While doing press for her new movie Woman in Gold recently, Helen Mirren confessed that she'd love to join the Fast And Furious franchise. She said, "My great ambition is to be in a Fast And Furious movie. I so want to be a mad driver in a Fast And Furious movie. My claim to fame is I always do my own driving I was on Top Gear, and I did in a very good time. I keep putting it out there, and they never ask me. Ill be in Fast And Furious 8."
"I have to say Vin Diesel is brilliant. I love Vin Diesel. Hes a great guy, smart I love him. Its partly because of him Id like to be in one, but also the driving. Id also love to do another Red-type movie, because those are such fun to do."
It didn't take long for Diesel to get wind of the comments, and he seemed rather keen on the idea. He said, "There are so many options!... You've got Nathalie Emmanuel's mother. You've got, of course, the matriarch to the Shaw brothers!" The latter idea in particular sounds like a brilliant fit for the 69-year-old actress. Imagine her as the tough, quick-witted mother of the two villains, giving her an opportunity to take part in some more ridiculous action and command all the mayhem too. It would almost be too amazing to ever actually happen, but fingers are most certainly crossed.
