Morgan snapped up to write “Furious” sequel number three
Chris Morgan has been to write the fourth instalment of “The Fast and the Furious” franchise.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Morgan did such a knock-up job on last summer’s “Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” that Universal asked him back to pen sequel number three.
Recent rumours suggested that “The Fast and the Furious 4” might be headed direct-to-DVD, but this new substantiation – specifically the bit in the item that states that “Tokyo Drift” made a pleasing $158 million worldwide – would suggest otherwise. Don’t be surprised if they try and get Vin Diesel back – something they’ve discussed quite a few times – and make it a big monster tent pole teste-tickler.
Morgan has also sold an untitled adventure pitch to the studio – for $70 grand against a mill – which Stuber/Parent Productions are captaining.
