Though the sixth film already has a release date, Vin Diesel confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that it won’t be the last go around for the crew.

Studios – like Ain’t-it-Cool-News Talkbackers – love calling “First!” And with studio tentpole titles, they like to have breathing room. The weekends for big releases are now being called years ahead of time, with films that often have no scripts and no casts. Maybe they have some contractual agreements with the stars – stars often have to sign on for a number of films if the studio thinks they have a franchise – but even there, the cast and crew aren’t always lined up. On that note, Universal has announced that Fast Five‘s sequel will be hitting theaters May 24, 2013.

Another movie that got some prime ad time during last night’s big game was Fast Five. The fifth installment in the long running Fast and the Furious franchise.

Would you be interested in seeing a film that features a decent actor, alongside a bad actor, opposite a horrible rapper-turned-actor? If you like putting yourself through such painful situations you should keep an eye out for Set Up, a new action flick that will have Bruce Willis, Paul Walker, and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson as its leads. How does 50 keep getting legitimate work?

Takers is what happens when half of Danny Ocean’s crew is combined with the team from The Italian Job, and the assassins from 1998′s The Big Hit. These are professional thieves, who dress nice, drive fast cars (and bikes), and aren’t afraid to kill someone when it comes to their money. Takers isn’t a particularly special heist movie but the actors try their best to make it one (and they look pretty good while doing it).

Here’s our review…

The fifth installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise entitled Fast Five has us royally confused.

Over at Collider, they’ve posted a few on set photos that feature the new crew including Paul Walker and Vin Diesel but no Johnson. Take a look…

Do you have a craving for some really bad acting, stagnant fight choreography, and unnecessary and misused explosions? Lucky for you a new trailer for Takers has been released and it satisfies all those requirements. It’s an over the top action film with a premise that’s been used so many times it should be in public domain at this point. Takers stars Idris Elba, Paul Walker, Hayden Christensen, Chris Brown, Michael Ealy, Zoe Saldana, and Matt Dillon. Watch the latest trailer, if you dare…
