fast five teaser trailer


It's here! Check out the freshly launched teaser trailer for Fast Five, the super-charged fifth and latest movie in the Fast and Furious auto action franchise. Considering what a huge hit the last movie was, it's no surprise they'd come back for another one. And it looks like they've super-sized it.

Justin Lin is back in the director's chair, and this time around they've pretty much gone all out and brought back almost everybody -- Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang -- from the previous four movies, plus none other than Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Take a look:



Here's the movie's official synopsis:
Since Brian O'Conner and Mia Toretto broke Dom Toretto out of custody, they've blown across many borders to elude authorities. Now backed into a corner in Rio de Janeiro, they must pull one last job in order to gain their freedom. As they assemble their elite team of top racers, the unlikely allies know their only shot of getting out for good means confronting the corrupt businessman who wants them dead. But he's not the only one on their tail. Hard-nosed federal agent Luke Hobbs never misses his target. When he is assigned to track down Dom and Brian, he and his strike team launch an all-out assault to capture them. But as his men tear through Brazil, Hobbs learns he can't separate the good guys from the bad. Now, he must rely on his instincts to corner his prey... before someone else runs them down first.
Here's a recently USA Today article in which Justin promises Fast Five will be bigger and badder: First look: 'Fast Five' cranks up action and star power. Fast Five opens in theaters everywhere on April 29. Just for fun, here are some assorted screen shots:
