Vin Diesel says Fast & Furious will end with "one last trilogy"

I know it's probably a bit snobbish of me, but it sorts of cracks me everytime I read about Vin Diesel referring to the Fast and Furious franchise as a "vision", like it's some ethereal, glorious entity that's been blessed upon the world. He makes the damn thing sound almost biblical.
And lo, Saint Diesel did climb down from that mountain.
And so cried his Entourage: "Oh, Diesel...what vision did you glimpse upon that lofty peak? Guide us with that which you have now foreseen"
Thus Saint Diesel did smile, as he did reply: "My friends...in this hour, I have glimpsed a vision sublime, both fast and furious. Cars, I have seen, ridiculously expensive, hilariously impractical cars driving slightly over the legal speed limit on cinematic looking desert highways whilst the characters talk non-stop about family. Countless new, confusingly titled installments of this narrative shall be released, each more outrageous and mind-bogglingly implausable than the last. Lucas Black will be cast as a teenager for some reason, Michelle Rodrigeuz's character shall get improbable amnesia or something, cars will jump in and out of skyscrapers...the Rock will be in it, because...he's the Rock, I don't have to explain myself, fuck you"
And so said his Entourage: "Praise be to Diesel"
And so said Saint Diesel: "We're all family now"

Your only judgement of whether it's good or not is whether it's realistic?

As long as Fast 9 is a time travel adventure where they go back to stop Hitler, and its called NEIN FAST, NEIN FURIOUS, I'm in.
By the time 10 comes out, they'll be over 1/3rd of the way to the definition of movie longevity, Bond.
If Universal plays their cards right, this series could be the next Bond. All depends on how they handle cast transitions.
Edit - Speaking of Bond, they have a terrible curse going on since Brosnan. It goes like this:
New actor (great fucking movie!)
#2) Terrible
#3) Even more terrible
And so on until the recast. Then repeat:
New actor (great fucking movie!)
...
I can't figure it out.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
"...I got a Christmas card from Paul [Walker], he mailed it in advance. He says that nine and ten have to be done too. And in some ways, when you've done ten, you have to make sure a little time passes before you reboot your franchise.
And then he said we have to fight Thanos."

Furious 7 would have been a good end, but we're definitely getting F8, F9, F10, F10-2.
Then a Reboot.

Fast and furious 7 was honestly a terrible movie. I can't believe how bad it was and i was high as hell so it should have been amazing. No all the stunts were so god damn umbeliviable I couldn't stop laughing. All my friends didn't like it and we all thought it was really confusing and had no idea what was going on.
Being confused could have been because of my state of mind though

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
Fast 5 was great, Furious 6 was passable, Furious 7 was a disaster.
I'm hoping Furious 8 is not the apocalypse.

This slayed me. Fast and the Furious are basically the Avengers now,

Hope he uses the cash to make more Riddick movies. Thoroughly enjoyed the last one.
Didn't click with me either. If I wanted to watch a by-the-numbers superhero movie, I'd watch a Marvel movie.
We're going to skydive in, that way we'll be undetected. But with cars! And thus crazy ass parachutes! It'll be great!
And the first time you see GMan. Perfect timing, no? And how was he and his team able to track them, get set up, then have time to come in at the right time? Not to mention his "slow walk oh I'm so cool" intro.
Michael Bay meets Marvel I'd guess.
This shit had me rolling.
You loved it right?!
Think for a second of how ridiculous the idea of ending with "one last trilogy" is. A fucking TRILOGY to end a movie series. There are very few franchises wherein someone could state that without it sounding weird.
Actually, the only other one I could think of is Marvel's MCU, and even then, it's not exactly one long-running single movie series.

The Fast and The Furious is just a TV show that has been rolled into theatres 2 episodes at a time.

who thought a little movie called fast and the furious would turn out to be such a cash magnet.

I love seeing them keep coming backI still can't believe he actually said that.
Shouldn't always be about milking franchises into the ground. One of the main characters died, its not the same anymore, the cast chemistry isn't the same anymore.
Quality schmality. Run that sucker into the ground.
Heh I thought I was the only one. I didn't care much for the first few F&Fs, but I loved what they did with Five (and also Six), bringing back 80s style action movies a la Schwarzenegger. Saw Seven yesterday, but it was just a whole lot of stupid. I mean, they're supposed to be silly, but they should also have some kind of internal logic, which seven completely violated.
Like Arnie mowing down scores of henchmen is logical, because he is a special green beret and called John Matrix, so yeah. But in Furious 7 it were the petty thieves that mowed down scores of green berets, that were even walking around in full tactical gear and bulletproof vests. It's when stupid jumps the shark.

They're running out of excuses to use cars.

So it's a trilogy of trilogies.
Wait no, they'd be going to 10.

I love how even small plot points like that can utterly date a movie.
Could you imagine a movie in 2015 where a gang of criminals steal and sell hi-fi systems?

Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson have also just announced that there will only be 20 more Bond movies.
