==Synopsis==
[[File:CivilRightsAct1964-HouseRollCall-HR7152.jpg|thumb|upright|left|House roll call for the [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]]]]
The play opens shortly after the [[assassination of John F. Kennedy]] on November 22, 1963. and continues through Johnson's landslide reelection on November 3, 1964. In his first year as president, Johnson engineers passage of [[Civil Rights Act of 1964]]. Johnson has Senator [[Hubert Humphrey]] of Minnesota reach out to liberal congressmen and civil rights groups, while Johnson personally deals with Southern congressmen, who are deeply opposed to the legislation. At the end of Act One, the civil rights act passes the Senate, using cajolery, arm-twisting and blackmail to get his way. Johnson himself is from the south, and he is close to the recalcitrant southern congressmen, and he uses homespun and sometimes off-color stories to persuade them.<ref name="Observer"/><ref name="Isherwood-Broadway"/> A reviewer noted that "Johnson seems just to be shooting the breeze when really he’s riding herd on friend and foe alike in anxious pursuit of his goals." Throughout, the play makes copious reference to congressional terminology unusual in Broadway plays, such as "[[cloture]]" and "[[filibuster]]," which are mechanisms used to extract bills from committee, .<ref name="Isherwood-Broadway"/>

Johnson is portrayed as emotionally needy and vulnerable, even as he rides roughshod over other people such as his wife, [[Lady Bird Johnson]], and his longtime aide [[Walter Jenkins]], who he abandons after he is arrested on a morals charge. He is disdainful of Humphrey, and promises the vice-presidency to him in the 1964 elections if he goes along with Johnson.<ref name="Observer"/><ref name="Isherwood-Broadway"/>

Johnson engages in spirited conversations with Sen. [[Richard Russell, Jr.|Richard Russell]] of Georgia, who strongly opposes the legislation but finds that his ability to stop the bill has ebbed because of Johnson's tactics.<ref name="Isherwood-Broadway"/>

On the other side, Dr. [[Martin Luther King Jr.]] must contend with more conservative leaders such as [[Roy Wilkins]] who oppose civil rights marches and militant leaders like [[Stokely Carmichael]], who favor strong action. The more activist leaders prevail, and launch the "[[Freedom Summer]]," in which young college students ride buses into the south to desegregate facilities. Three [[Freedom Rider]]<nowiki/>s, [[Michael Schwerner]], [[Andrew Goodman]] and [[James Chaney]], are slain, forcing Johnson to send in the FBI and further inflaming emotions. [[J. Edgar Hoover]] is shown eavesdropping on Dr. King.<ref name="Isherwood-Broadway"/>

In the second act, the action shifts to [[Atlantic City, New Jersey]], where a battle is brewing at the [[1964 Democratic Convention|1964 Democratic National Convention]]. The segregated Mississippi delegation is challenged by the integrated [[Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party]].<ref name="Isherwood-Broadway"/>

==Themes==
Schenkkan describes ''All the Way'' as a play about "the morality of politics and power. Where do you draw the line in terms of intentions and action.

The play's set is a semi-circular dais surrounding the central portion of the stage. The ''[[New York Observer]]'' said that the surrounding seats "serve as Congressional hearing rooms, and as spots for ever-present observers to sit and watch, but mostly they render the stage a coliseum, with everything that happens a battle, or maybe a courtroom: L.B.J. is always on trial."<ref name="Observer"/>

Unlike previous dramatic depictions of Johnson, such as [[Barbara Garson]]'s satirical 1967 play ''[[MacBird!]]'', Johnson is portrayed sympathetically. Writing in ''[[The New York Times]]'', [[Sam Tanenhaus]] said that ''All the Way'' portrays Johnson "as something far more interesting and even inspiring: the last and perhaps greatest of all legislative presidents, with his wizardly grip on the levers of governance at a time when it was still possible for deals to be brokered and favors swapped and for combatants to clash in an atmosphere of respect, if not smiling concord."<ref name="Tanenhaus">{{cite news | url=http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/09/theater/bryan-cranston-is-playing-lyndon-johnson-on-broadway.html | title=Presidential Chemistry: Bryan Cranston Is Playing Lyndon Johnson on Broadway | work=The New York Times | date=February 5, 2014 | accessdate=14 March 2014 | last=Tanenhaus | first=Sam}}</ref>

==Broadway production==
In preparing for the role, Cranston sought to meet [[Robert Caro]], author of a multipart biography of Johnson (''[[The Years of Lyndon Johnson]]''). But Caro refused, telling ''The New York Times'': "I didn’t want to see someone playing Lyndon Johnson or talk to the actor playing him because I was afraid that image would become blurred for me. The better the actor the more danger there would be that that would happen.”<ref name="Caro">{{cite news | url=http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/02/10/robert-caro-l-b-j-and-all-the-way/ | title=Robert Caro, L.B.J. and ‘All The Way’ | work=The New York Times | date=February 10, 2014 | accessdate=March 15, 2014 | last=Tanenhaus | first=Sam}}</ref>

==Critical reception==
The Broadway production received generally favorable reviews, with Bryan Cranston's performance singled out for praise.

Writing in ''[[The New York Times]]'', [[Charles Isherwood]] called ''All the Way'' a "dense but mostly absorbing drama, set during the tense first year of Johnson’s presidency following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy." Isherwood praised Cranston as Johnson, saying his "heat-generating performance galvanizes the production. Even when Johnson is offstage or the writing sags with exposition, the show, directed solidly by Bill Rauch, retains the vitalizing imprint of his performance." Other characters such as Hoover and [[George Wallace]] are "merely sketched in," and the play "sorely needs streamlining."<ref name="Isherwood-Broadway">{{cite news | url=http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/07/theater/bryan-cranston-as-president-johnson-in-all-the-way.html | title=Washington Power Play: Bryan Cranston as President Johnson in ‘All the Way’ | work=The New York Times | date=March 6, 2014 | accessdate=14 March 2014 | author=Isherwood, Christopher}}</ref> In his review of the American Repertory Theater production, also starring Cranston, Isherwood said the play "ultimately accrues minimal dramatic momentum."<ref name="Isherwood-ART">{{cite news | url= http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/26/theater/reviews/all-the-way-stars-bryan-cranston-as-lyndon-b-johnson.html | title=An Arm-Twister in the Oval Office: ‘All the Way’ Stars Bryan Cranston as Lyndon B. Johnson | work=The New York Times | date=September 25, 2013 | accessdate=March 15, 2014 | author=Isherwood, Charles}}</ref>

The Broadway production was called "juicy" by the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'', which said that Cranston "offers up a restless, hypnotically intense physicality coupled with an intimately forged vulnerability." It said that the lead actor "does not disappoint for a moment, driving the show with a truly riveting life-force and, it seems, painting every up and down in this insecure but notably self-aware president's life on his visage, which he seems to pull and stretch in limitless directions.

==Premise==
In [[New York City]] in [[1900]], the Knickerbocker Hospital operates with innovative surgeons, nurses and staff who have to overcome medicinal limitations to prevent staggeringly high mortality rates. Dr. John Thackery (partially based on historical figure, [[William Stewart Halsted]]<ref>[http://online.wsj.com/articles/cinemaxs-the-knick-portrays-gilded-age-gore-1406223226 'The Knick' Portrays Gilded-Age Gore | The Wall Street Journal]</ref>), the newly appointed leader of the surgery staff, battles his cocaine and opium addictions with his ambition for medical discovery and reputation among his peers. Dr. Algernon Edwards, a Harvard-educated, European-trained [[African American|black]] surgeon (partially based on the historical [[Marshall Taylor]]<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2-LJqMmnRg&list=UUCcVQKtF8zHVQoTJt8NNMJA]</ref>), must fight for respect within the all-white-populated hospital, as well as the racially-charged city. While literally struggling to keep the lights on, the hospital attempts to attract a wealthy clientele, without sacrificing quality care.

| ShortSummary = After Drs. J. M. Christiansen and John Thackery fail to save a woman and child during [[placenta praevia]] surgery, Christiansen commits suicide. Thackery takes his place as leader of the surgery staff. He believes Dr. Everett Gallinger would make an excellent deputy, but he is asked to hire Dr. Algernon Edwards, who is black. Expecting racial tension among the staff, Thackery refuses. The hospital's benefactor then pulls the funding to install electricity. Hospital manager Herman Barrow hires Edwards. When a patient develops a bronchial infection after surgery, Thackery is needed again. Nurse Lucy Elkins finds him at his house, suffering from cocaine withdrawal. She injects him, and he returns to operate with a revolutionary clamp that he has made. Afterwards, he asks Edwards to resign, but he refuses. Electricians then resume installation.

