Kurt Russell Joins 'Fast & Furious 7' Cast

I didn't think I could possibly be more excited for Fast & Furious 7. The last installment in the long-running cars 'n' 'splosions series was so good, I left the theater and went straight to a Blockbuster (such was my commitment), rented 1-5 and marathoned through it in a night. Not even the slightest bit joking. I was going to be first in line for the next film, regardless. But now that I know Kurt Russell (aka Snake Plissken, aka R.J. MacReady, aka Copper, aka Kurt MotherF**king Russell) has been added to the cast, I may have to steal a reel as it's being shipped and screen it at my house.

Filming for Fast 7 began earlier this week and director James Wan confirmed that Russell will be involved in the film with a tweet.

Directing a living legend today. #KurtRussell

This is quite possibly the only news that can get me more excited for Fast 7 than this. SPOILERS, for real.
