Justin Lin Reportedly Quit “Fast X” After A “Major Disagreement” With Vin Diesel
The tenth Fast and Furious movie, Fast X, is being split into two movies–but they may wanna rethink that plan because pulling the first film off seems to be a bit of a struggle, so I can’t imagine doing this twice. The Hollywood Reporter says that director, Justin Lin, announced on social media that he made the “difficult decision” to leave the movie–but it seems the true tea is that it wasn’t that difficult. It seems that after a huge blowout over script changes, Justin quit that bitch, storming out and slamming the door. I’m sure that it wasn’t ten minutes before Vin Diesel was texting him pictures of the dearly departed Paul Walker to guilt him back in.
Zachary Quinto And Simon Pegg Vs. George Takei
The upcoming Star Trek Beyond already has some strikes against it. The most tragic one was when Anton Yelchin, who played Chekov, was killed in a freak accident last month. Other minor snags included the first trailer looking like shit, and Sia not exactly switching it up for Rihanna. And now “America’s Most Beloved Homosexual” (Richard Simmons has never officially come out) George Takei is shitting on the producers’ decision to make his old character Sulu gay in the updated franchise. Well, fellow Star Trek gay Zachary Quinto and actor/screenwriter Simon Pegg would beg to differ.
George was quoted as saying that the decision to make Hikaru Sulu (played by John Cho in the new version) gay went against Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry’s original vision and was “really unfortunate” Spock and Scotty would like a word, George.