However, it is revealed that Barrow is pocketing hospital funds to try and pay on a loan to a mobster. Meanwhile, Thackery demands cadavers for experiments, and Drs. Chickering and Gallinger break into a library to study some of Edwards' French medical journals.

==Premise==
In [[New York City]] in [[1900]], the Knickerbocker Hospital operates with innovative surgeons, nurses and staff who have to overcome medicinal limitations to prevent staggeringly high mortality rates. Dr. John Thackery (partially based on historical figure, [[William Stewart Halsted]]<ref>http://online.wsj.com/articles/cinemaxs-the-knick-portrays-gilded-age-gore-1406223226</ref>), the newly appointed leader of the surgery staff, battles his cocaine and opium addictions with his ambition for medical discovery and reputation among his peers. Harvard graduate Dr. Algernon Edwards must fight for respect within the all-white-populated hospital, as well as the racially charged city. While literally struggling to keep the lights on, the hospital attempts to attract a wealthy clientele, without sacrificing quality care.

==Plot==
During [[World War II]], [[Eric Lomax]] (Irvine) is a British officer who is captured by the Japanese in [[Singapore]] and sent to a [[POW]] camp, where he is [[forced labour|forced to work]] on the [[Burma Railway|Thai-Burma Railway]]. During his time in the camp, Lomax is tortured by the [[Kempetai]] primarily for building a radio.

Years later and still suffering the psychological trauma of his wartime experiences, with the help of his wife Patti (Kidman) and best friend Finlay (Skarsgård) Lomax (Firth) decides to find and confront one of his captors. He returns to the scene of his torture after he has tracked down Japanese officer Takashi Nagase (Sanada) "in an attempt let go of a lifetime of bitterness and hate".<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118053217.html |title=Skarsgard, Sanada joins 'Railway Man': Pic stars Colin Firth, Nicole Kidman|first=Adam|last=Dawtry|work=Variety|date=2012-04-27|accessdate=2012-04-28}}</ref><ref name=Guard>{{cite news |url= http://www.theguardian.com/film/2012/apr/27/colin-firth-nicole-kidman-railway-man?newsfeed=true |title=Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman aboard for second world war film The Railway Man | Film | theguardian.com |first=Kirsty |last=Scott |work=theguardian.com |year=27 April 2012|accessdate=December 2, 2013}}</ref>

We do sometimes see stories about what it's like coming home from war, we very rarely see stories about what it's like decades later. This is not just a portrait of suffering. It's about relationships ... how that damage interacts with intimate relationships, with love."<ref name=Guard/>

[[Rachel Weisz]] was originally to play Patti, but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with re-shoots for other films.<ref name=GC>{{cite news|url=http://www.goldcoast.com.au/article/2012/03/08/397781_more-gold-coast-gig-guide.html|title=Kidman, Firth to hit Coast for film|date=2012-03-08|accessdate=2012-03-08|work=Goldcoast.com.au| location=Queensland, Australia | first=Tanya | last=Westthorp}}</ref>

==Reception==

The fim received mixed to positive reviews from critics. Based on 39 reviews collected by [[Rotten Tomatoes]], it holds an 72% approval rating and a [[Weighted mean|rating average]] of 6.6 out of 10.<ref>{{cite web | url= http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_railway_man/ | title=The Railway Man | publisher= [[Flixster]] | work = [[Rotten Tomatoes]] | accessdate= 13 January 2014 }}</ref> General audience reception (as assessed by [[Rotten Tomatoes]] and the [[Internet Movie Database]]) has been generally positive.

==Historical Accuracy==

Dr Philip Towle from the University of Cambridge, who specialises in the treatment of POWs, awarded the film three stars out of five for historical accuracy. [http://www.historyextra.com/feature/historian-movies-railway-man-reviewed Reviewing the film for History Extra, the website of BBC History Magazine], he said that while he had no problem with the representation of the suffering of POWs and of the way in which the Japanese are portrayed, "the impression [the film] gives of the postwar behaviour of former POWs of the Japanese is too generalised, and the crucial meeting between victim and perpetrator was fundamentally changed for dramatic effect."<ref>{{cite web|title=Historian at the Movies: The Railway Man reviewed|url=http://www.historyextra.com/feature/historian-movies-railway-man-reviewed|publisher=History Extra|accessdate=20 January 2014}}</ref>

Dr Towle said that Lomax’s book makes clear that he prepared to meet one of his tormenters to seek some sort of closure. Yet, "to build up suspense, the film suggests that he went to the encounter determined on vengeance, and it was the meeting alone which led him to change his mind. The film also suggests that his tormenter was not expecting to meet Lomax, whereas in reality correspondence had prepared him for it."

Dr Towle also said the film "compressed the war so that it appeared as if the prisoners were rescued from the railway itself by the arrival of allied forces after the Japanese surrender.

"In fact, the railway had been completed, as much as it was ever going to be, and the main dangers to the POWs came from starvation and disease, Allied bombing and the looming threat that all would be murdered by the Japanese at the end of the war."

'''David Fox''' is an [[United States|American]] multimedia producer who [[Game design|designed]] and [[Computer programming|programmed]] numerous early [[LucasArts]] games. He and his wife, [[Annie Fox (author)|Annie Fox]], now work on educational software, Web design, [[Emotional Intelligence]] content, online communities, emerging technologies, and writing books for children and teens.

==Early work==
Fox is based in the [[San Francisco Bay Area]]. At age eleven, he made his first 8 mm cartoon using stacks of discarded [[Flintstones]] cels he found in the trash bins behind [[Hanna-Barbera]]. He studied engineering at [[University of California, Los Angeles|UCLA]] and Humanistic Psychology at [[California State University]] at Sonoma, where he received his bachelor's degree. Fox and his wife Annie co-founded [[Marin Computer Center]] in 1977 - the world’s first public-access microcomputer center. He co-authored the books Computer Animation Primer, Armchair BASIC, and Pascal Primer.

==LucasArts==
His books led to him being hired as a founding member of the Games Division at [[Lucasfilm]] (now [[LucasArts]] Entertainment Company). Over the next ten years, he was the designer, project leader, and one of the programmers for the games ''[[Rescue on Fractalus!]]'', ''[[Labyrinth: The Computer Game|Labyrinth]]'', ''[[Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders]]'' and ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure]]''. He also worked on ''[[Maniac Mansion]]'' as the primary script programmer. Fox was part of the memorable team that included [[Ron Gilbert]] and [[Noah Falstein]].

He spent his last two years at LucasArts as Manager of Entertainment Software on Mirage (a collaboration between LucasArts and [[Hughes Aircraft Corporation]]). This multi-player, networked location-based entertainment system was intended for theme parks, but like several early Lucasfilm projects of the time, was too advanced and hence too expensive for the market at that time.

==Talk City==
After leaving LucasArts, Fox was a Senior Game Designer at [[Rocket Science Games]], then worked as a freelance consultant on several games. In 1996, he joined LiveWorld Inc./Talk City, an Internet community provider, as their Director of Kids and Entertainment Programming. During his four years at the company, he produced The InSite, a Web site for teen empowerment, and then became the Director of New Content.

In 2001, he returned to immersive gaming at Xulu Entertainment, producing their motion simulator project. Then he produced and designed a prototype of an educational game for Learning Friends under a grant from the [[William and Flora Hewlett Foundation]].

==Recent and current work==
In the run-up to the [[Democratic Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2004|2004 Democratic primaries]], Fox was active on [[Howard Dean]]'s Media Team (responsible for [http://www.Switch2Dean.com Switch2Dean.com]) and built a [[blog]] for [[Simon & Schuster]] on Dean's book, ''Winning Back America''.

Since then, Fox has developed Web sites for authors [[David McCullough]] and [[Terry Gamble]], Alaska Federation of Natives and Marin Democrats, all with graphic designer [[Daniel Will-Harris]].

From 2005 to 2011, he was the Director of Production for [[NewsTrust]], a citizen news rating service aiming to bring together experienced journalists and volunteer reviewers.<ref name="resume">http://www.electriceggplant.com/Davids_resume.shtml</ref>

He currently designs apps for the iTunes App Store.<ref name="resume"/>

'''David Fox''' is an [[United States|American]] multimedia producer who [[Game design|designed]] and [[Computer programming|programmed]] numerous early [[LucasArts]] games. He and his wife, [[Annie Fox (author)|Annie Fox]], now work on educational software, Web design, [[Emotional Intelligence]] content, online communities, emerging technologies, and writing books for children and teens.

