.

  46. Brandi @

    First of all….I did not like Tokyo drift….it was out of order and not a very well made movie….The rest of the movies I absolutely loved….second of all bringing letty back is a good move and from the way the fast five ended even before the credits you could tell there was going to be another one and for all of you that are trying to be “movie critics” then watch the whole movie before you criticize. Coming from somebody who loves the Fast and Furious movies I could watch them all day…KEEP MAKING THE FAST MOVIES! :)

  47. לי @

    1מהיר ועצבני 6 הוא אחלה סרט כמו כולם , הפעם לא השתמשו באותו תוכן כמו כל הסרטים אך עדיין מותח , מעניין ומסקרן . ! לא הבנתי דבר 1 … איך האן עדיין חי אם הוא מת במהיר ועצבני 3 ?! (למרות שאולי זה לא סרט המשך ) … מחכה למהיר ועצבני 6 . !!!!!!!

  48. Bebiitha Hunn @

    hahahahxD who ever doesn’t like these moviess are a bunch of faqqss!!!!!

    • trolololol @

      So if you don’t like these movies you’re a frequently asked question?

      Or do you mean Fag instead of Faq?

      Either way, I thought we lived in a world were peoples sexuality didn’t matter anymore and wasn’t important. After all there is some fairly important and influential people who’ve been faq’s (opps sorry fag’s).

      I guess too that you wouldn’t want to be in bed with 2 bi chicks at the same time, as they are also classed as having fag tendencies….

      You sound like you have some issues, covering something up perhaps?
