The arrival of the latest film in the ongoing saga of The Fast and the Furious is only a little over two months away. That still seems a bit far, but if all of the trailers to date are anything to go on, The Fate of the Furious will be worth the wait. Check out the insanity glimpsed in the latest TV spot, which aired during the Super Bowl yesterday…
I absolutely love this franchise. Even the worst film of the bunch (2009’s Fast & Furious) has its merits and the series has been firing on cylinders since Fast Five. This outing looks to be upping not only the action ante, but also the ridiculous melodrama that pumps throughout the franchise. I wouldn’t have it any other way! This series was already crazy when it added Dwayne Johnson and managed to keep him around ever since. Now we have Jason Statham and Kurt Russell in the mix as well.
What more could an action fan ask for? What’s that? More badass females? You asked for it, you got it. This one tosses in Charlize Theron and Helen Mirren. I don’t know if we as a species deserve such treats, but here they are nonetheless. Is it April yet?
