'Fast & Furious 6' Scheduled For Memorial Day 2013

Briefly: The sixth movie in the Fast & Furious franchise isn't much more than an early script draft right now, but it already has a release date. Universal has just claimed May 24 2013, aka Memorial Day '13, like Marvin the Martian spiking a flag into a planetoid, crying out "I claim this date in the name of cars!" (Shoot me now. I demand that you shoot me now!) Justin Lin is likely to direct, making this his fourth film in the series, and we know that it will carry forward the Ocean's 11 vibe that was introduced in the most recent episode. Chris Morgan, who penned the last three films, is writing this one, too.Fast & Furious 6 isn't a very elegant title, though. Too bad The Fast and the Furry-ous is already taken. (Universal also dated R.I.P.D., with Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges, for June 28, 2013.) [Deadline]