==Early work==
Fox is based in the [[San Francisco Bay Area]]. At age eleven, he made his first 8 mm cartoon using stacks of discarded [[Flintstones]] cels he found in the trash bins behind [[Hanna-Barbera]]. He studied engineering at [[University of California, Los Angeles|UCLA]] and Humanistic Psychology at [[California State University]] at Sonoma, where he received his bachelor's degree. Fox and his wife Annie co-founded [[Marin Computer Center]] in 1977 - the world’s first public-access microcomputer center. He co-authored the books Computer Animation Primer, Armchair BASIC, and Pascal Primer.

==LucasArts==
His books led to him being hired as a founding member of the Games Division at [[Lucasfilm]] (now [[LucasArts]] Entertainment Company). Over the next ten years, he was the designer, project leader, and one of the programmers for the games ''[[Rescue on Fractalus!]]'', ''[[Labyrinth: The Computer Game|Labyrinth]]'', ''[[Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders]]'' and ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure]]''. He also worked on ''[[Maniac Mansion]]'' as the primary script programmer. Fox was part of the memorable team that included [[Ron Gilbert]] and [[Noah Falstein]].

He spent his last two years at LucasArts as Manager of Entertainment Software on Mirage (a collaboration between LucasArts and [[Hughes Aircraft Corporation]]). This multi-player, networked location-based entertainment system was intended for theme parks, but like several early Lucasfilm projects of the time, was too advanced and hence too expensive for the market at that time.

==Talk City==
After leaving LucasArts, Fox was a Senior Game Designer at [[Rocket Science Games]], then worked as a freelance consultant on several games. In 1996, he joined LiveWorld Inc./Talk City, an Internet community provider, as their Director of Kids and Entertainment Programming. During his four years at the company, he produced The InSite, a Web site for teen empowerment, and then became the Director of New Content.

In 2001, he returned to immersive gaming at Xulu Entertainment, producing their motion simulator project. Then he produced and designed a prototype of an educational game for Learning Friends under a grant from the [[William and Flora Hewlett Foundation]].

==Recent and current work==
In the run-up to the [[Democratic Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2004|2004 Democratic primaries]], Fox was active on [[Howard Dean]]'s Media Team (responsible for [http://www.Switch2Dean.com Switch2Dean.com]) and built a [[blog]] for [[Simon & Schuster]] on Dean's book, ''Winning Back America''.

Since then, Fox has developed Web sites for authors [[David McCullough]] and [[Terry Gamble]], Alaska Federation of Natives and Marin Democrats, all with graphic designer [[Daniel Will-Harris]].

From 2005 to 2011, he was the Director of Production for [[NewsTrust]], a citizen news rating service aiming to bring together experienced journalists and volunteer reviewers.<ref name="resume">http://www.electriceggplant.com/Davids_resume.shtml</ref>

He currently designs apps for the iTunes App Store.<ref name="resume"/>

|ShortSummary = Louisiana, 1995. Detectives Martin Hart ([[Woody Harrelson]]) and Rustin "Rust" Cohle ([[Matthew McConaughey]]) investigate the ritualistic murder of former prostitute Dora Kelly Lange, found with a symbol painted on her back and wearing a "crown" of deer antlers. A twig latticework, like a Cajun bird trap, is found with her body. Cohle is convinced that this is not the killer's first victim, but Hart is skeptical. Their investigation brings up the case of Marie Fontenot, a little girl whose disappearance five years earlier was not investigated. Another report is brought up, of a little girl who claimed to be chased through the woods by a "green-eared spaghetti monster." Hart invites Cohle over for dinner, unaware that it is Cohle's deceased daughter's birthday. Cohle reluctantly accepts but, losing a battle with alcoholism, turns up drunk. Hart and Cohle follow up on the Fontenot disappearance with a visit to Marie's uncle Danny. In a dilapidated playhouse, Cohle finds another twig latticework.
----
Seventeen years later, Hart and Cohle are interviewed separately about Dora Kelly Lange by Detectives Thomas Papania ([[Tory Kittles]]) and Maynard Gilbough ([[Michael Potts (actor)|Michael Potts]]). Hart and Cohle have not spoken in ten years following a falling-out in 2002. Cohle is shown a photograph of another girl whose body has been found posed in similar fashion to Lange. Papania and Gilbough want to know how the killer could have struck again if he was caught in 1995.

== Reception ==
The first season received very positive reviews from critics, and scored a [[Metacritic]] rating of 87 out of 100 based on 34 reviews, indicating "Universal acclaim".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/tv/true-detective |title=True Detective : Season 1 |publisher=Metacritic |accessdate=January 13, 2014}}</ref> David Wiegand of ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]'' wrote "The dialogue is rich, colorful and provocative, adding to the gothic sensibilities of the series. Director Cary Joji Fukunaga makes great use of the Louisiana location, giving it as much importance to the story as the characters of Cohle and Hart. All the performances are superb, but those of McConaughey and Harrelson are in a class by themselves."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sfgate.com/tv/article/True-Detective-review-2-stars-shine-brightly-5129041.php |title='True Detective' review: 2 stars shine brightly |first=David |last=Wiegand |work=San Francisco Chronicle |date=January 9, 2014 |accessdate=January 13, 2014}}</ref> Robert Lloyd of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' praised the series' format, writing "We are seeing the return of the miniseries, reborn out of the seasonal long arc of the 8-to-13-hour dramatic serial.

|ShortSummary = Louisiana, 1995. Detectives Martin Hart ([[Woody Harrelson]]) and Rustin "Rust" Cohle ([[Matthew McConaughey]]) investigate the ritualistic murder of former prostitute Dora Kelly Lange, found with a symbol painted on her back and wearing a "crown" of deer antlers. A twig latticework, like a Cajun bird trap, is found with her body. Cohle is convinced that this is not the killer's first victim, but Hart is skeptical. Their investigation brings up the case of Marie Fontenot, a little girl whose disappearance five years earlier was not investigated. Another report is brought up, of a little girl who claimed to be chased through the woods by a "green-eared spaghetti monster." Hart invites Cohle over for dinner, unaware that it is Cohle's deceased daughter's birthday. Cohle reluctantly accepts but, losing a battle with alcoholism, turns up drunk. Hart and Cohle follow up on the Fontenot disappearance with a visit to Marie's uncle Danny. In a dilapidated playhouse, Cohle finds another twig latticework.
----
Seventeen years later, Hart and Cohle are interviewed separately about Dora Kelly Lange by Detectives Thomas Papania ([[Tory Kittles]]) and Maynard Gilbough ([[Michael Potts (actor)|Michael Potts]]). Hart and Cohle have not spoken in ten years following a falling-out in 2002. Cohle is shown a photograph of another girl whose body has been found posed in similar fashion to Lange. Papania and Gilbough want to know how the killer could have struck again if he was caught in 1995.

== Reception ==
The first season received very positive reviews from critics, and scored a [[Metacritic]] rating of 87 out of 100 based on 34 reviews, indicating "Universal acclaim".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.metacritic.com/tv/true-detective |title=True Detective : Season 1 |publisher=Metacritic |accessdate=January 13, 2014}}</ref> David Wiegand of ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]'' wrote "The dialogue is rich, colorful and provocative, adding to the gothic sensibilities of the series. Director Cary Joji Fukunaga makes great use of the Louisiana location, giving it as much importance to the story as the characters of Cohle and Hart. All the performances are superb, but those of McConaughey and Harrelson are in a class by themselves."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sfgate.com/tv/article/True-Detective-review-2-stars-shine-brightly-5129041.php |title='True Detective' review: 2 stars shine brightly |first=David |last=Wiegand |work=San Francisco Chronicle |date=January 9, 2014 |accessdate=January 13, 2014}}</ref> Robert Lloyd of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' praised the series' format, writing "We are seeing the return of the miniseries, reborn out of the seasonal long arc of the 8-to-13-hour dramatic serial.

'''''Fast & Furious 6''''' (alternatively known as '''''Fast Six''''') is an upcoming [[action film]] written by [[Chris Morgan (writer)|Chris Morgan]] and directed by [[Justin Lin]]. It is the sixth installment in the ''[[The Fast and the Furious (film series)|Fast and the Furious]]'' film series. [[Vin Diesel]], [[Paul Walker]], [[Dwayne Johnson]], [[Michelle Rodriguez]] and [[Jordana Brewster]] will star.

