The cast of the Fast and Furious movies has become such that now each new film adds more players to the roster, along with past cast members who may or may not have been killed off in previous adventures. Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Dwayne Johnson are due back, but what about the new players, and some of the people hinted at returning at the end of Fast Five?
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. A script for the seventh film in the Fast and Furious franchise is being written alongside the sixth film, as Diesel says they’ve already got too many ideas and characters for just one film. As Fast Five was ridiculously entertaining, maybe that’s not such a bad idea.
Jeez—the sixth Fast and Furious film continues to be the speedy little car sequels that keeps destroying the sequels to other franchises that should be long dead. Just as the upcoming Fast and Furious film’s scheduling requirements forced director Justin Lin to bail on production of the upcoming Highlander reboot, it has now also forced Lin to drop out of directing the upcoming fifth and six Terminator films.
One of the biggest films of the year hits shelves this weeks as Fast & Furious roars onto DVD and Blu-Ray. There’s also some SciFi TV on DVD to check out and three worst DVDs of the week.

Alright, so we know what is being released this weekend: State of Play, Crank: High Voltage, 17 Again, Is Anybody There?, Every Little Step, and Sleep Dealer. The last three are limited releases and therefore will not make as much money as the others. And these films are still battling against previous releases, such as, Fast and Furious and Monsters vs. Aliens (which has grossed $251.8 million so far).
It was just reported by Variety that:
Warner Bros.’ Zac Efron pic “17 Again” is expected to come in leaps and bounds ahead of other titles thanks to girls of all ages. Last weekend, this same demo turned out by the millions for “Hannah Montana: The Movie,” which opened to a sizable $32.3 million.
The predictions for this weekend is rather upsetting, and I’ll tell you why…
Below are this week feature film, TV, special edition and horrible straight-to-DVD releases. Check them out below…
FEATURE FILMS
Twilight
Starring: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
Okay. So the phenomenon is finally on DVD. Let the 13-year-old girls and those whose brains are still stuck in adolescence rejoice. Really, this DVD release is about as exciting as a film of a tree growing finally hitting the video store shelves. Come on. Why do we all feed this insipid beast that is built purely on hype and not quality at all? Stephen King really said it best when he pointed out the difference between “Twilight” and “Harry Potter” is that J.K. Rowling can write and Stephanie Meyers cannot. This is the movie equivalent.
Though no amount of bad press will ever stop people from buying this two-disc set.
