The Top 10 most-pirated movies of 2011, eh? That will be telling. The following list (via TorrentFreak) shows which films were pirated the most over the past 12 months, how many times they were downloaded, and how much money they went on to make at the box office. 1.

‘Fast and Furious’ 6 & 7 Shooting Together

Those of you who aren’t fans of the Fast and Furious movies and don’t understand the appeal may want to look away now. Because it looks as though Fast and Furious 6 and Fast and Furious 7 will be shooting back-to-back. The two films would not only be shot at the same time but have...

Justin Lin Secures Universal Residency

Justin Lin hasn’t got to worry about paying his mortgage for a couple of years, as Universal has signed him and his production company Barnstorm Pictures up on an exclusive two-year deal. Then again, I suspect Lin has no money troubles anyway after Fast Five grossed more than $600 million worldwide. Although Lin was known...

‘Fast and Furious 6′ Confirmed

Anyone who looked at the box office numbers for Fast Five could probably have predicted another sequel in the series, and director Justin Lin gave the game away in the week following its release. But Fast and Furious 6 has now been officially confirmed and given a release date. It was in May that Lin...

Vin Diesel: ‘Fast Five’ Is Oscar-Worthy!

Fast Five has already made a lot of money, taking more at the box office on opening weekend than any of the previous films in the series. Which is why there will be a sixth film, and very probably a seventh and eighth film as well. However, although the public seem to love the franchise,...

‘Fast Five’ Fabulous As Justin Lin Confirms Sixth Film

Fast Five opened last weekend and absolutely obliterated the competition with astounding box office figures. Like Kirsten, I didn’t expect Fast Five to open so strongly, bringing in $83.6 million in the U.S. Just over half of all the people who went to the movies over the weekend went to see Fast Five. Why? I...

‘Fast and Furious 6′ In Development

I hope you’re a fan of the Fast and Furious movies because there is no end in sight for this particular franchise. It looked for a while as though the Fast and Furious franchise was going to die quietly with Tokyo Drift in 2006. And I don’t think many people would have been that bothered...

Vin Diesel: Two More ‘Fast and Furious’ Movies On Way – Ye Gads!

The first The Fast and The Furious film was quite good – not brilliant but a sneaky little pleasure nonetheless – but it’s gone rapidly downhill since then. After two sequels came a rebooting in the form of the vastly different Fast and Furious. Different, still crap. Unfortunately, not everyone sees it my way, so...

Writer Talks ‘Fast and Furious 5’

Fast and Furious, now without the “the’s” is one of those movie series you either love or hate. I personally am in the latter camp but I can appreciate there are many fans of watching Paul Walker and Vin Diesel racing around in fast cars with even faster women. I suppose that’s the appeal in...

‘The Fast and The Furious 4′ Synopsis

Actually, that title is wrong, because in an effort to be young, hip, and down with the txt spkrs out there, they’ve dropped the “the’s” and it’s not just Fast and Furious. Apart from that though, nothing much has changed, as the official synopsis reveals it’s more of the same for the fast car, gorgeous...

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker Back For ‘The Fast And The Furious 4′

Have movie studios not learned anything from Police Academy? However successful a movie franchise is, you should always stop at number 3, that’s the only way to ensure the films remain as classics, and don’t start tumbling towards the abyss that is known as ‘Straight to DVD’. But no, they don’t learn from the past,...
