There were reports that "Fast and Furious 7" isn't the last movie of the film franchise. Despite the untimely death of Paul Walker, who stars as Brian O'Conner, the producers think that isn't a reason to end the popular movie series. Donna Langley of Universal Pictures revealed that there will be more movies lined up for the franchise.
She told The Hollywood Reporter, "We think there's at least three more. Paul is, and always will be, an integral part of the story. But there are many other great characters, and it's also an opportunity to introduce new characters."
Langley also said, "I think it's still a growing franchise. We'll see what happens with Furious 7, obviously, but our box office has grown over the past three or four films and internationally, in particular. So we think that there's more to mine there. But we're of course very mindful about fatigue."
Speaking of fatigue, it looks like one of the lead stars of "Fast and Furious 7" is experiencing that right now. During an interview with London Evening Standard, Michelle Rodriguez, who stars as Letty Ortiz, hinted that she may retire from acting.
The 36-year old actress said, "This year has been too much and I need some time out." She explained, "I've been working hard and now I want time off. That's what I do. Work hard, play hard. I don't think that's much to ask or want."
Michelle Rodriguez has had an emotional rollercoaster this year - having to deal with Paul Walker's death and her recent breakup with Cara Delevingne and Zac Efron. She definitely deserves the break that she has been longing for and I'm sure her fans would understand her.
When asked about her future projects, Rodriguez said: "I don't have anything in the pipeline at the moment. I'm free. I had so much heartbreak last year that I am taking a year off to do something different, like write."
She added, "I don't know what yet - maybe movie scripts or TV shows but something creative as that's my passion. I've wanted to do it for a while and now would be great." The actress remained positive and said, "Hopefully in a couple of years it will pay off and you'll see my work on the big screen or the TV. That would be f***ing awesome man. How cool would it be? Hopefully I will see the results and my career will progress in a different way."
How do you feel about the "Fast and Furious 7" star bidding farewell to acting?
