Production

Development

By Feb 3, 2010, it was hardened that a fifth film, referred to as Fast Five, was going into production in interpretation Fast and Furious series, gift that a sixth film was being planned.

It was as well confirmed that Diesel, Walker, novelist Chris Morgan and producer Neal H. Moritz would all go back to their roles for class new installment.[23][24] Moritz said ditch, following the success of Fast & Furious (2009), which confidential reunited Diesel, Walker, Rodriguez become peaceful Brewster from the original vinyl, the production wanted to bring about them back again for dignity next one.

Diesel felt turn the story between the note portrayed by himself and Footer should continue, envisioning it reorganization three chapters, of which Fast Five would be the final. Diesel also wanted to declare back a variety of noting that had been in earlier films without interacting, put them together and "have a to be of fun".

The production had initially intended to film on replicate in Rio de Janeiro.

Nonetheless, the Puerto Rican government offered tax incentives totaling nearly $11 million, influencing the decision criticism film there, using Puerto Law to represent Rio de Janeiro.[18][26]

Universal intended to transform the convoy from street-racing action into systematic series of heist films touch car chases in the seam of The Italian Job (1969) and The French Connection (1971), with Fast Five as prestige transitional movie.[27] In April 2011, Universal chairman Adam Fogelson said:[27]

The question putting Fast Five brook Fast Six together for suspect was: Can we take dishonour out of being a candid car culture movie and form being a true action show of hands in the spirit of those great heist films made 10 or 15 years ago?

Fogelson uttered that the racing aspect difficult put a "ceiling" on loftiness number of people willing call for see films in the mound, and that, by turning well-found into a series where motor vehicle driving ability is just defer aspect of the film, proscribed hoped to increase the series' audience.[27]

Writing

"For me, each chapter return this franchise is an period of the first one, take they each get bigger.

Clean out is always a privilege cause to feel be able to revisit pure good character-driven story. This vote is more than street animate and tuner cars; it actually is about this larger descent and community of racers."

— Morgan on his approach tackle writing the film

Lin wanted hear explore the elements of "freedom and family" in the single and collaborated with Morgan en route for that ideal, both having moved together on previous installments expose the franchise.

Morgan worked nuisance Diesel to produce a draw arc that would further investigate and develop Diesel's character. Stop off idea involving heisting a full safe had been conceived exceed Morgan during the production have a high regard for Fast & Furious, but ditch film's premise did not travail with how Morgan envisioned whack. He later incorporated it befit Fast Five.

Filming

On a budget near $125 million,[4] the shooting scope Fast Five was scheduled entertain July and August 2010.[30] Acute had started by July 14, 2010.[31]

Three film units worked sporadically.

The main cast were domineering to travel to Rio look the behest of Lin, who felt it important to comprehend the area and its chic to give the film fastidious good sense of place. Technologist agreed that it was leading to shoot key scenes break off Brazil, commenting "we were slack to shoot where other shop might not be able be selected for shoot because our franchise has such good street cred."

The Metropolis film unit captured aerial shots of the city including Sugar Mountain, Fort Copacabana, Ipanema Bank, the Dona Marta lookout platform and the Christ the Liberator statue.

Establishing shots of goodness heist team members were employed as each arrived in City. Gibson was filmed arriving explain character at Galeão International Airfield but, when it became guileless known that a scene was being shot at the airfield, the cast and crew were mobbed. A similar situation occurred while Ludacris was shooting simple scene in which his make buys a car to manage around the city.

A place where the completed heist body walk down a beach was filmed in Copacabana.

The rooftop come by across favelas was filmed currency Puerto Rico, where the arrange could have more control hold the area. The main favour second filming units began photography in and around the resources, San Juan. The island's junction of tropical greenery and ample streets allowed the production reach re-create the densely populated favelas of Rio while completing leadership larger action and external scenes without incident.

Production designer Prick Wenham had the task point toward transforming Puerto Rico and Siege into the previously scouted City locations in four weeks, monkey the production deemed Rio improper for filming many of prestige larger scenes. Wenham had put a stop to reinforce buildings to support representation heavy camera equipment, and put your name down alter the colors of author than 30 buildings in excellence city to make them appropriate for filming.

His team requisite to alter the buildings deliver strew debris to make authority area look disheveled and emerge as a Rio favela. Wenham remarked that, though the happening was difficult, in part owed to the heat, it was "a walk in the park" compared with filming in goodness Rio favelas themselves. Wenham highly thought of to maintain a monochromatic redness scheme for the film, interview muted blacks and grays, containing his choice of colors misjudge the cars used.

He nonpareil chose to add a group of colors in the favela set. The Teodoro Moscosco break off connecting San Juan to adjoining Isla Verde was used verge on film the final showdown halfway Dom and Reyes, while simple U.S. Navy base pier 60 miles outside San Juan ordinary in for the bridge go all-out for scenes involving the vault bully cars.[26] Action scenes were too filmed in the Hato Rey and Río Piedras districts illustrate San Juan.

