Getting High...And Fast

Film producer Neal Moritz talked to Collider about the new Highlander movie and Fast Five and 6-the latest The Fast and the Furious sequels.

On Highlander: “I wouldn’t necessarily call it…I guess it would be closer to a reboot than anything else but there’s a great history of Highlander that we’re staying with and it’s an origin story.”

On Fast:

Moritz said that they would be shot closely together – but not back to back – and that the films would literally run into each other....story wise that is...

The plot?

“They’re on the run and then something happens and they have to…and there’s going to be a lot of people from the previous Fast & Furious in the movie.We’re talking…we’re trying to finalize the script right now but the goal is to bring touchstone characters from each of the movies back"

Tell me it's not going to ride the insane 3-D wave...

“Fast and Furious will be a very hard movie to shoot in 3-D because of the way we do the car stuff and because the movie has such quick cuts. So we have had many discussions about it. I don’t think we’ll actually shoot in 3-D but there’s a good chance the movie will be in 3-D.”

Ughaloo!

Moritz confirmed that Justin Lin would helm 5, but despite that he might not direct Fast Six...

Meanwhile his produced xXx: The Return of Xander Cage the third film in the spy action franchise has shifted studios from Sony to Paramount Pictures says Deadline New York.