''Fast & Furious 6'' was in development by February 2010 as the first film in the series to move away from the underground car-racing theme of the series' previous films which was considered to have placed a barrier on audience numbers. Pre-production had begun by April 2011, and [[principal photography]] began in London, England in July 2012. Filming locations also include the [[Canary Islands]], Scotland, and Los Angeles. The film is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.

==Premise==
After the events of ''[[Fast Five]]'', professional criminal Dominic Toretto and his crew are wealthy, but their criminal records prevent them from returning to their home country. Following his attempts to apprehend them, [[Diplomatic Security Service]] (DSS) agent Luke Hobbs offers the crew a deal; he will give them all full pardons for their crimes if they help him take down a lethally skilled mercenary organization led by a criminal mastermind and his ruthless second-in-command, Dominic's thought-dead lover Letty Ortiz.<ref name="Premise"/>

==Production==
===Development===
In February 2010, Diesel confirmed that production of ''[[Fast Five]]'' was commencing and also announced that a sixth installment was being planned.<ref name="ScreenRantSequel"/> In January 2011, producer Neal H. Moritz said more:<ref name="ColliderSequel"/>

<blockquote>In Vin and my mind we already know what the sixth movie is, we’ve already been talking about it. Vin and I have had numerous conversations about what that might be. And we’re starting to get serious about it right now. We just finished [''Fast Five''] like 4 or 5 weeks ago and we just needed a break, and now we’re gonna start focusing on that.</blockquote>

In April 2011 it was confirmed that Chris Morgan had already begun work on a script for a potential sixth film at the behest of Universal Studios.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> It was also confirmed that Universal intended to transform the series from street-racing action into a series of heist films with car chases in the vein of ''[[The Italian Job]]'' (1969) and ''[[The French Connection (film)|The French Connection]]'' (1971), with ''Fast Five'' as the transitional movie.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> Universal chairman Adam Fogelson said:<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/>

<blockquote>The question putting ''Fast Five'' and ''Fast Six'' together for us was: Can we take it out of being a pure car culture movie and into being a true action franchise in the spirit of those great heist films made 10 or 15 years ago?</blockquote>

Fogelson said that the racing aspect had put a "ceiling" on the number of people willing to see films in the series, and that, by turning it into a series where car driving ability is just one aspect of the film, he hoped to increase the series' audience.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> On Johnson's character, Fogelson added "[Johnson] also wants to appear in and be integral to the action in ''Fast Six''."<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/>

On June 24, 2011, Universal Pictures announced that the anticipated sequel is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.<ref name="FastSixEarlyDate"/> Moritz and Diesel are to return as producers and Lin returns to direct.<ref name="FastSixEarlyDate"/> In an interview with ''[[Boxoffice (magazine)|Box Office]]'', Lin revealed that he had, after discussions with Diesel, storyboarded, [[Previsualization|previsualized]] and edited a twelve-minute finale for ''Fast Six'' before filming was completed on ''Fast Five''. Lin said he shot the footage as he was unsure at the time if there would be a sequel or if he would be able to direct it, but he wanted to have input on how any sequel would end.<ref name="SequelBoxOffice"/> On October 21, 2011, the ''Los Angeles Times'' reported that Universal was considering filming two sequels—''Fast Six'' and ''Fast Seven''—[[Back to back film production|back to back]] with a single story running through both films; both written by Morgan and directed by Lin.<ref name="SequelLaTimes"/> On December 20, 2011, Diesel confirmed that ''Fast Six'' would be split into two parts, with writing for the two films occurring simultaneously. On the decision, Diesel said:<ref name="SequelDec20"/>

<blockquote>We have to pay off this story, we have to service all of these character relationships, and when we started mapping all that out it just went beyond 110 pages...The studio said, 'You can't fit all that story in one damn movie!'<ref name="SequelDec20"/></blockquote>

On April 23, 2012, it was announced that [[mixed martial arts]] fighter Gina Carano was in negotiations to play a member of Hobbs' team.<ref name="SequelApr2312"/> On May 1, 2012, Michelle Rodriguez was confirmed to be reprising her role as Letty Ortiz,<ref name="SequelMay112"/> and it was announced that Welsh actor Luke Evans had been offered a role as a villain.<ref name="SequeEvans"/> Evans was confirmed to join the cast on May 9, 2012, portraying the leader of a heist gang competing with Diesel's crew over the same heist job.<ref name="SequelMay912"/> On July 27, 2012, Joe Taslim was confirmed to star as the villain Jah.<ref name="SequelJuly2712"/> On February 15, 2012, Johnson confirmed that ''Fast Six'' would begin filming in May 2012, with some of the production to take place in the United Kingdom and Germany. Johnson stated that the two intended sequels would no longer be filmed simultaneously because of weather issues in filming locations, and that production on ''Fast Seven'' would only begin after the completion of ''Fast Six''.<ref name="SequelFeb1512"/> However, filming did not officially begin until July 30, 2012.<ref name="SequelFilming1"/> In February 2013, it was confirmed that the film would be titled ''Fast & Furious 6''.<ref name="TitleFinal"/>

===Principal photography===
Filming began on July 30, 2012, in London, England,<ref name="SequelFilming1"/><ref name="FilmingLondon"/><ref name="FilmingLondon2"/> and [[Shepperton Studios]] in Surrey, part of the [[Pinewood Studios]] group.<ref name="FilmingEngland"/> Lin was unable to obtain permission to shoot an action sequence at [[Piccadilly Circus]] involving an exploding oil tanker, and so a replica of the landmark was built at Shepperton.<ref name="FilmingEngland2"/> The London shoot including filming on [[Lambeth Bridge]].<ref name="FilmingLondonLam"/> On October 11, 2012, Walker suffered an [[anterior cruciate ligament injury]] during a stunt, requiring the production to film around his scenes until he recovered.<ref name="FilmingLon1011"/> A scene involving a plane crash began filming at [[RAF Bovingdon]], [[Hertfordshire]] on October 30, 2012 and was scheduled to conclude on November 9.<ref name="FilmingEngNov3"/> Filming for a car chase scene took place on [[Dale Street]] in [[Liverpool City Centre]], and the [[Queensway Tunnel]] in the nearby town of [[Birkenhead]] between November 12-15, 2012.<ref name="FilmLiverpool"/><ref name="FilmBirkenhead"/>

Shooting also occurred on Spain's [[Canary Islands]] including the island of [[Tenerife]]. Filming had been intended to take place in [[Marseille]], France, but was relocated to the islands to take advantage of a larger tax rebate (38%) that was estimated to lower filming costs by $20 million.<ref name="FilmingSpain"/>

Stunt and car chase scenes began filming on location in [[Glasgow]], Scotland on August 29, 2012, and were scheduled to conclude on September 16, 2012. The shoot took place entirely at night and involved approximately 250 crew, but none of the central cast. Sets were built on site for the scenes including a large car showroom.<ref name="FilmGlasgow"/><ref name="FilmGlasgow2"/> Filming was scheduled to take place at the former Royal Air Force base [[RAF Bentwaters]] in late August 2012 until early September 2012.<ref name="FilmSuff"/> Filming also took place in [[Echo Park, Los Angeles]] beginning on December 1, 2012. The shoot returned the series to the filming location of the original ''[[The Fast and the Furious (2001 film)|The Fast and the Furious]]'', and required the garage setting of that film to be rebuilt by carpenters.<ref name="FilmLA"/> By December 17, 2012, it was reported that filming had concluded.<ref name="FilmOver"/>

==Marketing==
''Fast & Furious 6'' employed social media to raise awareness. The film's first trailer was released during the 2013 [[Super Bowl XLVII|Super Bowl]] on February 3. Among the six films that launched trailers at the Super Bowl, ''Fast & Furious 6'' generated widespread attention on social media, moreso than the other five films (including ''[[Iron Man 3]]'' and ''[[Star Trek Into Darkness]]'') combined according to data collection agency Fizziology. The extended version of the trailer had been viewed over 16 million times by February 17. The trailers success was partially attributed to the film's stars promoting the trailer on their personal social networks. The ''The Fast and the Furious'' series marketing had made efforts to cultivate an online fan base which was also considered to have helped promote the film; the filmmakers responded to fan interaction, conducting an online poll to decide the title of ''Fast & Furious 6'', brought back the character of Letty Ortiz based on fan feedback and encouraged fans to document the filming process of ''Fast & Furious 6'' with unofficial photos. Universal's marketing co-president Michael Moses said: "We’re trying to remove the studio filter as much as possible, which is a little scary because you’re ceding control... But it makes for more authentic and organic interaction with fans."<ref name="Marketing"/><ref name="Marketing2"/>

'''''Fast & Furious 6''''' (alternatively known as '''''Fast Six''''') is an upcoming [[action film]] written by [[Chris Morgan (writer)|Chris Morgan]] and directed by [[Justin Lin]]. It is the sixth installment in the ''[[The Fast and the Furious (film series)|Fast and the Furious]]'' film series. [[Vin Diesel]], [[Paul Walker]], [[Dwayne Johnson]], [[Michelle Rodriguez]] and [[Jordana Brewster]] will star.

