I have to wonder if the strong possibility that California will de facto shut down movie theaters has something to do with the spurge of decisions to postpone. Being California based, that would really hit home with Studio execs.

Slow and Furious: Inside Vin Diesel’s Long Battle For Street Cred at the Producers Guild

https://variety.com/2020/film/news/vin-diesel-producer-credit-fast-furious-franchise-1234593277/

...

The struggle boils down to Diesel’s desire for the Producers Guild of America’s mark of distinction, an addendum to a film credit that signifies to the industry and audiences that a producer has been verified as a substantial contributor in the making of a movie.

 

Diesel has attempted to receive the mark for nearly every film in the “Fast” series, sources said, which have grossed over $5.9 billion worldwide to date. He has consistently been denied and sought appeals, which have turned ugly. In his Sunday post, Diesel called the group “the prejudice guild of America.”

 

But the idea that Diesel is active in the daily slog that gets the movies made — films where Mustangs drop out of aircraft carriers and land safely on mountaintops — is dubious to people involved in these projects. Diesel “leans in” to behavior typical of star talent, despite being listed on call sheets as a producer, said two sources familiar with numerous “Fast” productions. That behavior includes arriving hours late on pricey stunt days, said one source, behavior that costs time and swells budgets — two of any producer’s biggest obstacles.

Diesel has had many powerful friends appeal directly to the PGA and its executive director Vance Van Petten, said three insiders familiar with the calls, including Meyer.


I hope one of his powerful friends was Tyrese.

Shouldn’t they save going into space for the 10th and (allegedly) final movie? Unless they plan on going even crazier with the 10th one, and go with time traveling alien dinosaurs or something...

beat Avengers in F10.
