A week ago Justin Lin declared that he would not helm the seventh and final (?) entry in the lucrative Fast and Furious Franchise. According to Lin the studio’s decision to fast forward Fast and Furious 7 until summer 2014 he would not have sufficient time to finish Fast and Furious 6.
After some rumors it was surprisingly quick confirmed that James Wan (Saw, Insidious) would helm part 7. Wan is currently working on his horror movie The Conjuring after delivering the surprise hit Insidious.
