Fast X has so many characters, it had to be run like a TV show

Fast and Furious films are one of few movies in the world that have an ensemble cast as large as those from the Marvel universe. Fast XThe biggest one of all. The 10th Fast and Furious film was difficult to coordinate with so many characters, multiple storylines and almost every scene taking place in different locations around the globe. Louis Leterrier took a unique approach to break down the film.

In an interview with Polygon, Leterrier, who directed every episode of Netflix’s Age of Resistance, The Dark CrystalHe explained to me that he was actually approaching Fast X (both Part OneYou can also find out more about the following: Part Two(more like he’d run a television show than how he’d direct a regular movie.

If and when you watch this movie again, you’ll see a lot of sentences and lines and cutaways to photos and props and actions, and they’ll Look at the pictures below. simple, but they mean a lot now, and will mean even more later.”

For Leterrier, treating Fast X like a TV show meant focusing on how the storyline builds over time, especially with at least two, maybe three movies’ worth of action left to go. “That’s what TV is, you know,” he says. “You look at story.”
