ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What can we expect from the extended director’sedition that wasn’t in the theatrical release?

We put extra sequences in the movie.

We extended some of your favorite sequences.

That’s number one.

And so there’s more humor in the extended version ofThe Fate of the Furious.

And there’s some cool character stuff.

I got a chance to let a few moments breathe between Charlize and Vin.

I think it’s almost 13 or 14 minutes longer, and that’s an eternity in film.

you might do a scene in half a minute.

We’re running a behind-the-scenes clip of that great moment with the cars flying out of the parking garage.

Can you talk about what it felt like being on set that day?

I’ve been surrounded by mad scientists.

My second-unit director Spiro Razatos, he’s dope.

My special effects guys, J. D. Schwalm, they’re amazing.

I gotta give a lot of credit to those guys.

We dream this stuff up.

They go out there and they make it happen.

On the day, when you shoot something like that, you turn into a kid, you know?

I used to play with LEGOs and Hot Wheels when I was a kid.

Especially because you’re not doing it digital.

By take three, you’ve already destroyed 50 cars!

It almost felt like you’re being transported back to the 1950s.

I really loved having the opportunity.

Now the law’s changed, I don’t even think we could shoot out there anymore!

I don’t want to be misquoted, but I think that our current administrationrolled back all those rules.

You got in there just in time!

There was this window of time where the Obama administration allowed Americans to go in.

I just feel really, really lucky, and very fortunate that they allowed us to do that.

Now it feels like it’s not possible again.

I hope that changes.

I have nothing but love for Michelle.

That is something I imagine she’s addressing with the powers that be.

I hope it all really works out for her.

I can only speak for one film.

I’ve only directed one film.

Do you have your next project lined up?

I don’t know what the next film is, specifically.

I have had an amazing run.

I feel extremely fortunate thatComptonperformed and was well-received.

Really happy we experienced the same forFate of the Furious.

That just blew my mind, just completely blew my mind.

you’re free to imagine, afterCompton, afterFate, then Hollywood Walk of Fame?

I’m on Cloud Nine right now.

I’m almost afraid to wake up.

Would you do anotherFuriousfilm?

Who knows what the future holds?

You never say never.
