Tyrese and The Rock beefing again: Tyrese sends shots

[Shadow King]

I literally told you I beleive the issue will come down to the spin off having a negative effect on the budget and marketing for the main series.
You aren't reading what I'm writing.

The spinoff will cost 75 mill or less.

 

[Big Boss]

Are you talking about scenes for F8 or scenes for this supposed spinoff? If the former, I'm sure that has to do with the falling out Vin and Rock had last year. If the latter, Vin cannot stop Universal from green lighting a film. If the Hobbs movie is a success, there won't have to be any worries about chemistry or on-set morale because Rock likely won't return for F9/10, if the movie even comes out during the lifespan of the FF series. And the F9/10 film will still make 750M+ at worst even if Rock isn't in it.

Universal is a business entity they're aren't gonna see the Hobbs movie do half a billion and scrap F10. The only way the spinoff "hurts" the OG series is if the put it out in May and the FF film in August or some shyt which wouldn't happen.

Rest of that stuff is just speculation. The cast is probably very close and Vin might make sure nobody gets shafted but if you think Universal is saying, "Alright everybody gets 10 million a film because you walked in the office together" you're being wishful.

That's like saying the Han Solo movie will affect the budget and marketing for Star Wars

Cats acting like the studio weren't the ones to approach the Rock about a spinoff due to the audience fukking with him and Statham's character.

Tyrese should've asked the producer Vin about the family shyt when his character went from a leading man in a sequel that did better than the original to expendable comic relief.

Tyrese wants a buddy cop movie sooo bad

If Universal had a history of managing properties properly like Disney and its studios I wouldn't mind, but Universal doesn't have that history.

Back in the clique days Shawn Michaels tried to make sure his folks got a push over the Rock, the Rock never forgave him for it. So when Rocky blew up and Shawn wanted to work a program, Rock was like "naw I'm good".

Revenge served cold...

When would that be?

Shawn was injured when the rock started blowing up and The PPV HBK came back was the same PPV the rock had his last match before having a very limited schedule

 

[jwinfield]

They fukking killed Michelle Rodriguez' character, someone from the original, in the fourth movie, made more money in the fifth movie without her, but characters like Tyrese and Missandie aren't expendable

You think they gonna take money from marketing and budget from a franchise making 1B?

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

You are wrong. They wanted to go in the direction of Brian. After the third movie Vin became an producer which allowed him back into the series kind of like Letty came back.

If he was the main focus Tokyo Drift or 2F2F would've been centered around him.


Theirs a reason why people were saying Paul was the Fast and The Furious, the Franchise.

Nah,its you that's wrong.


Vin diesel turned down fast 2.

He's also a producer,his production company makes the film's,he's got top billing since day 1,and he had the most power of anyone in the franchise behind the scenes.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

It was a mutually beneficial relationship.....at best.

Your comment would make sense if the Rock was a part of multiple billion dollar franchises prior to Fast and Furious.

He wasnt.

He was doing bullshyt like the Tooth Fairy and The Game Plan. Wack ass movies like Doom.

How can a nikka that never had a $1.5 billion franchise on his own and was in a bunch of bullshyt movies beforehand be responsible for FF's success?

If anything, it was mutually beneficial. FF got a C-list action hero for cheap who's wrestling fame outweighed his importance as an actor (at the time). And the Rock got to be in a film franchise that was already a sure thing and making $400 million without him. IMO, FF didn't need him. They were already transitioning to an Ocean's 11/Mission Impossible style by FF 4. FF 5 and FF 6 would've still came out but maybe made $500 million a piece instead. FF 7 would've blew up regardless with Walker's death. Pick any mid level action star and you could've plugged him in as the Rock's character.

Exactly.


Seeing vin and rock together on screen was a big part of why 5 broke out,and the fact it was by far the best film in the series and totally reinvented it.

Rock benefited from being in that franchise a ton.


Before fast he had been relegated to becoming a star in children's films because all his films were flopping that he was headlining.


And since then he's been attaching himself to every franchise he can find.

okay don't start goal post moving on me..

the rock was never a part of a franchise but cmon man

the rundown
doom
the scorpion king
walking tall

you making it seem like he was doing straight to HBO/Netflix movies; these are theatrical releases from major studios...the dude was considered an action movie star

I mean am i wrong? i'm just saying something that people generally weren't saying about the rock prior to fast 5?

3 of 4 those movies flopped.
