We're so excited to welcome one of Hollywood’s brightest creative talents,
the screenwriter behind this summer’s blockbuster,
the new “Fast and the Furious” movie, Fast Five.
Chris Morgan, thanks for joining us.
- Hi. Hi, Chris.
Now Chris, these “Fast and the Furious” movies
are just getting bigger and better.
So when you sat down to write this installment
where there certain elements you wanted to include?
I want the cars to drive fast and then some of them explode.
Oh, that sounds so great.
Now I believe we have a clip to show our audience at home.
Can you set the clip up for us, Chris?
The car went out a train and then there are a hole in the train
and then the car brought the box then the police went after them
then the box hit the car then it crashed into the ocean.
Wow! - It looks like this movie never slows down.
…car goes Zoom and then another time it goes…
No spoilers. No spoilers.
So Chris one of the biggest stars in the business is in this movie, Vin Deisel.
What was it like working with him?
He has big muscles and in the movie he said “I thought I was Done with this.”
Now I understand the movie stays pretty much 100% to your original screenplay?
Yup.
It’s so great to have that kind of a chemistry with the director.
And I understand Jordana Brewster is coming back for this installment?
Yeah, she is a girl and she likes to kiss so she lets them play with the cars
but sometimes she does but mostly just the boys.
Now this is one thing I really love about your movies, Chris.
I mean all the female characters are so strong.
Can I take off my shoes now?
Oh, sure. Like your last movie “Wanted” with Angelina Jolie, she is so tough.
Yup, she sees a bullet and the bullet goes “Poof” around her face
but she ends up only had to take a bath.
See? I love that.
Now before we go, Chris, I have to ask you –
is there a chance we're going to see more “Fast and the Furious” sequels?
Yeah. - Well how many?
600. - Wooh.
Well I know where I'll be every summer.
Well, Chris Morgan, thanks so much for joining us here on Today Now.
Oh, it looks like he’s talking himself out.
Right – and all those moves. - Right.
Don’t forget, this Friday Fast Five premiers in theaters.
And when we come back we’ll talk to an old woman who thinks it's 1958
and I'm her dead husband. Stay with us.