''Fast & Furious 6'' was in development by February 2010 as the first film in the series to move away from the underground car-racing theme of the series' previous films which was considered to have placed a barrier on audience numbers. Pre-production had begun by April 2011, and [[principal photography]] began in London, England in July 2012. Filming locations also include the [[Canary Islands]], Scotland, and Los Angeles. The film is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.

==Premise==
After the events of ''[[Fast Five]]'', professional criminal Dominic Toretto and his crew are wealthy, but their criminal records prevent them from returning to their home country. Following his attempts to apprehend them, [[Diplomatic Security Service]] (DSS) agent Luke Hobbs offers the crew a deal; he will give them all full pardons for their crimes if they help him take down a lethally skilled mercenary organization led by a criminal mastermind and his ruthless second-in-command, Dominic's thought-dead lover Letty Ortiz.<ref name="Premise"/>

==Production==
===Development===
In February 2010, Diesel confirmed that production of ''[[Fast Five]]'' was commencing and also announced that a sixth installment was being planned.<ref name="ScreenRantSequel"/> In January 2011, producer Neal H. Moritz said more:<ref name="ColliderSequel"/>

<blockquote>In Vin and my mind we already know what the sixth movie is, we’ve already been talking about it. Vin and I have had numerous conversations about what that might be. And we’re starting to get serious about it right now. We just finished [''Fast Five''] like 4 or 5 weeks ago and we just needed a break, and now we’re gonna start focusing on that.</blockquote>

In April 2011 it was confirmed that Chris Morgan had already begun work on a script for a potential sixth film at the behest of Universal Studios.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> It was also confirmed that Universal intended to transform the series from street-racing action into a series of heist films with car chases in the vein of ''[[The Italian Job]]'' (1969) and ''[[The French Connection (film)|The French Connection]]'' (1971), with ''Fast Five'' as the transitional movie.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> Universal chairman Adam Fogelson said:<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/>

<blockquote>The question putting ''Fast Five'' and ''Fast Six'' together for us was: Can we take it out of being a pure car culture movie and into being a true action franchise in the spirit of those great heist films made 10 or 15 years ago?</blockquote>

Fogelson said that the racing aspect had put a "ceiling" on the number of people willing to see films in the series, and that, by turning it into a series where car driving ability is just one aspect of the film, he hoped to increase the series' audience.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> On Johnson's character, Fogelson added "[Johnson] also wants to appear in and be integral to the action in ''Fast Six''."<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/>

On June 24, 2011, Universal Pictures announced that the anticipated sequel is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.<ref name="FastSixEarlyDate"/> Moritz and Diesel are to return as producers and Lin returns to direct.<ref name="FastSixEarlyDate"/> In an interview with ''[[Boxoffice (magazine)|Box Office]]'', Lin revealed that he had, after discussions with Diesel, storyboarded, [[Previsualization|previsualized]] and edited a twelve-minute finale for ''Fast Six'' before filming was completed on ''Fast Five''. Lin said he shot the footage as he was unsure at the time if there would be a sequel or if he would be able to direct it, but he wanted to have input on how any sequel would end.<ref name="SequelBoxOffice"/> On October 21, 2011, the ''Los Angeles Times'' reported that Universal was considering filming two sequels—''Fast Six'' and ''Fast Seven''—[[Back to back film production|back to back]] with a single story running through both films; both written by Morgan and directed by Lin.<ref name="SequelLaTimes"/> On December 20, 2011, Diesel confirmed that ''Fast Six'' would be split into two parts, with writing for the two films occurring simultaneously. On the decision, Diesel said:<ref name="SequelDec20"/>

<blockquote>We have to pay off this story, we have to service all of these character relationships, and when we started mapping all that out it just went beyond 110 pages...The studio said, 'You can't fit all that story in one damn movie!'<ref name="SequelDec20"/></blockquote>

On April 23, 2012, it was announced that [[mixed martial arts]] fighter Gina Carano was in negotiations to play a member of Hobbs' team.<ref name="SequelApr2312"/> On May 1, 2012, Michelle Rodriguez was confirmed to be reprising her role as Letty Ortiz,<ref name="SequelMay112"/> and it was announced that Welsh actor Luke Evans had been offered a role as a villain.<ref name="SequeEvans"/> Evans was confirmed to join the cast on May 9, 2012, portraying the leader of a heist gang competing with Diesel's crew over the same heist job.<ref name="SequelMay912"/> On July 27, 2012, Joe Taslim was confirmed to star as the villain Jah.<ref name="SequelJuly2712"/> On February 15, 2012, Johnson confirmed that ''Fast Six'' would begin filming in May 2012, with some of the production to take place in the United Kingdom and Germany. Johnson stated that the two intended sequels would no longer be filmed simultaneously because of weather issues in filming locations, and that production on ''Fast Seven'' would only begin after the completion of ''Fast Six''.<ref name="SequelFeb1512"/> However, filming did not officially begin until July 30, 2012.<ref name="SequelFilming1"/> In February 2013, it was confirmed that the film would be titled ''Fast & Furious 6''.<ref name="TitleFinal"/>

===Principal photography===
Filming began on July 30, 2012, in London, England,<ref name="SequelFilming1"/><ref name="FilmingLondon"/><ref name="FilmingLondon2"/> and [[Shepperton Studios]] in Surrey, part of the [[Pinewood Studios]] group.<ref name="FilmingEngland"/> Lin was unable to obtain permission to shoot an action sequence at [[Piccadilly Circus]] involving an exploding oil tanker, and so a replica of the landmark was built at Shepperton.<ref name="FilmingEngland2"/> The London shoot including filming on [[Lambeth Bridge]].<ref name="FilmingLondonLam"/> On October 11, 2012, Walker suffered an [[anterior cruciate ligament injury]] during a stunt, requiring the production to film around his scenes until he recovered.<ref name="FilmingLon1011"/> A scene involving a plane crash began filming at [[RAF Bovingdon]], [[Hertfordshire]] on October 30, 2012 and was scheduled to conclude on November 9.<ref name="FilmingEngNov3"/> Filming for a car chase scene took place on [[Dale Street]] in [[Liverpool City Centre]], and the [[Queensway Tunnel]] in the nearby town of [[Birkenhead]] between November 12-15, 2012.<ref name="FilmLiverpool"/><ref name="FilmBirkenhead"/>

Shooting also occurred on Spain's [[Canary Islands]] including the island of [[Tenerife]]. Filming had been intended to take place in [[Marseille]], France, but was relocated to the islands to take advantage of a larger tax rebate (38%) that was estimated to lower filming costs by $20 million.<ref name="FilmingSpain"/>

Stunt and car chase scenes began filming on location in [[Glasgow]], Scotland on August 29, 2012, and were scheduled to conclude on September 16, 2012. The shoot took place entirely at night and involved approximately 250 crew, but none of the central cast. Sets were built on site for the scenes including a large car showroom.<ref name="FilmGlasgow"/><ref name="FilmGlasgow2"/> Filming was scheduled to take place at the former Royal Air Force base [[RAF Bentwaters]] in late August 2012 until early September 2012.<ref name="FilmSuff"/> Filming also took place in [[Echo Park, Los Angeles]] beginning on December 1, 2012. The shoot returned the series to the filming location of the original ''[[The Fast and the Furious (2001 film)|The Fast and the Furious]]'', and required the garage setting of that film to be rebuilt by carpenters.<ref name="FilmLA"/> By December 17, 2012, it was reported that filming had concluded.<ref name="FilmOver"/>

