So, are they even going to bother addressing the insane cliffhanger ending from the last one?

Man, I can still hear the groans from the packed IMAX theater when they pulled that BS with Fast X.

The third spiderverse movie is going to have that same problem, if it even comes out.

 

[Stitch]

Holy shit, really?

Yeah

 

[RCX]

Yeah

That was certainly "something"

 

[Denton]

Fast movies are hilarious. They are consciously over the top self-aware dumb, but at the same time self-serious and all about "da family".
I like them tbh. So dumb it's fun. Hopefully Walker will be deepfaked well. It sucks that he died. Running Scared was fucking fantastic.

Full CGI can work in small doses, but trying to carry entire scenes, or worse, whole movies, with it usually falls apart

They already did it with full scenes in the 6th(?) movie.

Yeah, that's a good point, they've pulled it off before. I just think its really hard to keep it looking good consistently over longer stretches

Its just one of those things where even small inconsistencies can pull you out of the moment. Im all for CGI when it blends well, but when it takes center stage too long, it starts to feel a bit artificial. Hopefully they pull this off!

But I'm excited to see them sticking to street races

If they use his brother as a basis and then blend CG and the very latest and best AI image generation they'll probably get a much better result. Seen multiple examples where even rudimentary deepfake models were an improvement on uncanny CGI characters.

With something like this -- if they insist on doing it -- I'd be a lot more concerned with whether the result is good and not some moral qualms about AI. I think AI can do a better job at this point.

 

[Unknown?]

Only ever watched the first fully. Saw clips of the 2nd. Completely lost me when they went away from street racing but I never cared for the series from the start because I hate riced out cars.

It also led to lots of ugly Civics and made Need For Speed go from being about cool cars to uglified economy cars.

 

[Pagusas]

wtf i thought it was all him 6 is the last one i saw

Crazy right? They did a tremendous job.

Thanks for sharing I loved it LOL

Brian end was perfect for Fast and Furious 7. I normally would be against his return but if this is really the last Fast and furious movie I can see the need for a conclusion of his story with the rest of the team. Hopefully they dont kill too many of them. Don't make a new one in at least a decade (maybe a spin off) and don't make him there for no good reason.

 

[thefool]

Somehow, Brian returned.

Vin Diesel getting fat. Still got biceps, but big beer belly. Gained a lot of weight, since his last movie a few years ago. lol

wrong it was 7 i have not seen 7

 

[DeafTourette]

I couldn't tell it wasn't Paul Walker. I thought it was just the ending when they were looking at each other in their cars .... But it was most of the movie and I had no idea

Desperation to hit 1B at the box office

awesome will they bring back Mussolini!?

 

[Connificent]

I want to know whats up with Riddick

 

[T8SC]

So, are they even going to bother addressing the insane cliffhanger ending from the last one?

 

[Ishma3L]

How are they going to afford all that CGI for Paul if they're busy digitally slimming down Vin?

 

[DKehoe]

 

[touchfuzzy]

Looks like Vin hitting the gym is gonna be a bigger concern with this one. With the ridiculous cliff hanger on the last one I had kinda thought they were making them back to back, sucks they aren't even filming yet now two years later. Between this and Spiderverse I hope movies have learned not to do cliffhanger endings when your next movie doesn't even have a script.

 

[Represent.]

So, they are going to use AI for this aren't they?

Holy fuck its happening. RIP film industry.
