FastX director Louis Leterrier, who replaced Justin Lin, prioritized practical effects and real stunts when making the franchise's penultimate film: 'You will see: as long as Dom Toretto is behind the wheel of a car, there’s nothing he cannot do.'
Fast X director Louis Leterrier prioritized practical effects and real stunts when making the film. Beginning in 2001, the long-running Fast & Furious franchise is set to receive an anticipated two-part finale starting with Fast X this spring.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a recent Empire piece revealing a new look at Fast X, Leterrier revealed some insight into how he tackled the franchise's tenth installment, including prioritizing practical effects and real stunts. After F9 famously took the franchise to space in a rocket-powered car, the Fast X director had a desire to bring the franchise back down to Earth.
I’m more practical than other directors, and I brought it back to earth. We went for real stunts, which we’re enhancing with visual effects. We shot in LA, London, Rio, Portugal. We blew up Hummers flying around Rome. There’ll be some iconic imagery in this one. You will see: as long as Dom Toretto is behind the wheel of a car, there’s nothing he cannot do.
Lin, who directed five films in the Fast & Furious franchise, was also a strong advocate for practical stunts over CGI cars. It's unclear what the specific creative differences were that caused Lin to exit Fast X, though it's reassuring to hear Leterrier maintaining a commitment to what makes the franchise great, even though practical effects are often complex logistically and expensive .
Leterrier's own vision and aesthetic can be seen in the first Fast X trailer and showcased during Super Bowl LVII. Plenty of exciting action sequences, as well as the franchise's new characters, will be on full display to build hype for the upcoming penultimate installment. If Leterrier's Fast X, which races into theaters on May 19, is a success, he could be asked back to direct the franchise's final film.