==Marketing==
''Fast & Furious 6'' employed social media to raise awareness. The film's first trailer was released during the 2013 [[Super Bowl XLVII|Super Bowl]] on February 3. Among the six films that launched trailers at the Super Bowl, ''Fast & Furious 6'' generated widespread attention on social media, moreso than the other five films (including ''[[Iron Man 3]]'' and ''[[Star Trek Into Darkness]]'') combined according to data collection agency Fizziology. The extended version of the trailer had been viewed over 16 million times by February 17. The trailers success was partially attributed to the film's stars promoting the trailer on their personal social networks. The ''The Fast and the Furious'' series marketing had made efforts to cultivate an online fan base which was also considered to have helped promote the film; the filmmakers responded to fan interaction, conducting an online poll to decide the title of ''Fast & Furious 6'', brought back the character of Letty Ortiz based on fan feedback and encouraged fans to document the filming process of ''Fast & Furious 6'' with unofficial photos. Universal's marketing co-president Michael Moses said: "We’re trying to remove the studio filter as much as possible, which is a little scary because you’re ceding control... But it makes for more authentic and organic interaction with fans."<ref name="Marketing"/><ref name="Marketing2"/>

'''''Fast & Furious 6''''' (alternatively known as '''''Fast Six''''') is an upcoming [[action film]] written by [[Chris Morgan (writer)|Chris Morgan]] and directed by [[Justin Lin]]. It is the sixth installment in the ''[[The Fast and the Furious (film series)|Fast and the Furious]]'' film series. [[Vin Diesel]], [[Paul Walker]], [[Dwayne Johnson]], [[Michelle Rodriguez]] and [[Jordana Brewster]] will star.

''Fast & Furious 6'' was in development by February 2010 as the first film in the series to move away from the underground car-racing theme of the series' previous films which was considered to have placed a barrier on audience numbers. Pre-production had begun by April 2011, and [[principal photography]] began in London, England in July 2012. Filming locations also include the [[Canary Islands]], Scotland, and Los Angeles. The film is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.

==Premise==
After the events of ''[[Fast Five]]'', professional criminal Dominic Toretto and his crew are wealthy, but their criminal records prevent them from returning to their home country. Following his attempts to apprehend them, [[Diplomatic Security Service]] (DSS) agent Luke Hobbs offers the crew a deal; he will give them all full pardons for their crimes if they help him take down a lethally skilled mercenary organization led by a criminal mastermind and his ruthless second-in-command, Dominic's thought-dead lover Letty Ortiz.<ref name="Premise"/>

In February 2010, Diesel confirmed that production of ''[[Fast Five]]'' was commencing and also announced that a sixth installment was being planned.<ref name="ScreenRantSequel"/> In January 2011, producer Neal H. Moritz said more:<ref name="ColliderSequel"/>

<blockquote>In Vin and my mind we already know what the sixth movie is, we’ve already been talking about it. Vin and I have had numerous conversations about what that might be. And we’re starting to get serious about it right now. We just finished [''Fast Five''] like 4 or 5 weeks ago and we just needed a break, and now we’re gonna start focusing on that.</blockquote>

In April 2011 it was confirmed that Chris Morgan had already begun work on a script for a potential sixth film at the behest of Universal Studios.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> It was also confirmed that Universal intended to transform the series from street-racing action into a series of heist films with car chases in the vein of ''[[The Italian Job]]'' (1969) and ''[[The French Connection (film)|The French Connection]]'' (1971), with ''Fast Five'' as the transitional movie.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> Universal chairman Adam Fogelson said:<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/>

<blockquote>The question putting ''Fast Five'' and ''Fast Six'' together for us was: Can we take it out of being a pure car culture movie and into being a true action franchise in the spirit of those great heist films made 10 or 15 years ago?</blockquote>

Fogelson said that the racing aspect had put a "ceiling" on the number of people willing to see films in the series, and that, by turning it into a series where car driving ability is just one aspect of the film, he hoped to increase the series' audience.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> On Johnson's character, Fogelson added "[Johnson] also wants to appear in and be integral to the action in ''Fast Six''."<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/>

On June 24, 2011, Universal Pictures announced that the anticipated sequel is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.<ref name="FastSixEarlyDate"/> Moritz and Diesel are to return as producers and Lin returns to direct.<ref name="FastSixEarlyDate"/> In an interview with ''[[Boxoffice (magazine)|Box Office]]'', Lin revealed that he had, after discussions with Diesel, storyboarded, [[Previsualization|previsualized]] and edited a twelve-minute finale for ''Fast Six'' before filming was completed on ''Fast Five''. Lin said he shot the footage as he was unsure at the time if there would be a sequel or if he would be able to direct it, but he wanted to have input on how any sequel would end.<ref name="SequelBoxOffice"/> On October 21, 2011, the ''Los Angeles Times'' reported that Universal was considering filming two sequels—''Fast Six'' and ''Fast Seven''—[[Back to back film production|back to back]] with a single story running through both films; both written by Morgan and directed by Lin.<ref name="SequelLaTimes"/> On December 20, 2011, Diesel confirmed that ''Fast Six'' would be split into two parts, with writing for the two films occurring simultaneously. On the decision, Diesel said:<ref name="SequelDec20"/>

<blockquote>We have to pay off this story, we have to service all of these character relationships, and when we started mapping all that out it just went beyond 110 pages...The studio said, 'You can't fit all that story in one damn movie!'<ref name="SequelDec20"/></blockquote>

On April 23, 2012, it was announced that [[mixed martial arts]] fighter Gina Carano was in negotiations to play a member of Hobbs' team.<ref name="SequelApr2312"/> On May 1, 2012, Michelle Rodriguez was confirmed to be reprising her role as Letty Ortiz,<ref name="SequelMay112"/> and it was announced that Welsh actor Luke Evans had been offered a role as a villain.<ref name="SequeEvans"/> Evans was confirmed to join the cast on May 9, 2012, portraying the leader of a heist gang competing with Diesel's crew over the same heist job.<ref name="SequelMay912"/> On July 27, 2012, Joe Taslim was confirmed to star as the villain Jah.<ref name="SequelJuly2712"/> On February 15, 2012, Johnson confirmed that ''Fast Six'' would begin filming in May 2012, with some of the production to take place in the United Kingdom and Germany. Johnson stated that the two intended sequels would no longer be filmed simultaneously because of weather issues in filming locations, and that production on ''Fast Seven'' would only begin after the completion of ''Fast Six''.<ref name="SequelFeb1512"/> However, filming did not officially begin until July 30, 2012.<ref name="SequelFilming1"/> In February 2013, it was confirmed that the film would be titled ''Fast & Furious 6''.<ref name="TitleFinal"/>

===Principal photography===
Filming began on July 30, 2012, in London, England,<ref name="SequelFilming1"/><ref name="FilmingLondon"/><ref name="FilmingLondon2"/> and [[Shepperton Studios]] in Surrey, part of the [[Pinewood Studios]] group.<ref name="FilmingEngland"/> Lin was unable to obtain permission to shoot an action sequence at [[Piccadilly Circus]] involving an exploding oil tanker, and so a replica of the landmark was built at Shepperton.<ref name="FilmingEngland2"/> The London shoot including filming on [[Lambeth Bridge]].<ref name="FilmingLondonLam"/> On October 11, 2012, Walker suffered an [[anterior cruciate ligament injury]] during a stunt, requiring the production to film around his scenes until he recovered.<ref name="FilmingLon1011"/> A scene involving a plane crash began filming at [[RAF Bovingdon]], [[Hertfordshire]] on October 30, 2012 and was scheduled to conclude on November 9.<ref name="FilmingEngNov3"/> Filming for a car chase scene took place on [[Dale Street]] in [[Liverpool City Centre]], and the [[Queensway Tunnel]] in the nearby town of [[Birkenhead]] between November 12-15, 2012.<ref name="FilmLiverpool"/><ref name="FilmBirkenhead"/>

Shooting also occurred on Spain's [[Canary Islands]] including the island of [[Tenerife]]. Filming had been intended to take place in [[Marseille]], France, but was relocated to the islands to take advantage of a larger tax rebate (38%) that was estimated to lower filming costs by $20 million.<ref name="FilmingSpain"/>

