there is one name that's synonymous with
The Fast and the Furious franchise and
it is Vin Diesel his character Dom has
always stressed family over everything
else but things do take a turn in the
fate of the furious when Dom betrays his
team and joins up with Charlize Theron's
'he's villainous character back there
was that for her for me or you it was it
even necessary necessary nothing is
necessary everything is a choice and I
simply made one but so did you you could
have stopped me but you chose not to
wonder what Letty thought about that the
problem putting your foot on the targets
neck is you could never let it up I
think I need to remind you why you chose
to be here Oh dr. Don Vin Diesel good
morning good morning Don goes rogue
Dom's our good guy what happened here
yeah it's it's a good question it's um
it kind of forces you to have to go see
what happens in the movie yeah it's at
the heart of all the action and Charlize
Theron the first female villain for this
series the first must have been fun
ah so fun um well I remember a just Gary
grade talking about it on premiere night
the chemistry between our characters is
so powerful you really feel that that
Dom is in this conflicted place and it
makes for a very interesting story yeah
I really there's a lot of play that goes
back and forth between you and I might
add some lip lock at some point and
there was a smooch
I think easing away anything I love it
you give it I hope there wasn't smoke to
it and when you think about it we did
the premiere of the we launched the
trailer at Times Square and it was like
Dick Clark's New Year's rockin ha and
all the screens played the trailer at
the same time it became the biggest
trailer in history and the biggest
moment the most impactful moment was
that kiss but that kiss was so impactful
because of the
decades of Dom Letty's storytelling
people are so invested in characters in
this case yeah that's what makes a
difference that's why little kids could
be so powerful this is the first in the
final trilogy right first in the final
trouble you know there's gonna be 10
films total you know there's gonna be 10
total you're a huge part of this
franchise shoot your hearts in it you
know how it ends I do you have it in
your mind already yes
are there any shockers I mean I mean and
how much pressure is there because
there's tons you'll have everybody know
it's time with no pressure
um yeah III what when I came on as a
producer I started producing his films
as trilogies so every film spoke to the
next one and what we've seen is when
people leave the theater for every film
they always say what's going to happen
next and that proves that they're
invested in the characters and they've
adopted this franchise in this episodic
style of storytelling and now you've got
total a listers saying can I be in it to
turn including Helen Mirren Helen Mirren
what's it called me up I think she was
on a show maybe it was a show I don't
know what show was but she said I love
Indies I want to be in Fast and Furious
um somewhere please make it happen and I
don't think anyone really took it that
serious and then I was at a Oscar party
and she comes up to me and she said I've
been talking about you for so long
get your act together I want to be in
your movie and so I took the writer and
we were already in production or
pre-production so I took the writer and
the director with me to the Dominican
Republic for a week and we wrote her
into the movie and she actually her role
not only is brilliant but it it filled
the holes that were in the plot so she
was actually assisting them meant to be
I hope you come back because then you're
gonna be in guardians of galaxy I am
going and we love Groot we do a group at
night you know you don't have to spend a
lot of time memorizing the line as it
jives don't have to I am glad you
believe it I don't have to
it is the easiest character on some
levels and then on other levels how do
you make I am Groot sound different each
time you say it or mean something
different each time I heard you did it
