While preparing for the release of the first trailer forFast X, Universal Pictures is releasing “legacy” trailers for all of the previous films inFast and The Furiousfranchise. These trailers re-imagine the promotional materials for the movies as if they were made in the present day. Today, it wasThe Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift’s turn to get the treatment, showing a short ad where Sean (Lucas Boswell) and Han (Sung Kang) decide to solve their problems with the only possible solution in their world: street racing.
InThe Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, Sean (Boswell) is sent to live to Japan with his father (Brian Goodman) to avoid the police after he was involved in a car crash related to his passion for racing. While in Japan, Sean becomes an enemy of Takashi (Brian Tee), the “Drift King” of the city who also has ties to the Yakuza crime syndicate. By partnering up with Han (Kang), Sean must find a way to defeat Takashi by driving irresponsibly fast. This markedJustin Lin’s first time as a director for the series, before going on to helm other four entries in the franchise.
