Fast and Furious 5 has been confirmed according to reports on the internet today. There was plenty of speculation about the next chapter to the F&F franchise after the screening of last year’s F&F 4 struck box office gold for NBC Universal but now Vin Diesel himself has confirmed the fifth and apparently the sixth installment to the movie series.
Vin Diesel made the announcement on his Facebook page that writer Chris Morgan has handed him scripts for a fifth and sixth movie in the series but there has been no official word from the studio, until now. Besides Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and director Justin Lin will also return for what’s now known simply as Fast Five.
The official announcement made no suggestions of a sixth installment, but if Vin is to be believed, they might be filming episode five and six back-to-back with a staggered release schedule that could take the F&F franchise to its ten-year anniversary in 2011.
