As those of you who have read me in these parts for a long time now will know, I am a faithful devotee of the ‘Fast & Furious’ saga (started in 2001). The progression it has undergone since its inception, drifting from earthly action to the most deranged and self-conscious absurdity from the fifth installment, makes it one of the best franchised entertainment to put in our mouths; But everything has a limit.

With the premiere of the long-awaited ‘Fast X’ just around the corner, the film’s promotional campaign is already in full swing and we’ve already seen the trailer. This also implies not a few interviews that have already left us a Unexpected reflection by Vin Diesel.
The actor and producer, without expecting it, drew lines between the fast and furious with the work of JRR Tolkien after being asked by a Variety reporter about the problems of keeping a saga alive for so long.
“You know what’s harder? The off-screen work. Thinking about expanding… There’s a reason Tolkien stopped writing after a while. Because it’s so hard to continue mythologies. Nobody thinks about it. in that context, but it’s real. It’s not the easiest thing in the world.”

After Diesel’s words, the interviewer did not hesitate to utter an outburst that should illustrate the definition of the term in the dictionary: “It’s ‘Lord of the Rings’ from action movies”. Diesel does not hesitate to play along and declares: “Well said! It’s true! From your mouth to the ears of God! I should have stopped after ‘The Hobbit'”.
It is evident that we should not take the words of the person in charge of giving life to Dominic Toretto to heart. Of course, I am afraid of how those who tore their clothes and assured that Tolkien was turning in his grave after the premiere of ‘The Rings of Power’ might react. For our part, We will be able to check if any Nazgûl appears in ‘Fast & Furious 10’ on May 19.
