Louis Leterrier to replace Justin Lin as director for Fast X #IndiaNEWS #Cinema
Los Angeles, May 3 | Filmmaker Louis Leterrier, who is known for his work in films such as The Incredible Hulk and the first two Transporter film is set to take over the directors chair on Fast X from Justin Lin.
According to Variety, the decision comes less than a week after Lins surprise departure from the helm of the 10th installment in the main Fast and Furious movie franchise.
Leterrier is Universal pictures first choice, and schedules are still being hammered out.
He comes to the franchise with a wide array of experience in the action realm. He expanded his directing career in 2005 with two modestly budgeted action showcases for Jet Li (Unleashed) and Jason Statham (Transporter 2), and he transitioned into studio tentpoles with 2008s The Incredible Hulk, 2010s Clash of the Titans and 2013s Now You See Me.
The French filmmaker turned to television with two hit Netflix series: 2019s The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and 2021s Lupin.
Even in Lins absence, cameras have still been rolling: With stars like Vin Diesel, Charlize Theron and newcomer Jason Momoa already on set, Universal paused production on the main unit while the second unit continued filming in the UK.
Dan Mazeau wrote the screenplay with Lin. Producers include Diesel, Neal Moritz, Lin, Jeff Kirschenbaum and Samantha Vincent.
Then theres the wrinkle that Fast X was originally envisioned as the first of a two-part conclusion to the Fast Furious saga.
Filmmakers behind the final chapter have contemplated splitting the feature into two parts, a source close to the shoot said, though the production schedule at present would only accommodate the first film in a potential final pair.
