"Fast X" will bring the Toretto gang back together for yet another wild ride: Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson and Nathalie Emmanuel will reunite with Vin Diesel as their respective characters. Brie Larson, Daniela Melchior and Alan Ritchson are also tapping in as new additions. But there are quite a few returning players involved in the production as well, faces that "Fast" fans will likely recognize.
We've already learned that the film's Big Bad, Dante (Jason Momoa) is actually the son of "Fast Five" villain Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida), and it seems that events and characters from other "Fast" films are fair game as well. According to director Louis Leterrier, "Fast X" represents a culmination of the saga. Everything from every "Fast" movie is pretty much on the table, so let's break down all the threads that will continue in the upcoming film.

“Fast X” will return from space under director Louis Leterrier, who has taken the reins from Justin Lin after Lin departed the project, citing creative differences.
“There’s war brewing,” Leterrier told Empire for a first look at the final installment in the franchise. “It’s coming to an end, and it is a race to the finish. There will be some tremendous casualties.”
Diesel’s character Dom Toretto returns behind the wheel of his Dodge Charger, and Charlize Theron’s villain Cypher still presents a threat. Jason Mamoa will bring a new villain Dante to the screen. “Fast X” will race into theaters later this year following the 2021 release of “F9: The Fast Saga.”

The director also hinted that the final film will be divisive in the fandom. Side-switching is not new to the franchise.

We talk a lot about history-making Emmy nominations and wins, and it’s always fun to talk about “firsts” — such as “Squid Game” becoming the first non-English-language show to land a series nomination. But one breakthrough that struck me was BET’s significant showing via its streaming service, BET+.
That includes a nod in the directing for a comedy series category, for the freshman series “The Ms. Pat Show,” and choreography for scripted programming via the period drama “The Porter.” It’s the first time BET has received any major scripted series nominations; the company’s previous three nods were for music direction, actress in a short-form series and exceptional merit in nonfiction filmmaking. BET’s only Emmy to date came from the New York-based National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which honored it for the public service campaign “Rap-It-Up.”
In other words, it’s about time. Even though...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not yet watched “Could it be…Satan?”, the fourth episode of “American Horror Story: Apocalypse.”
“American Horror Story: Apocalypse” really kicked things into high gear last week with the arrival of the “Coven” witches and things did not slow down this week with “Could It Be… Satan?” with the return of another magical blast from the past in Gabourey Sidibe’s Queenie, as well as the introduction of a tribe of warlocks.
The episode started off with a couple big reveals about Michael Langdon (Cody Fern). First, as told through flashbacks, he wasn’t raised by his grandmother Constance Langdon (Jessica Lange), which was what long-time “American Horror Story” viewers assumed after seeing her with the younger version of him at the end of the first “Murder House” season. Instead, though, he was raised by the human version of Miriam Mead (Kathy Bates...

Frank von Zerneck and Robert M. Sertner have signed a two-year deal with Sony Pictures Television for the development and production of TV movies. The deal marks the first time that von Zerneck/Sertner Films -- which was formed in 1987 and has numerous TV movies and miniseries on broadcast and cable networks to its credit -- has joined forces with a studio. Von Zerneck said there were many appealing factors that led him and Sertner to sign with SPT, including the fact that they've known SPT executive vp movies and miniseries Helen Verno since working together on the 1987 miniseries Queenie when Verno was an executive at New World.
