Justin Lin Will Direct "The Fast and the Furious 3"
from Universal Studios

The Third "Fast and the Furious" Film Will Be Set in Japan
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., June 8, 2005 - Acclaimed young filmmaker Justin Lin - who made a splash with the 2002 independent feature and Sundance hit "Better Luck Tomorrow" - has been signed to direct the latest installment in the motion picture series built on speed: "The Fast and the Furious 3" (tentative title).
The Universal Pictures release will be produced by Neal H. Moritz, who served in the same capacity on both global blockbuster hits "The Fast and the Furious" and "2 Fast 2 Furious." "The Fast and the Furious 3" is written by Chris Morgan ("Cellular"), who places the third entry in Tokyo: set in the sexy, underground world of Japanese drift racing, the newest and fastest customized rides go head-to-head on some of the most perilous courses ever seen. Plans call for the film to begin production in the Fall of 2005.

The original film and its follow-up reached box office heights in theaters around the globe, with "The Fast and the Furious" earning $207,409,603 in cumulative worldwide box office and "2 Fast 2 Furious" outscoring the original, taking in $236,222,077 worldwide. Together, both DVD titles have sold more than 20 million units.

"The Fast and the Furious 3" follows the story of Shaun Boswell, who has always been an outsider. A loner at school, his only connection to the indifferent world around him is through illegal street racing -- which has made him particularly unpopular with the local authorities. To avoid jail time, Shaun is sent out of the country to live with his uncle in the military, in a cramped apartment in a low-rent section of Tokyo.

In the land that gave birth to the majority of modified racers on the road, the simple street race has been replaced by the ultimate pedal-to-the-metal, gravity-defying automotive challenge ... drift racing, a deadly combination of brutal speed on heart stopping courses of hairpin turns and switchbacks.

For his first unsuccessful foray in drift racing, Shaun unknowingly takes on D.K., the "Drift King," with ties to the Yakuza, the Japanese crime machine. The only way he can pay off the debt of his loss is to venture into the deadly realm of the Tokyo underworld, where the stakes are life and death.

Born in Taipei, Taiwan, Justin Lin grew up in Orange County, California, and graduated with a degree in film from UCLA. His distinctive viewpoint gives voice to the Asian-American experience, and his versatility as a film craftsman has allowed him to serve in numerous capacities simultaneously on his films.

Lin's reputation as an up-and-coming filmmaker of note was cemented with the 2002 feature "Better Luck Tomorrow," which he directed, co-wrote, produced (along with Julie Asato and Ernesto Foronda) and edited; the film, about a group of over-achieving Asian-American high school seniors who venture into crime, received a Grand Jury Prize nomination at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival and he (along with co-writer/producer Ernesto Foronda, co-writer Fabian Marquez and producer Julie Asato) was nominated for a John Cassavetes Award at the 2004 Independent Spirit Awards.

Lin is also attached to direct "Strangers," which Vertigo Entertainment is producing at Focus, as well as the Vertigo Entertainment/Universal Pictures' film "Old Boy," a remake of a Korean-language action/thriller. He is currently in post-production on the Touchstone feature "Annapolis," starring James Franco, Tyrese Gibson and Jordana Brewster, which is scheduled for a fall release.

[orvillescelica]

what! no Vin Disel?? No Paul Walker? How are the floor boards going to fall off without them??

It does sound like Inital D. I bet he drives an 86 too...

But it doesnt matter, when it comes out im going to see it. As crappy as the movies were, they at least entertained me better than most movies ive seen lately. Ill take Brian O'Conner over Herbie any day.

[saleeka]

I concur... who goes to see a movie to be educated anyway? At least i'll see some pretty cars and since when was the original FATF quality anyway- its not like the bar has ever been that high...

Better luck tommorow was an awesome film. One of my favorites, completely original and very dead on in terms of societal ills. I really like this director, and given the premise I think he can pull something good out of this. I will see it for sure

Come on, with the corporate sponsorships they'll be using in this series, they won't be driving old cars. It'll all be stuff you can go buy at the local dealerships.

Ah Nice, I will download it as soon as a Rip is on the internet

lmao kadett.. so true haha

[creis]

what, its not 3 fast 3 furious? this movie is prabibly gana suck, but yeah I'll end up seeing it anyway, and yes it will have cars with big clear emblems and other logos. I hope they dont go hollywood with it, and maybe try to make a good movie.

I dont know who directed the others and what not but if its a independent filmer It might mean that they want something diff from the other movies (witch does not exsplain the title)

the simple street race has been replaced by the ultimate pedal-to-the-metal, gravity-defying automotive challenge ... drift racing, a deadly combination of brutal speed on heart stopping courses of hairpin turns and switchbacks.

I guess they dont know what drifting is yet.

word.

[Rjb23]

I thought it was called "way to fast way to furious" and isn't paul walker supposed to confess that he is gay, and secretly in love with vin diesel in this one?

[ToYCeLi8]

It seems like the rumors are true. Oh well, sounds like something to do on a weekend night. I wounder what cars will be the highlight? 350Z, RX8, RX7, Supra, S2K, ALL SILVIA's, if this new 06 Eclipse is rwd maybe. Then some AWD cars, STi, and EVO? R34?

K, time to check out titles:

Fast and the Furious 3

3 Times Faster, 3 Times the Fury

Fast and the Furious STAGE 3

Fast and the Furious, Initial D3?

Or any other Initial D knock off. :-)
