Lil Wayne and Liza Lapira Joining Fast and Furious 4

By Nix | May 19, 2008 (10:21 pm) | More: The Fast and the Furious 4 (2009) Movie

Shooting on Justin Lin’s “Fast and Furious” is already well underway, but new castmembers are still being added. First up is actress Liza Lapira, who IMDB.com has listed as playing an FBI agent name Sophie Trinh, a character that will be giving Paul Walker’s Brian O’Conner a hand tracking down some wanted felons. The other casting is rapper Lil Wayne, who is currently in negotiations to join the fourth installment in the popular car franchise.

News about Lil Wayne comes from Contact Music, who has no word on who Lil Wayne would play, but casting a well-known hip-hop artist would seem to jive with the previous “Fast and Furious” films. Ludacris filled the role in “2 Fast 2 Furious”, and “Lil Bow Wow” did likewise in the previous installment, “Tokyo Drift”, which was also directed by Justin Lin.

Fans of TV, especially CBS’ Navy NCIS, will probably recall Liza Lapira (pictured, below) as Special Agent Michelle Lee on the show. The Filipino actress was also recently in the surprise hit “21″, about MIT students who use their skills to break Vegas casinos.

“Fast and Furious” (aka “The Fast and Furious 4″) is due out in 2009.

This will be the best of all. I cannot stay for the next summer and this will be the biggest blockbuster of the year and i am sure it will do it.

My account is not working in the forums..so I am posting here…I think Lil Wayne should have just a transporting deal or something….Brian and Dominic unload the goods in Lil Wayne and his team cars…..They meet up in a disclosed area….do the exchange…talk aliitle bit…maybe meet up at a race meet later on in the story…Lil wayne tries to persuade Dominic to join his team of up and coming race deal…he is sucking on a lolipop at the time…lol…you know for some hidden humor in the film….Lil Wayne is trying to be like Bradga…Bradga finds out and sends his henchmans to go and kill him…Big shoot out between Bradga people and Lil Wayne people….maybe the location is either a club or something…Lil Wayne has to die…or critically injured…so that the audience get the sense that Bradga dont play….

Tyrese part in the film…I dont know what happens to him…I think Tyrese maybe helps Brian for helping him clear his reccord in 2f2f….Tyrese might be rich now with the money he made in 2f2f…when the feds came for Brian to lock him up for the aftermath of f&f1…he saved Roman by telling him to disappear…At first Tyrese shouldn’t want to do it when Brian asks for his help….But Tyrese later he agrees…and meets him up in DR….surprising Brian with a uninformed visit….

 
Hondakid on May 29, 2008

I think the storyline is going back in time…Like I think when Letty dies…The story goes back to the end of F&f 1….rising back to Letty’s death and stuff…so I think the movie actually takes place before 2f2f and during 2f2f….leading to after 2f2f with Paul and the Bradga deal….before drifitng was even popular…when it was all about drag…maybe before tuners were popular in Mexico…I dont know…Im just trying to make the script believable…

 
Hondakid on May 29, 2008

Lets say Tyrese dies in this film…how do you think he should die?… I think while in a club…somebody from Bradga people is ordered to kill him quietly….while Tyrese (Roman) is using the bathroom in the club after drinking….a dude comes from behind Tyrese and puts a plastic bag over his head…Tyrese slams the dude in the mirror in the bathroom…the dude who tries to kill Tyrese lays on the floor…reach into his pocket and uses his cell…and tells Tyrese is leaving the club…another set of people shows up and shoots Tyrese as he leaves the entrance of the club…. Brian told him to wait there…bc he left the club earlier for whatever reason…Now that would be a good plot….Brian already guess that Bradga people had something to do with it…The Bradga people wonders how Brian nows Tyrese…and this starts how Brian is made out to be a cop…compromising his position and causes a big man hunt for him…by Bradga people…Dominic is undetected…and Brian is force to flee…Dominic is ordered to go and kill Brian…Dominic points the gun at Brian….

I had problems this morning too when I posted……..I wanted to post one more time but couldn’t…….hondakid, I’m posting here in case you still can’t post in the forum…….I am liking your whole scenario with lil wayne……..if the film does play out like that then I can see why you really want lil wayne to be in it………

 
Furiousfan on May 29, 2008 Subscribed to comments via email

ok good scenario hondakid… but i don’t think dom kills brian… maybe just lets him flee

 
emmie on May 29, 2008

question for you, hondakid…….I don’t get how the Feds can still go after Brian due to the aftermath of the first film? When you say that Brian saves Roman by letting him disappear, I get that. In fact to me, it would make more sense if the Feds go after Brian because of the money that he and Roman stole and not for letting Dom go.

 
Furiousfan on May 29, 2008 Subscribed to comments via email

Good point emmie

 
emmie on May 29, 2008

this is my last post before I head on over to the forum…….if this film takes place, before, during and after 2f2f then no wonder there is no point in discussing the plot because it’s way too confusing to comprehend…..I hope the events are clear in the film…..

also, I wonder what’s up with the uninformed visit by Roman Pearce not to mention it takes place in the DR……..

as for the last scenario with Roman, Brian and Dom, I like it a lot….I hope it’s true….

 
furiousfan88 on May 29, 2008 Subscribed to comments via email

theres no way its during 2f2f…. it wouldn’t make sense… im going over to the forum too

 
cece on May 29, 2008

wait we are back here again..why do everybody assume they will be flashback.the only flashback i think will be is the one with brian letting dom go

 
cece on May 29, 2008

furiousfan88 on May 29, 2008 Subscribed to comments via email

no flashbacks…. just the one…. how many flashbacks could there be?

 
cece on May 29, 2008

this is how its going to start dom in dr with letty..this is where he meets han and letty leaves to lA…then 5 years later thats it.

 
cece on May 29, 2008
