Briefly: The sixth movie in the Fast & Furious franchise isn't much more than an early script draft right now, but it already has a release date. Universal has just claimed May 24 2013, aka Memorial Day '13, like Marvin the Martian spiking a flag into a planetoid, crying out [1] "I claim this date in the name of cars!" (Shoot me now. I demand that you shoot me now! [2]) Justin Lin is likely to direct [3], making this his fourth film in the series, and we know that it will carry forward [4] the Ocean's 11 vibe that was introduced in the most recent episode. Chris Morgan, who penned the last three films, is writing this one, too [5]. Fast & Furious 6 isn't a very elegant title, though. Too bad The Fast and the Furry-ous [6] is already taken. (Universal also dated [7] R.I.P.D., with Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges, for June 28, 2013.)
