Lin ready for Fast and the Furious 3
Universal Pictures has hired Justin Lin (Better Off Tomorrow) to direct The Fast and the Furious 3. Rather than have any members from the first two films reprise their roles, the third movie will instead feature an all-new young cast. Based on a screenplay by Chris Morgan, the movie will be set in Tokyo. When a U.S. citizen is bounced from America due to his (illegal) passion for street racing, he goes to Tokyo, where he discovers "draft racing". In this type of sport, the drivers accelerate to extremely high speeds before spinning out, leading to highly dangerous and competitive races all over the city. Naturally, our young hero will run afoul of the leader of the draft racing group.
