Regissören som gjorde den allra första Fast & Furious-filmen, Rob Cohen, spelade naturligtvis en mycket viktig del i begynnelsen av vad som idag är en av tidernas mest framgångsrika filmföljetonger och nu vill Robban återvända för att regissera den sista filmen i serien, Fast 10. På så sätt skulle Universal, Vin Diesel och Rob kunna knyta ihop säcken på ett ganska häftigt sätt. Det är i en nygjord intervju med Screencrush som Cohen säger såhär:
"I always wished Universal would come back to me to direct the last one."
Rob fortsätter sedan med att delge sina tankar om hur stor Fast-följetongen (som han alltså grundade) gått och blivit:
"The franchise went from a Los Angeles story built around a family of multicultural brothers and sisters to what I'll call "pure spectacle." The beauty is that the audience has ridden along with it for these 18 years. I'm very proud that the characters I created in 2001 are still in the lexicon. There's still a Dominic Toretto appearing every two years, or a Mia Toretto, or a Letty. It had to evolve, and it evolved in a way that was ultra-worldwide commercial. And the heartbeat of it is: We live in a world with no gravity, cars can do anything. They can burst out of the nose of airplanes. People can jump across freeways. They can take down helicopters. It's like, "Okay, anything for the spectacle." They spend $350 million on these movies, so they've got the money to pull this stuff off. And the audience is eating it up. The last one still did $1.25 billion. For my kids' college fund, I'm very happy that it's had this longevity. I started out to do a different thing, but the thing that I did implanted this world and these characters deeply in that audience. And they're still coming for a hit of it. And most of the time when you go on the internet and [read] "Which was the best Fast & Furious?" It's almost always mine." Länk
