   The Fast and Furious franchise has room for prequels. First one is set during prohibition and the protagonists are rum runners. Call it Fast: 1921, have lots of flapper girls, etc
   
   Next, go all the way back to the first racing automobiles. Call it Fast 1.
   
   That'll be a million dollars, Hollywood.

     @Godcast If they wanna go real nuts they could make one set in Ancient Rome where the cast races chariots around the Circus Maximus. We could call it Fast Anno Domini

     @Godcast lol we could turn this into a meme - the Fast and the Furious set in different time periods. Like imagine a Fast film set in shogunate Japan, where Vin Diesel has to outrun some nasty daimyos.
     
     The tagline would be “it’s all about Famiry” 😂

     @DW2 There's so much dumb shit they could do, and it would probably at least break even. Put Vin Diesel in a loin cloth and have him race wooly mammoths. "Me live life one quarter bunga at a time."

     @DW2 @Godcast >We see a large crowd of people gathered around the arena, cheering and clapping in anticipation. The camera pans to the center of the arena where the chariots line up, ready to race.
     
     >We see Idris Elba as JULIUS CAESAR, standing in front of the chariots. He is wearing a magnificent golden robe and a crown of laurel leaves.
     
     >JULIUS CAESAR
     >(addressing the crowd)
     >Today, I have commissioned an empire-wide chariot race! The winner of this race will receive not only citizenship, but a fat purse of coins as well!
     
     >The crowd cheers in excitement.
     
     >We see VIN DIESEL as one of the racers, dressed in a leather outfit and wearing a helmet.
     
     >VIN DIESEL
     >(smiling confidently)
     >I'm gonna win this race!
     
     >The crowd laughs and cheers.
     
     >JULIUS CAESAR
     >(raising his arm)
     >Let the race begin!
     
     >The sound of horse hooves fades in with upbeat bass growing louder until we hear a loud *BOOM* in tandem with the landing of the word "Fast" and a cloud of dust from a running chariot with the word "furiøvs" painted in blood red on the back. The cloud of dust from the horses settles into the words "Anno Domini" as the fading horse hooves blend into a melodic upbeat music and the scene cuts to a Roman nightclub.