Stunt and car chase scenes began filming on location in [[Glasgow]], Scotland on August 29, 2012, and were scheduled to conclude on September 16, 2012. The shoot took place entirely at night and involved approximately 250 crew, but none of the central cast. Sets were built on site for the scenes including a large car showroom.<ref name="FilmGlasgow"/><ref name="FilmGlasgow2"/> Filming was scheduled to take place at the former Royal Air Force base [[RAF Bentwaters]] in late August 2012 until early September 2012.<ref name="FilmSuff"/> Filming also took place in [[Echo Park, Los Angeles]] beginning on December 1, 2012. The shoot returned the series to the filming location of the original ''[[The Fast and the Furious (2001 film)|The Fast and the Furious]]'', and required the garage setting of that film to be rebuilt by carpenters.<ref name="FilmLA"/> By December 17, 2012, it was reported that filming had concluded.<ref name="FilmOver"/>

==Marketing==
''Fast & Furious 6'' employed social media to raise awareness. The film's first trailer was released during the 2013 [[Super Bowl XLVII|Super Bowl]] on February 3. Among the six films that launched trailers at the Super Bowl, ''Fast & Furious 6'' generated widespread attention on social media, moreso than the other five films (including ''[[Iron Man 3]]'' and ''[[Star Trek Into Darkness]]'') combined according to data collection agency Fizziology. The extended version of the trailer had been viewed over 16 million times by February 17. The trailers success was partially attributed to the film's stars promoting the trailer on their personal social networks. The ''The Fast and the Furious'' series marketing had made efforts to cultivate an online fan base which was also considered to have helped promote the film; the filmmakers responded to fan interaction, conducting an online poll to decide the title of ''Fast & Furious 6'', brought back the character of Letty Ortiz based on fan feedback and encouraged fans to document the filming process of ''Fast & Furious 6'' with unofficial photos. Universal's marketing co-president Michael Moses said: "We’re trying to remove the studio filter as much as possible, which is a little scary because you’re ceding control... But it makes for more authentic and organic interaction with fans."<ref name="Marketing"/><ref name="Marketing2"/>

'''''Fast & Furious 6''''' (alternatively known as '''''Fast Six''''') is an upcoming [[action film]] written by [[Chris Morgan (writer)|Chris Morgan]] and directed by [[Justin Lin]]. It is the sixth installment in the ''[[The Fast and the Furious (film series)|Fast and the Furious]]'' film series. [[Vin Diesel]], [[Paul Walker]], [[Dwayne Johnson]], [[Michelle Rodriguez]] and [[Jordana Brewster]] will star.

''Fast & Furious 6'' was in development by February 2010 as the first film in the series to move away from the underground car-racing theme of the series' previous films which was considered to have placed a barrier on audience numbers. Pre-production had begun by April 2011, and [[principal photography]] began in London, England in July 2012. Filming locations also include the [[Canary Islands]], Scotland, and Los Angeles. The film is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.

==Premise==
After the events of ''[[Fast Five]]'', professional criminal Dominic Toretto and his crew are wealthy, but their criminal records prevent them from returning to their home country. Following his attempts to apprehend them, [[Diplomatic Security Service]] (DSS) agent Luke Hobbs offers the crew a deal; he will give them all full pardons for their crimes if they help him take down a lethally skilled mercenary organization led by a criminal mastermind and his ruthless second-in-command, Dominic's thought-dead lover Letty Ortiz.<ref name="Premise"/>

==Production==
===Development===
In February 2010, Diesel confirmed that production of ''[[Fast Five]]'' was commencing and also announced that a sixth installment was being planned.<ref name="ScreenRantSequel"/> In April 2011 it was confirmed that Chris Morgan had already begun work on a script for a potential sixth film at the behest of Universal Studios.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> It was also confirmed that Universal intended to transform the series from street-racing action into a series of heist films with car chases in the vein of ''[[The Italian Job]]'' (1969) and ''[[The French Connection (film)|The French Connection]]'' (1971), with ''Fast Five'' as the transitional movie.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> Universal chairman Adam Fogelson said:<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/>

<blockquote>The question putting ''Fast Five'' and ''Fast Six'' together for us was: Can we take it out of being a pure car culture movie and into being a true action franchise in the spirit of those great heist films made 10 or 15 years ago?</blockquote>

Fogelson said that the racing aspect had put a "ceiling" on the number of people willing to see films in the series, and that, by turning it into a series where car driving ability is just one aspect of the film, he hoped to increase the series' audience.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> On Johnson's character, Fogelson added "[Johnson] also wants to appear in and be integral to the action in ''Fast Six''."<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/>

On June 24, 2011, Universal Pictures announced that the anticipated sequel is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.<ref name="FastSixEarlyDate"/> Moritz and Diesel are to return as producers and Lin returns to direct.<ref name="FastSixEarlyDate"/> In an interview with ''[[Boxoffice (magazine)|Box Office]]'', Lin revealed that he had, after discussions with Diesel, storyboarded, [[Previsualization|previsualized]] and edited a twelve-minute finale for ''Fast Six'' before filming was completed on ''Fast Five''. Lin said he shot the footage as he was unsure at the time if there would be a sequel or if he would be able to direct it, but he wanted to have input on how any sequel would end.<ref name="SequelBoxOffice"/> On October 21, 2011, the ''Los Angeles Times'' reported that Universal was considering filming two sequels—''Fast Six'' and ''Fast Seven''—[[Back to back film production|back to back]] with a single story running through both films; both written by Morgan and directed by Lin.<ref name="SequelLaTimes"/> On December 20, 2011, Diesel confirmed that ''Fast Six'' would be split into two parts, with writing for the two films occurring simultaneously. On the decision, Diesel said:<ref name="SequelDec20"/>

<blockquote>We have to pay off this story, we have to service all of these character relationships, and when we started mapping all that out it just went beyond 110 pages...The studio said, 'You can't fit all that story in one damn movie!'<ref name="SequelDec20"/></blockquote>

On April 23, 2012, it was announced that [[mixed martial arts]] fighter Gina Carano was in negotiations to play a member of Hobbs' team.<ref name="SequelApr2312"/> On May 1, 2012, Michelle Rodriguez was confirmed to be reprising her role as Letty Ortiz,<ref name="SequelMay112"/> and it was announced that Welsh actor Luke Evans had been offered a role as a villain.<ref name="SequeEvans"/> Evans was confirmed to join the cast on May 9, 2012, portraying the leader of a heist gang competing with Diesel's crew over the same heist job.<ref name="SequelMay912"/> On July 27, 2012, Joe Taslim was confirmed to star as the villain Jah.<ref name="SequelJuly2712"/> On February 15, 2012, Johnson confirmed that ''Fast Six'' would begin filming in May 2012, with some of the production to take place in the United Kingdom and Germany. Johnson stated that the two intended sequels would no longer be filmed simultaneously because of weather issues in filming locations, and that production on ''Fast Seven'' would only begin after the completion of ''Fast Six''.<ref name="SequelFeb1512"/> However, filming did not officially begin until July 30, 2012.<ref name="SequelFilming1"/> In February 2013, it was confirmed that the film would be titled ''Fast & Furious 6''.<ref name="TitleFinal"/>

===Principal photography===
Filming began on July 30, 2012, in London, England,<ref name="SequelFilming1"/><ref name="FilmingLondon"/><ref name="FilmingLondon2"/> and [[Shepperton Studios]] in Surrey, part of the [[Pinewood Studios]] group.<ref name="FilmingEngland"/> Lin was unable to obtain permission to shoot an action sequence at [[Piccadilly Circus]] involving an exploding oil tanker, and so a replica of the landmark was built at Shepperton.<ref name="FilmingEngland2"/> The London shoot including filming on [[Lambeth Bridge]].<ref name="FilmingLondonLam"/> On October 11, 2012, Walker suffered an [[anterior cruciate ligament injury]] during a stunt, requiring the production to film around his scenes until he recovered.<ref name="FilmingLon1011"/> A scene involving a plane crash began filming at [[RAF Bovingdon]], [[Hertfordshire]] on October 30, 2012 and was scheduled to conclude on November 9.<ref name="FilmingEngNov3"/> Filming for a car chase scene took place on [[Dale Street]] in [[Liverpool City Centre]], and the [[Queensway Tunnel]] in the nearby town of [[Birkenhead]] between November 12-15, 2012.<ref name="FilmLiverpool"/><ref name="FilmBirkenhead"/>

Shooting also occurred on Spain's [[Canary Islands]] including the island of [[Tenerife]]. Filming had been intended to take place in [[Marseille]], France, but was relocated to the islands to take advantage of a larger tax rebate (38%) that was estimated to lower filming costs by $20 million.<ref name="FilmingSpain"/>

