Spurred on by the success of Fast Five, Universal have decided to not only continue the Fast & Furious franchise, but take it in a whole new direction (moving away from films simply about cars, and into heist movies), and have just announced the release date of the next installment in the franchise; Fast & Furious Six.
Set to reunite a number of returning cast members (which will likely include Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, and Dwayne Johnson, among others) with director Justin Lin; for what the studio describe as the crew’s “most dangerous adventure yet”; Fast Six is now scheduled to be released on May 24th 2013 (also known as Memorial Day in the US).
