Q&A: Tyrese Gibson on 'Fast Five' and Fast Cars
Getty Images
Tyrese Gibson is a formidable triple threat. The 32-year-old actor-rapper-author worked as a model and MTV VJ before he started putting out albums in 1998; from there he transitioned easily into films, where his chiseled features carved up the scenery in movies like "2 Fast 2 Furious," "Four Brothers," "Flight of the Phoenix," "Waist Deep," "Annapolis" and, more recently, "Death Race" and "Legion." He also starred in all three "Transformers" movies as USAF Sgt. Robert Epps.
Gibson returned as Roman Pearce for this year's "Fast Five," the hit fourth sequel to "The Fast and the Furious" that arrives on DVD and Blu-ray October 4. We got the fast-moving multi-hyphenate to take five and give us the 411 on his return to the franchise, what he speeds around in off-screen, and what he can tell us about his new book and first album since 2006.

Vin Diesel Goes from Mere Man to 'The Machine'

He may have already voiced the titular character in the classic animated flick "The Iron Giant," but with his next movie, Vin Diesel is out to prove he can be a lot more robotic than you think he can.
Diesel has signed on to produce and star in "The Machine," an action comedy in which the "Fast Five" star will play “a human-like machine created in secrecy by the Pentagon as the world's first true ultimate weapon," according to Hollywood Reporter. Basically, the funny version of "Terminator," or better yet, "Solo."
The script was written by Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant, the duo behind "Night at the Museum," the Diesel vehicle "The Pacifier," and their own show, "Reno 911." In the script, the bald killer robot is decommissioned and 20 years go by before he's finally resuscitated by a kid with (obviously) terrible luck. The reactivation sends the government after the robot and his new human pal, and it's up to Vin to protect the family. Get More »

For Your Consideration: 'Fast Five' for Best Picture Oscar?
Universal
Perhaps it’s the effect of the carbon monoxide from exhaust fumes, but actor Vin Diesel thinks the fifth entry from the über-successful "Fast & Furious" franchise might just be Oscar bait.
In a lengthy piece in the Los Angeles Times focusing mostly on the "Fast" films' appeal to blue collar fans, the bald-headed muscle man insists the actioner has a chance. Get More »

'Fast Six' Is Coming Together Speedily
Universal
"Fastest and Furioustest"? "Fast and Furious' Excellent Adventure"? "Live Fast Or Die Furious"? "F6ST"?
Sorry, we just can't help ourselves trying to come up with new iterations for the next, now-inevitable "Fast and the Furious" installment title.
"Furious Six," or whatever it will be called, is now a foregone conclusion thanks to America's insatiable appetite for burly dudes in tight t-shirts driving above the recommended speed limit. Get More »

Vin Diesel: Lord of Dance

Funny how fleeting one's coolness can be.
Vin Diesel is the current, undisputed personification of masculinity with his intimidating glares and carved marble physique. Yet long ago, in a decade now referred to as "the '80s," a young, lanky Diesel, er, Mark Sinclair Vincent, zippered up matching tracksuits with his crew, or "dance posse," coiffed his funky-fresh afro and boogied with beat-box abandon in a special breakdancing instructional video.
Lucky for us, this video has finally been unearthed -- possibly from the innards of a 1985 time capsule -- and displayed for all to study on Moviefone (via 5Min). Get More »

The Cars From 'Cars' Vs. Cars From 'The Fast and the Furious'
Pixar / Universal
This summer, two of the most hard driving, piston-pounding movies of all time are taking another lap on the big screen with "Fast Five" (4/29) and "Cars 2" (6/24). Previous installments of both these franchises drove audiences to explosive levels of testosterone-injected excitement and mayhem!
You might say "Cars" put the car in cartoon while "The Fast and the Furious" pumped Vin Diesel into...well, there's no obvious automobile wordplay for his name...
We're pitting the supercharged vehicles of these two films head-to-head for the definitive showdown. Get More »

A Girl's Guide to the 'Fast and Furious' Series
Universal
Ask a woman what she thinks of this hyper-macho series of movies and you might elicit yawns and eye rolls.
Yes, this testosterone fare is not much more than a gaggle of high-octane pissing matches and, indeed, there are fast chicks and faster cars but, ultimately, "The Fast and the Furious" series is all about bromance. These men jump into fistfights more passionately than any of their PG-13 love scenes (with women).
And for every hundred scantily clad, hoochie extras leaning on racecars, there are -- on average -- two strong female characters per film. Love 'em or hate 'em, there wouldn't be five, going on six, of these movies if they weren't cinematic rollercoaster rides. And what girl doesn't enjoy an adrenaline ride once in a while? Get More »
