After finally bringing back the original cast, the Fast & Furious franchise is doing very well. Expect the same guys in the next one coming our way. Universal is revving up Fast & Furious 7 . The former street racers have taken their heists around the world while staying a step ahead of the law. James Wan takes over as director with another script by Chris Morgan.

Statham will play Ian Shaw, who wants revenge on Dominic Torreto and his crew after they took down his bother, Owen Shaw.
3. Hannibal the Conqueror
Starring: Possibly Vin Diesel
Release Date: Unknown
Director: Unknown
Diesel to possibly star in the Hannibal Trilogy
Vin posted this note regarding his possible role in this trilogy:
“When a dream is born in your childhood,” Diesel writes, “When you spend a decade daring to pursue it… The day, a head of a studio says… ‘I want to make all three films of your Hannibal trilogy!’ Haha… It takes a minute to sink in… Shhhhh… it’s still sinking in.”
It’s difficult not to get excited about this! Hannibal will be a period trilogy about Hannibal the Conqueror. We find it dubious that a studio is willing to commit to all three films with Diesel at the helm.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly he had the following to say:
Are you referring to the Hannibal the Conqueror project?
That’s the hardest one. I was just looking at a script, 10 years old, by David Franzoni, that was my first Hannibaldraft. To think that 10 years later, we’re still marching towards the Alps is surreal. Now, after Universal’s seen me produce this Fast trilogy, they are much more cautious about letting [the Hannibal] trilogy go to another studio. Now they feel like: “This is the trilogy guy, this is the guy who thinks in trilogies, he can do that.” There is another studio that’s saying they want to do all three films, do the trilogy.
It sounds like a pretty large-scale undertaking:
You just keep building. I’ve had Frank Miller in storyboard meetings, where he couldn’t resist taking a pen and drawing out panels for Hannibal. I’ve had Tarantino in my house acting out scenes he’d love to see in the movie. Acting them out! Probably the last great director meeting I had was with Tony Scott. He [told me that] Denzel Washington’s always wanted him to do Hannibal. And he said: “But after looking at the story, after talking to you, we should get Denzel to play your father, Hamilcar Barca.” And that came from Tony Scott, who was just the nicest and most terrific man, one of the nicest directors I’ve ever met in my life.
When your dream’s about to come true, when you’re about to get that shot, it’s like: “Holy s—! Is this really gonna happen? Am I sure I’m ready to immortalize or to channel this spirit that’s been dormant for 2,000 years, and never represented right?”
Time to start practicing riding war elephants!
I started practicing riding African elephants 10 years ago.
