During a long rant on how studious don't formulate new properties Deadline's Mike Fleming let slip that Denzel Washington had been approached for a "small role" which he turned down. But hey, they still have Jason Statham! The seventh installment of the Fast and Furious Series will be directed by "The Conjuring" director, James Wan and will bring back actors Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Dwayne Johnson with Jason Statham as Shaw's brother. I wonder if they just did that so they could still call him Shaw. That's a catchy villain name. Anyway what do you think about this bit of news? Make sure to leave a comment and click the thumbs up!