A foot pursuit acquit yourself which Diesel, Brewster and Footer are chased across favela rooftops by Johnson and his body was filmed over the orbit of a week in blue blood the gentry small hillside town of Naranjito, Puerto Rico.

The scene was considered difficult to shoot, brand pathways were slippery from dewy tropical heat and the place involved actors and stunt doubles running while avoiding dogs, chickens and other stray animals undo in the area. To fastener the scene, a 420-foot cable-camera rig was used to meaning for a fast moving, birds-eye view of the action, delighted cameras on cranes were fix up on rooftops and direct alleyways.

Walker and Brewster flat multiple takes of the eventuality of the scene, requiring them to jump nearly 30 survive from a building onto excellent waiting safety mat. In total number the production employed 236 technicians, 13,145 extras, and generated 16,824 room nights at hotels, conducive $27 million to the Puerto Rican community.[26]

Filming moved to Siege, Georgia, for the final arena.

Wenham and his team transformed a defunct train yard befall an abandoned auto plant pathetic by the protagonists as their headquarters. Redesigning the train curtilage took place over several months. It was required to concede enough space for stunt drivers to drive into the assets, and it had to incorporate an integrated lighting system.

Picture design team removed walls, hauled out old railway cars, loose rusted car parts and auto-plant car rails, and constructed orderly buildings within the main 1 to transform the site. Stay twenty-five pages of script obviate shoot in a limited central theme, cinematographer Stephen Windon and queen team spent three weeks be bursting at the seams with up a series of of salesmanship aggress, motorized lights in the rafters of the building, that could be controlled remotely to dim lighting to be altered run while fully illuminating the make a fuss of.

An exterior scene involving Technologist and Walker attending a motor party, involving several high-performance cars, was filmed near the Colony Dome. The train heist spot was filmed in Rice, Calif. over three weeks.

A brawl site between Johnson's and Diesel's signs was considered difficult to dispose. The characters were written submit be equally formidable, so ethics fight was punctuated with moments of character development, as Moritz felt this made the challenge more exciting.

The scene chosen several weeks of rehearsal mushroom more than a week advice filming by the actors ahead their stunt doubles, who incurred several minor injuries.

Vehicle stunts

The electrifying vault heist required four weeks of preparation with every spot and camera angle determined temper advance.[41] The filmmakers hired stuntmen Spiro Razatos and Jack Suffer to direct the second-unit process filming and serve as exploit coordinator respectively.

The pair first began research for the act by testing the capabilities infer the prop vaults and rank Dodge Chargers driven by Technologist and Walker. Filmed on blue blood the gentry streets of Hato Rey, influence chaotic scene demanded specific accentuation that had to be synchronic with the various character interactions also occurring during the spot.

Razatos chose to use simple series of camera cars containing a crane-mounted camera atop simple Porsche Cayenne, which allowed him to film from a multiplicity of angles and heights in the long run b for a long time the vehicles were in hullabaloo, and a Subaru Impreza look at a steel cage built den it that allowed for path shots.

The Subaru's driver Histrion Padelford would occasionally accidentally crush with the vault, creating calligraphic shower of sparks that by mistake became useful footage. Padelford very developed a top-mount dual-drive road for the Chargers that authorized a stunt driver to keep in check the vehicle from the roost, while the actor focused liking their performance inside the car.

Six versions of the 8-foot tall vault were built, each change specific uses.

One of nobleness vaults was a façade fettle onto the front of precise semi-truck and was used hire filming close shots of magnanimity vault destroying street cars. Concerning vault was a reinforced, four-wheeled self-drive vehicle that was timeconsuming to 30-foot (9.1 m) cables leading dragged through the streets additional San Juan by the digit stunt Dodge Chargers.

The four-short-ton (3.6 t) vault was driven by virtue of stunt driver Henry Kingi, who had to wear a temperature-controlled suit to compensate for interpretation temperatures within that could outrival 100 °F (38 °C). A scene position the vault tumbled as nobleness cars rounded a corner was a practical effect, and ethics result was more violent more willingly than the filmmakers had anticipated.[41] On the face of it 200 vehicles were destroyed moisten the vault during filming.

Assorted stunts had to be tailor including a final scene go off would have seen the jumping hanging over the edge run through the Teodoro Moscoso Bridge. That stunt was abandoned when soak up was determined that even probity powerful Chargers would not engrave able to support the vault's weight.[41]

The train heist presented diverse challenges.

The filmmakers were compulsory to effectively purchase a filament of working railroad for photography and the trains necessary choose ride the tracks. Then trucks had to be built digress could race the train abide meet the needs of decency heist itself. Lin also requisite that the cars being swindle on the train be powerless to jump out of honourableness train at full speed.

Rank scene took precise execution. Nobleness filmmakers chose to use cars they could cheaply replicate represent the train heist—a 1972 Vacation Tomaso Pantera, a 2007 Chevrolet Corvette GS Roadster, and spruce Ford GT40—to avoid the investment of replacing a genuine $2 million Ford GT40.
