Fast and Furious Poster Online

By Rodney - December 22, 2008 - 18:21 America/Montreal

The New Fast and Furious chapter is soon upon us, and the new poster is out. I can’t get over the awesome that is this poster!

I liked the first movie, 2despised the 2second, and liked the third - Tokyo Drift - a little more than I would like to admit (mostly the eyecandy I have to say) but the cameo of Vin Diesel at the end was a perfect touch and sparked the idea of the follicular challenged Dungeons and Dragons player returning to the franchise.

MTVMoviesBlog gives the official description.

When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) reignites his feud with agent Brian O’Conner (Walker). But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmaneuver him. And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what’s possible behind the wheel.

Sounds like a decent enough storyline. And bringing back the original cast will give us the sequel we SHOULD have seen. Dropping the “The” from the title seems to be the only thing setting it apart from the other chapters which says to me that they only want it associated by the one that sounds closer to the new title.

The poster says so much. Bottom line is that the movie is about the cars. Front and center, CAR! Awesome shiny! Then the very subtle but no less present cast members in reflection. We don’t need dramatic floating heads thrusting out to remind us who is in this movie. Its the original cast. Right down to the hottest ugly girl I know, Michelle Rodriguez.

Even the subtitle rocks for me. New Model, Original Parts.

Damn that gives me chills.

This movie better rock to deserve a poster as well communicative and finely designed as this one.

    I can’t stand Paul Walker’s acting, he makes Keanu Reeves look like Daniel Day Lewis.

    Dennis

    also liked the 1st & 3rd ones, with the 2nd being not so good…

    i hope its not, but unfortunately, the premise of this sounds
    a lot like the 2nd one…
    brian has to play cop again to stop a big bad guy, but must recruit one of his tough guy friends & because the title says fast & furious there has to be some cars going fast thrown in…

    I can honestly say this is the best one of the series. I’ve read the shooting script and I was surprised with just how much it focused on the characters. Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of car action, but I’d say this is the most character-driven one of all of them, and for the better.

    And he’s a cop again because it takes place between the first and second movie, so he never lost his job yet. Turns out he losses his job over the events in THIS movie, not the events from the first. Then after this movie is when 2 Fast 2 Furious and Tokyo Drift take place.

    Vin Diesel is a loser.

  7. Matt says:

    i love that car int the poster, but the first was just a ripoff of POINT BREAK and the two sequels were just shit so why are they making another shitty sequel to the series

  8. Rodney says:

    @Matt, because they are going back to the original cast. If they did that for the sequel, maybe it wouldn’t have sucked so much?

    Just sayin.

  9. David Lopan says:

    I didn’t like any of these movies and chances are, won’t like this either.

  10. Dave Stopher says:

    The poster looks mint hope the movie is tho

  11. vargas says:

    I enjoyed the first one and hated the others. The second was crap and I didn’t even bother with the third.

    I might check this out since the original cast members are back and with ah classic car.
