《狂野時速》外傳將於2019年上映！第9集延期再度導致演員不和！？

幾個月前，筆者跟大家報導過有關環球影片(Universal Pictures)有意開拍《狂野時速》(The Fast and the Furious)外傳電影的消息。日前，外國傳媒證實這部電影將於2019年7月上映，而《狂野時速9》亦將延遲一年至2020年4月才上映。

外國傳媒報導，由「巨石」Dwayne Johnson和Jason Statham主演的外傳電影將於2019年7月26日上映，而《狂野時速9》就由本來的2019年4月19日延期至2020年4月10日上映。《狂野時速》系列從2001年開始上映，Dwayne Johnson飾演的DSS探員Luke Hobbs和Jason Statham飾演的殺手Decker Shaw分別在系列第5集和第6集首次出現。他們二人的角色一開始都是以主角敵人的身份出現，後來才成為主角的同伴。Variety報導，外傳電影的劇本正由從第三集開始為這系列編寫劇本的Chris Morgan編寫，預計於2018年8月開拍，他們的消息來源亦指出《鐵甲奇俠3》(Iron Man 3)、《黐筋雙响炮》(The Nice Guys)導演Shane Black是其中一位導演的候選人。

在過往幾集《狂野時速》製作期間，不時傳出Dwayne Johnson和其他演員，包括Vin Diesel和Tyrese Gibson不和的消息。在片商宣佈《狂野時速9》延期上映之後，戰火似乎再次被燃起。在《狂野時速》第2集開始出現的Tyrese Gibson，在Instagram接連出了兩個貼文，指責Dwayne Johnson一直想把《狂野時速》系列的焦點放在他自己身上，並恭喜他現在終於得償所願，把《狂野時速》大家庭拆散了。他亦指出，他和其他幾位主演過往亦被邀請主演外傳電影，但他們因為想維繫這個家庭，而放棄了這些機會。

Diversity, love, multi ethnic worldwide multi generational, United Nations, One Race, Fast Family...... Until Dewayne showed up I guess this whole time he had a problem cause he wasn't the ONLY ONE on the movie poster........... I guess dreams do come true congratulations to @hhgarcia41 and @therock you guys are just amazing you really broke up the #FastFamily I tried to warn you guys... You thought I was hating......

之後，Dwayne Johnson在Twitter回應，指出自己從第一天開始的目標就是創造一個有趣的角色，並提升這個系列。

My goal from day 1 was to come in and create an exciting/fun character for the fans, elevate the franchise and build it out. #HobbsShaw2019 https://t.co/IJcdQTHSi3

最後，曾傳出與Dwayne Johnson不和的Vin Diesel亦在Instagram裡打圓場，他在貼文裡解釋擴展這系列的理念，並指出不應該就《狂野時速9》延期上映而埋怨任何人。最後，他亦以#FamilyAlways作結，強調這大家庭的重要性。

Brotherhood... and all it's complexities. This scene was filmed in Puerto Rico, I can remember it like it was yesterday. Such a beautiful island, the people were so warm and welcoming. I turned 43 that summer... and my son Vincent was born. A woman named Jan Kelly responded to a question I had asked on Facebook, 'who they would like to see me work with?' She said would love to see me work with Dwayne... I listened to her request and he became Hobbs. I know there has been a lot of speculation as to why the Fast 9 release date was pushed... but it would be unfair to say it is anyone's fault. As we plot the course to expand the Fast & Furious universe, one must be mindful to take stock of the roads we took to get here. The pillars of authenticity, family and most importantly, our loyal fan's perspective has been instrumental in procuring success. However, like any vehicle that has run around the globe 8 times, the franchise is in need of maintenance. My good friend and the godfather of Universal, Ron Meyer has granted me the time to do just that. We have some very exciting news to share soon... stay tuned. Yours truly, Dom #FamilyAlways

事實上，The Hollywood Reporter報導，他們的消息來源透露，這次《狂野時速9》的延期，有可能是為了遷就導演Justin Lin的檔期，讓他可以回歸執導新一集。雖然電影延期的確實原因仍然未明，但相信這外傳電影和《狂野時速9》在未來拍攝時，或會有更多的紛爭出現。
