6 d. ago Back from the dead: can the new Fast and Furious movie really ‘reunite’ Vin Diesel and Paul Walker?

Vin Diesel says ‘reuniting Dom and Brian O’Conner’ was a condition for agreeing to a Furious finale, which will no doubt require a CGI resurrectionIf you’re a fan of the Fast and Furious franchise – and you’re only human, so of course you are – then you’ll know that Fast X ended on one of the most operatically daft cliffhangers of all time. In short, Ludacris and Tyrese Gibson are apparently dead, having been shot out of the sky by a double agent. Vin Diesel seems certain to die, having ended the film at the bottom of a dam that Jason Momoa just exploded. And Gal Gadot is back.

More than 500 have died around the centres since the system was introduced – yet, with attention fixed on Israel’s attacks on Iran, there has been little to spare for recent deaths.The Israeli military has given shifting accounts of events. But soldiers told the newspaper Haaretz that commanders ordered troops to shoot at crowds that posed no threat. The Israel...
