Universal Pictures has hired Justin Lin to direct THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS 3. None of the stars from the first two films will return.

Lin will direct from a script by Chris Morgan. The story centers on an American drummed out of the U.S. because of his passion for street racing. He moves to Tokyo and soon learns about "drift racing," where cars accelerate into turns and then spin out of them, leading to hairpin, hair-raising races around city blocks. The youth runs afoul of the top drift racer.

Filming will begin early this fall in Asia and the U.S.
