Getting Low-Jacked

The Fast and the Furious film series franchise is about to get a rival flick from the same studio--Universal Pictures.

Cheo Hodari Coker wrote the urban action drama called "Lowrider" according to The Hollywood Reporter.



Producer Brian Grazer came up with the idea of doing a film exploring the low-riding car culture - cars from the 50's & 60's with height-adjustable suspension that 'hugs' the road - which has set up home in California amongst primarily Latino and black teenagers.

Los Angeles-based tattoo and graffiti artist Mark Machado aka Mister Cartoon will serve as an executive producer.

With Fast & Furious due this year--and Lowriders a while off I doubt anyone will care about any similarities--it's (mostly) all about the cars anyway