Stunt and car chase scenes began filming on location in [[Glasgow]], Scotland on August 29, 2012, and were scheduled to conclude on September 16, 2012. The shoot took place entirely at night and involved approximately 250 crew, but none of the central cast. Sets were built on site for the scenes including a large car showroom.<ref name="FilmGlasgow"/><ref name="FilmGlasgow2"/> Filming was scheduled to take place at the former Royal Air Force base [[RAF Bentwaters]] in late August 2012 until early September 2012.<ref name="FilmSuff"/> Filming also took place in [[Echo Park, Los Angeles]] beginning on December 1, 2012. The shoot returned the series to the filming location of the original ''[[The Fast and the Furious (2001 film)|The Fast and the Furious]]'', and required the garage setting of that film to be rebuilt by carpenters.<ref name="FilmLA"/> By December 17, 2012, it was reported that filming had concluded.<ref name="FilmOver"/>

'''''Fast & Furious 6''''' (alternatively known as '''''Fast Six''''') is an upcoming [[action film]] written by [[Chris Morgan (writer)|Chris Morgan]] and directed by [[Justin Lin]]. It is the sixth installment in the ''[[The Fast and the Furious (film series)|Fast and the Furious]]'' film series. [[Vin Diesel]], [[Paul Walker]], [[Dwayne Johnson]], [[Michelle Rodriguez]] and [[Jordana Brewster]] will star.

''Fast & Furious 6'' was in development by February 2010 as the first film in the series to move away from the underground car-racing theme of the series' previous films which was considered to have placed a barrier on audience numbers. Pre-production had begun by April 2011, and [[principal photography]] began in London, England in July 2012. Filming locations also include the [[Canary Islands]], Scotland, and Los Angeles. The film is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.

==Premise==
After the events of ''[[Fast Five]]'', professional criminal Dominic Toretto and his crew are wealthy, but their criminal records prevent them from returning to their home country. Following his attempts to apprehend them, [[Diplomatic Security Service]] (DSS) agent Luke Hobbs offers the crew a deal; he will give them all full pardons for their crimes if they help him take down a lethally skilled mercenary organization led by a criminal mastermind and his ruthless second-in-command, Dominic's thought-dead lover Letty Ortiz.<ref name="Premise"/>

==Production==
===Development===
In February 2010, Diesel confirmed that production of ''[[Fast Five]]'' was commencing and also announced that a sixth installment was being planned.<ref name="ScreenRantSequel"/> In April 2011 it was confirmed that Chris Morgan had already begun work on a script for a potential sixth film at the behest of Universal Studios.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> It was also confirmed that Universal intended to transform the series from street-racing action into a series of heist films with car chases in the vein of ''[[The Italian Job]]'' (1969) and ''[[The French Connection (film)|The French Connection]]'' (1971), with ''Fast Five'' as the transitional movie.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> Universal chairman Adam Fogelson said:<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/>

<blockquote>The question putting ''Fast Five'' and ''Fast Six'' together for us was: Can we take it out of being a pure car culture movie and into being a true action franchise in the spirit of those great heist films made 10 or 15 years ago?</blockquote>

Fogelson said that the racing aspect had put a "ceiling" on the number of people willing to see films in the series, and that, by turning it into a series where car driving ability is just one aspect of the film, he hoped to increase the series' audience.<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/> On Johnson's character, Fogelson added "[Johnson] also wants to appear in and be integral to the action in ''Fast Six''."<ref name="DeadlineSequel"/>

On June 24, 2011, Universal Pictures announced that the anticipated sequel is scheduled for release on May 24, 2013.<ref name="FastSixEarlyDate"/> Moritz and Diesel are to return as producers and Lin returns to direct.<ref name="FastSixEarlyDate"/> In an interview with ''[[Boxoffice (magazine)|Box Office]]'', Lin revealed that he had, after discussions with Diesel, storyboarded, [[Previsualization|previsualized]] and edited a twelve-minute finale for ''Fast Six'' before filming was completed on ''Fast Five''. Lin said he shot the footage as he was unsure at the time if there would be a sequel or if he would be able to direct it, but he wanted to have input on how any sequel would end.<ref name="SequelBoxOffice"/> On October 21, 2011, the ''Los Angeles Times'' reported that Universal was considering filming two sequels—''Fast Six'' and ''Fast Seven''—[[Back to back film production|back to back]] with a single story running through both films; both written by Morgan and directed by Lin.<ref name="SequelLaTimes"/> On December 20, 2011, Diesel confirmed that ''Fast Six'' would be split into two parts, with writing for the two films occurring simultaneously. On the decision, Diesel said:<ref name="SequelDec20"/>

<blockquote>We have to pay off this story, we have to service all of these character relationships, and when we started mapping all that out it just went beyond 110 pages...The studio said, 'You can't fit all that story in one damn movie!'<ref name="SequelDec20"/></blockquote>

On April 23, 2012, it was announced that [[mixed martial arts]] fighter Gina Carano was in negotiations to play a member of Hobbs' team.<ref name="SequelApr2312"/> On May 1, 2012, Michelle Rodriguez was confirmed to be reprising her role as Letty Ortiz,<ref name="SequelMay112"/> and it was announced that Welsh actor Luke Evans had been offered a role as a villain.<ref name="SequeEvans"/> Evans was confirmed to join the cast on May 9, 2012, portraying the leader of a heist gang competing with Diesel's crew over the same heist job.<ref name="SequelMay912"/> On July 27, 2012, Joe Taslim was confirmed to star as the villain Jah.<ref name="SequelJuly2712"/> On February 15, 2012, Johnson confirmed that ''Fast Six'' would begin filming in May 2012, with some of the production to take place in the United Kingdom and Germany. Johnson stated that the two intended sequels would no longer be filmed simultaneously because of weather issues in filming locations, and that production on ''Fast Seven'' would only begin after the completion of ''Fast Six''.<ref name="SequelFeb1512"/> However, filming did not officially begin until July 30, 2012.<ref name="SequelFilming1"/> In February 2013, it was confirmed that the film would be titled ''Fast & Furious 6''.<ref name="TitleFinal"/>

===Principal photography===
Filming began on July 30, 2012, in London, England,<ref name="SequelFilming1"/><ref name="FilmingLondon"/><ref name="FilmingLondon2"/> and [[Shepperton Studios]] in Surrey, part of the [[Pinewood Studios]] group.<ref name="FilmingEngland"/> Lin was unable to obtain permission to shoot an action sequence at [[Piccadilly Circus]] involving an exploding oil tanker, and so a replica of the landmark was built at Shepperton.<ref name="FilmingEngland2"/> The London shoot including filming on [[Lambeth Bridge]].<ref name="FilmingLondonLam"/> On October 11, 2012, Walker suffered an [[anterior cruciate ligament injury]] during a stunt, requiring the production to film around his scenes until he recovered.<ref name="FilmingLon1011"/> A scene involving a plane crash began filming at [[RAF Bovingdon]], [[Hertfordshire]] on October 30, 2012 and was scheduled to conclude on November 9.<ref name="FilmingEngNov3"/> Filming for a car chase scene took place on [[Dale Street]] in [[Liverpool City Centre]], and the [[Queensway Tunnel]] in the nearby town of [[Birkenhead]] between November 12-15, 2012.<ref name="FilmLiverpool"/><ref name="FilmBirkenhead"/>

Shooting also occurred on Spain's [[Canary Islands]] including the island of [[Tenerife]]. Filming had been intended to take place in [[Marseille]], France, but was relocated to the islands to take advantage of a larger tax rebate (38%) that was estimated to lower filming costs by $20 million.<ref name="FilmingSpain"/>

Stunt and car chase scenes began filming on location in [[Glasgow]], Scotland on August 29, 2012, and were scheduled to conclude on September 16, 2012. The shoot took place entirely at night and involved approximately 250 crew, but none of the central cast. Sets were built on site for the scenes including a large car showroom.<ref name="FilmGlasgow"/><ref name="FilmGlasgow2"/> Filming was scheduled to take place at the former Royal Air Force base [[RAF Bentwaters]] in late August 2012 until early September 2012.<ref name="FilmSuff"/> Filming also took place in [[Echo Park, Los Angeles]] beginning on December 1, 2012. The shoot returned the series to the filming location of the original ''[[The Fast and the Furious (2001 film)|The Fast and the Furious]]'', and required the garage setting of that film to be rebuilt by carpenters.<ref name="FilmLA"/> By December 17, 2012, it was reported that filming had concluded.<ref name="FilmOver"/>
