Warner Brothers has been great . I sense like it ’s been very precious . Everybody at the studio ’s been calling , ‘ allow ’s go , permit ’s go ’ and I ’m like [ it ’s ] not correctly yet . To me , the challenge is we have actor who are also professional athletes , so docket is something that is knotty . I ’ve been really want to push that music genre , but to do that you need the right amount of time . So there ’s a logistical challenge but also creatively , to do a subsequence 20 years later with a new cast and also to be able-bodied to , in a relevant way , bring the Looney Tunes back . That ’s very authoritative to me to do it right . I sense I ’ve done nine different iterations already and we ’re fail to keep going , but we ’re getting nigher every twenty-four hour period .

For me , Fast and Furious is not just a car motion-picture show either . I have an eight - class - erstwhile who plays with Hot Wheels all the meter . To me , it ’s amazing [ to see ] the therapeutic and healing belongings of imagination .
