for me,” he notes.

“I wanted to bring

something different to

the franchise, and it all

starts with the story.

This is completely

different; it’s nothing

we’ve ever experienced in

the Fast franchise.

“Dom Toretto is always

about family, and with this

storyline it’s the absolute opposite of

what you expect,” continues the director, who

also realised he needed to shake things up to

keep fans interested. “I wanted to be a part of

delivering not only this different story, but also

a performance that you’ve never seen from

the entire cast. Now we’re able to explore this

different realm of emotions with Dom going up

against his family.”

Of course with Dom going against his

family, he’s also betraying his soul mate, Letty

Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), who is predictably

rattled by this about-face. “Letty is moving on

faith for the entire movie,” considers Rodriguez.

“She knows Dom, she knows how he’s wired

and what drives him; this is the toughest thing

she’s ever faced. Dom and Letty’s relationship

is born of an unconditional love that binds them

to one another.”

“The love is so deep between these two,”

adds Vin Diesel, “and as bleak as the situation

looks, Letty is going to fight for her man… no

matter what.”

Rodriguez continues

that the most important

gift a woman can offer

is her love. “What’s

beautiful about Dom

is that he only sees

love’s strength, and

that’s a testament to

his character. It takes a

certain type of guy to accept

a really strong woman. What

Vin and I try to convey with Letty and

Dom is that, ultimately, the true message is

that idealistic love drives people to fight for

each other, to stay together tough times, and

to believe in each other.”
