Tabloid pictures as proof, with lots of pics of Vin Diesel eating a banana.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-7176371/Vin-Diesel-scoffs-banana-joins-star-Michelle-Rodriguez-film-scenes-Fast-Furious-9.html

Good news: Black car in evidence.
Bad news: Small child in evidence, so #9 may feature as much Baby Fever as #8 did.

No other info available, but I know fans and haters will have lots of fun with this thread. :D

Quote:
The actresses will be joining Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, and John Cena.




At this rate, FF 27 will have a cast of 1000, all trying to get more than 10 seconds of screen time.

No news, but I had a thought (yes, it did hurt).

What episode number will we be on when they finally decide to find out who is in Letty's grave? If there hadn't been somebody's burned remains in her car in #4, they wouldn't have had a funeral. They would have been searching the hospitals.

So:

#4 Letty dies, gets buried, gets avenged.
#6 Letty isn't dead but has amnesia; everyone is so busy being glad she's alive that they don't think of her grave.
#7 Letty gets her memory back at the very end, says she "remembers everything."
#8 No mention of who is in her grave. Does she remember and just shrug it off? Then they get busy chasing babies and submarines, and she submissively accepts her new stepmomhood.

This is what happens when you keep retconning things, I guess.

It just leads to big tunnel to a reprogramming center where Han is finishing up his new evil persona by the true big bad who's been pulling all the strings since the beginning, Toretto's long lost foster brother who got him into stealing VCRs in the first place.

Obviously, the flashback in 6 that shows how Letty "survived" is bullshit- she's actually a clone, which explains the memory problems.

It seems really out of character for the Rock to just leave a paycheck on the table because Vin Diesel threw a tantrum but I guess he's not hurting for work otherwise.

Also I read that article about how the Rock, Diesel, Statham, etc all have contractual stipulations that they win a certain number of fights but the crazy part to me is that all these dudes are in their 50s. I just forgot that they've all been around since the 90's.

No stars in evidence, just a stunt driver, but you get to see some bikes/cars with cameras on them, which is neat. They overheated an expensive car, but fixed it. In front of Buckingham Palace. Does that mean QE2 is a FF fan? She is a mechanic, after all.

At the end, they note that the stuntman injured in July, Joe Watts, is out of the induced coma and moved out of Intensive Care.

It looks like the stuntman has mocap markers on his face. I guess they'll be doing some closeups and overlaying Diesel's face onto his.

I’d heard Johnson and Statham contractually can’t get beat up too bad/emasculated in a fight scene, which is still hilarious, but I’m curious to see the source.

There were a lot of stories about it during the Hobbs and Shaw PR campaign.

F9 looks....interesting. The faceoff between Cena and Dom in the trailer looked like Cena was trying not to laugh. Also apparently everyone is super human now? I appreciate them finally bringing Lucas Black back into the fold, as well as everyone's favorite.

I'll probably see it.
