Fast Five has been generating huge box office numbers, but ... Oscar buzz?
As of Tuesday, the movie had already earned $140 million in ticket sales in North America and almost $200 million overseas. For the fifth film in a franchise, that's pretty impressive. A sixth movie is now in the works thanks to the fifth's success.
But franchise star Vin Diesel seems to think Fast Five has even more potential ... Academy Award potential. The actor told the Los Angeles Times that the films are successful because they reach middle America, but that they're much more than just middle-of-the-road movies.
"I wouldn't be surprised if there is some Oscar talk around this ... sooner or later, people are gonna say, 'Wait a minute, just because they are for the working class doesn't mean they're not great.'"
What do you think -- does Fast Five deserve an Oscar?
Paul Walker is definitely our favorite part of the Fast and The Furious franchise, but in the latest trailer for Fast Five, looks like there's a variety of hotties, and fast cars, to drool over.
The fifth installment stars Vin Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. For the guys, the gorgeous Jordana Brewster sizzles in the non-stop action flick.
Fast Five doesn't hit theaters until April 29, but after catching a glimpse of the sexy cast, our motors are in high gear for more!
Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez (but where's Paul Walker? ugh!) attended a photo call in Madrid for the latest installment of their action franchise Fast & Furious and, even though we kinda love the trailer, haven't we seen enough of these movies?
