Vin Diesel Akhirnya Buka Mulut

Nampaknya 'abang besar' Fast & Furious sudah mula membuka mulut perihal isu filem Hobbs/Shaw yang bakal dibintangi oleh Dwayne Johnson dan Jason Statham.

Sebelum ini, Tyrese Gibson menyuarakan rasa tidak puas hatinya tentang pembikinan filem itu kerana ianya menyebabkan filem Fast & Furious 9 ditunda ke 2020. Kemudian, Dwayne Johnson menyuarakan pendapatnya tentang filem 'spin-off' tersebut.

Sekarang, giliran Vin Diesel pula yang memberi respon di Instagramnya.

Pelakon itu memilih untuk tidak melibatkan diri dalam pergaduhan mulut Gibson vs Johnson ini. Di dalam sebuah video yang dirakam dalam pesawat peribadinya yang dinaiki bersama aktor/rapper Ludacris yang dimuat naik di laman Facebooknya, dia menyatakan:

"Keep it all positive out there. We love everybody. We’re so proud of the Fast franchise and the fans."

Di Instagramnya pula, pelakon itu menyatakan bahawa adalah tidak adil untuk menyalahkan sesiapa dalam hal ini.

Brotherhood... and all it's complexities. This scene was filmed in Puerto Rico, I can remember it like it was yesterday. Such a beautiful island, the people were so warm and welcoming. I turned 43 that summer... and my son Vincent was born. A woman named Jan Kelly responded to a question I had asked on Facebook, 'who they would like to see me work with?' She said would love to see me work with Dwayne... I listened to her request and he became Hobbs. I know there has been a lot of speculation as to why the Fast 9 release date was pushed... but it would be unfair to say it is anyone's fault. As we plot the course to expand the Fast & Furious universe, one must be mindful to take stock of the roads we took to get here. The pillars of authenticity, family and most importantly, our loyal fan’s perspective has been instrumental in procuring success. However, like any vehicle that has run around the globe 8 times, the franchise is in need of maintenance. My good friend and the godfather of Universal, Ron Meyer has granted me the time to do just that. We have some very exciting news to share soon... stay tuned. Yours truly, Dom #FamilyAlways

Peminat kelihatan terus menyalahkan Dwayne Johnson yang dikatakan telah mencuri filem tersebut daripada pelakon asal. Namun, kelihatan seperti 'spin-off' ini boleh memberikan nafas baru kepada francais itu.

Tetapi, mahu tak mahu, kita terpaksa akur bahawa menunggu Fast & Furious 9 lebih mengujakan daripada menunggu filem 'spin-off' ini.
