Fast and Furious: Filmmaker Louis Leterrier is open to more `Fast and Furious` movies. The 49-year-old director is sitting at the helm for the next two films in the high-speed franchise, which were thought to be the final installments in the long-running series, but he has now echoed star Vin Diesel by suggesting that there could yet be more pictures, reports aceshowbiz.com.
"Let`s see what this one does. You know what`s beautiful about this franchise is that the audience gave love and then the franchise kept growing and delivered for the fans, but also surprised them. Don`t shove it down people`s throats, but give people what they love. So let`s see (what happens next)," Louis said to Entertainment Weekly.
Louis admitted that "it`s hard to give an answer" as to whether `Fast X Part 2` will bring the curtain down on the franchise and pointed out that the coronavirus pandemic highlighted the uncertainty in the film industry.
The French filmmaker said: "I mean, who knows? Two years ago we didn`t think that movies would ever exist anymore. Knock on wood, count my lucky stars that we`re making giant movies that are now being seen by millions of people around the globe. It`s amazing, and I`m so happy that we`re part of this summer where it feels like the excitement for movies is back."
Vin Diesel, who plays the role of Dominic Toretto in the series, divulged recently that `Fast X` will be the opening part of a concluding trilogy.
The 55-year-old actor said: "Without tipping the hat too much, I can say this, Going into making this movie, the studio had asked if this could be a two-parter. And after the studio saw this Part 1, they said, `Could you make Fast X, the finale, a trilogy?"
