The final instalment of the highly successful Fast and Furious series confirms Louis Leterrier as the film’s director, according to an exclusive report from Variety.
This project will serve as a companion piece to Fast X which is the 10th part of the series starring Vin Diesel, set to come out on May 19th. Louis previously replaced the director of Fast X last May, with the major change taking place at breakneck speed.
Peter Cramer, the president of Universal Pictures commented on the change:
“Louis joined the ‘Fast & Furious’ team seamlessly, with an innate understanding of the franchise that is stronger than ever after two decades. Under his direction, ‘Fast X’ is a high-intensity thriller with all the spectacular action, emotion, and twists that the fans have come to expect – and then some. We are thrilled that he will continue to work his magic in the director’s chair.”
