“He will say anything”: Fast X Director Just Debunked Vin Diesel’s Bold-Faced ‘Fast 11’ Lie


It seems that Fast & Furious star Vin Diesel lied to fans to get out of an interview after confirming that there will be a trilogy happening after Fast X. He previously revealed that there could be two more Fast movies coming up in the future.
While this sounds like an exaggeration on Diesel’s part, the news created a lot of buzz on social media. For a short while, it was believed that Fast X would be the beginning of a final saga, which co-star Michelle Rodriguez also seemed to confirm in the same interview.

Director Louis Letterier Clarified Vin Diesel’s Fast X Trilogy StatementAttending the Rome red carpet for Fast X last May, Vin Diesel told Fandango some exciting details about the future of the long-enduring action franchise:
“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 and when they saw part one, they said, ‘Could we make Fast X the finale, a trilogy?’”

Co-star Michelle Rodriguez supplemented Diesel’s statement with a short yet promising revelation: “It’s three acts in any story.” Director Louis Letterier, who is currently helming Fast 11, seemingly debunked the actor’s claim in an interview with GamesRadar:
“The one thing about Vin is like when he’s on a press line, he will say anything to get out of that press line. And I’m kind of like him and go, ‘Yeah, sure, we will go to the moon in the next one. Bye.’ And then you [the press] never forget!”

Letterier noted that Fast 11 is certainly coming, but they have to take every project day by day. Working in the movie industry entails a lot of patience, and one film gets done through daily progress. The filmmaker added:
“Obviously the next one is coming, and then yeah, one movie at a time. I think the one thing that Hollywood keeps reminding us is that it’s one step at a time, put one foot forward at a time. Let’s count our blessings. We’re very lucky this movie was well-received and well-loved, people went to see it in a movie theater, and now they’re going to see it at home. It’s one at a time.”

The 50-year-old French director and producer admitted that they are still trying to figure out how to tell the conclusion to the epic action saga in the best possible way, hinting that two movies may actually not be enough to fully flesh out the narrative they wanted to tell:
“Maybe what he was saying is that there’s 25 years of filmmaking and storytelling, three acts, two hours, and two movies, between the last one and this one, might not be enough to tell the story that is needed, and that’s what we’re figuring out these days.”
While Letterier did not confirm Diesel’s shocking revelation about the franchise, he also did not entirely disregard the possibility of it happening in the future. Fans will still have to wait a bit longer for an official announcement.
Louis Letterier On Working With Vin Diesel In Fast X
Louis Letterier only joined the franchise during the filming for Fast X after original director Justin Lin abandoned the project, but he and Diesel immediately grew close and developed a strong partnership. In the same interview, he shared what it is like working with the Guardians of the Galaxy actor:
“It’s much more than just a fantastic actor doing a fantastic job, coming on set, being active, and embodying this character. He really carries this $7 billion franchise on his already massive shoulders. Every actor that comes on board is in awe of his professionalism and his generosity, like he’ll come on set the days he’s not shooting, just to make sure that everybody’s happy.”
Vin Diesel is very hands-on when it comes down to the nitty-gritty of the creative production, and together with Letterier, the entire team will surely deliver an eye-popping finale in true Fast & Furious fashion.
Fast 11, also known as Fast X Part 2, is slated for an April 2025 release. Fast X is available to purchase via Prime Video, iTunes, and Vudu.

‘I am officially off the market’: When Margot Robbie revealed she made the ‘conscious’ decision of not dating actors


Margot Robbie revealed her decision to not date actors because of the media scrutiny that came with a public relationship of two high-profile actors
Back in 2015, A-lister Margot Robbie made a declaration that she would not be dating any actors. The actress may have alluded to her fiance Tom Ackerley, who she married the following year in 2016. In an exclusive interview with Marie Claire, she revealed that being in a relationship as an actor herself came with its own set of challenges. She believed that dating someone who was popular would add on to the media scrutiny.

Margot Robbie opened up on why she made a conscious decision to not date actorsTalking to Marie Claire, she claimed, “I am officially off the market.” She then shared the reasoning behind her decision and added, “I made a conscious decision not to date actors.” She continued to explain, “But not because I hate actors. That’s a nasty generalization to make, and that’s not the case. People take such an interest in your love life when you have a profile, it puts a lot of stress on a relationship.”
The Barbie actress continued, “So two people with profiles, I figure it’s just double the amount of scrutiny, and I’d like to avoid that at all costs.” This came after reports of her locking lips with Tarzan co-star Alexander Skarsgard started making rounds. It was reported that she was caught kissing the actor during the Sundance Film Festival.

Margot Robbie revealed she opted for a minimal lifestyle even after becoming an actorIn the interview, Robbie also opened up about how she was adapting to fame. She shared, “I have a normal 24-year-old life. If I were a waitress, I’d probably have the exact same lifestyle. I’d go to the same clubs I go to already, live in the same house with the same housemates, hang out with the same people.”
However, Margot Robbie tied the knot with Tom Ackerley who is an English producer and actor. The duo met on the sets of 2013 movie Suite Francaise where Tom was working as an assistant director. Post marriage, both of them launched their production company LuckyChap Entertainment.

‘Rocky’ Was Quite Different In His Original Screenplay, Sylvester Stallone Claims


Sylvester Stallone took his friend’s advice on a rewrite of the original screenplay to Rocky. A few tweaks later, he was on his way to major success.
In the new Netflix documentary Sly, Stallone discussed how he initially conceived of the project, which had a much harder edge. In the early version, Rocky was depicted as a “thuggish” character, inspired by Martin Scorsese’s crime drama, Mean Streets.

But Stallone’s perspective changed when a friend read the script and thought the boxer was too cruel for audiences to actually care about him.
Stallone recalled her crying.

“She goes, ‘I hate Rocky. I hate him. He’s cruel. He hits people. He beats them up.’”
Stallone took it to heart, and asked what he could do to soften the character.

“I said, ‘what if you stop short of it?’ Like, maybe he almost did. He could have, that’s his job, but he doesn’t?’ ‘That’d be nice,’” he added. “I said, ‘What if he had a girlfriend or something?’ ‘Yeah, that’s nice.’ So I go back, start writing that: ‘Girlfriend. Nice.’”
$117 million in box office later, a franchise was born.

Stallone also revealed that actor Dolph Lundgren sent him to the hospital during one fight scene in Rocky IV.
“Dolph Lundgren… he pulverized me,” Stallone says in the documentary. “Later that night, my heart started to swell—which happens when the heart hits the chest—and then my blood pressure went up to 260, and they thought I was going to be talking to angels. Next thing I know, I’m in intensive care, where I’m surrounded by nuns, and I thought, ‘OK, that’s curtains.’”
Stallone was in the hospital for nine days following the incident, praying for “one more round.”
“For the first minute of the fight, it is going to be a free-for-all,” Stallone told Lundgren. The Swedish actor joked in a separate interview that all he did was “obey orders,” explaining, “[Stallone] was the boss. I did what he told me.”
Doctors allegedly told Stallone that he received a blow to the ribs that made his heart rattle around in his ribcage, a condition typically seen in head-on collisions. “I did hit a bus, of sorts,” Stallone joked.
