There's some sequel news today to be excited about. The first should appeal to the ever-growing audience of people who love themselves some religious conspiracy.

The story brings Hanks' Robert Langdon back to the United States, to Washington, D.C., where he attempts to unravel a mystery involving the Freemasons. The studio has confirmed "Eastern Promises" writer Steven Knight for the script, though no deal is yet in place for Hanks.

Do you know what the best thing about the "Fast and the Furious" franchise is? The racing, which we showed you yesterday, but also the fact that when the cast show up for the movie premieres, they genuinely look like they're having a good time. They look like friends, and it makes me want to see their movies.
Last night's "Fast & Furious" premiere, the forth in the series, was no different.
The speedsters hung out, joked around, posed for photos and signed autographs for their loyal fans. It makes me speculate that they may even hang out when they're not getting paid to! And everyone looked great! No fashion faux pas from the principle cast. Jordana Brewster wore a very feminine light pink, Grecian-looking dress that fit perfectly. Michelle Rodriguez's form-fitting black lacy number was a bit risqué, with its nude undertones, but really showed off what great shape she is in.

The "Fast and the Furious" franchise has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. Mindless action, hot women and the most important ingrediant of all: some downright jaw-dropping driving sequences. The two sequels that followed managed to find modest success at the box office, but even still, nothing managed to reach the high-adreneline flavor of the original. Now, things have changed...
"Fast & Furious" -- out April 3 -- reunites Vin Diesel and Paul Walker as reluctant teammates out to bust open a criminal cartel. But the story itself doesn't matter as much as the street racing, and thankfully this fourth film pushes things to the next level. You can get a sense of that in our exclusive clip below, and then stay tuned to MTV.com for even more coverage.
Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker have reunited for "Fast & Furious," the latest installment of the street-racing "Fast and the Furious" franchise.
Joining the pair will be Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster, all of whom you can see on the exclusive teaser poster after the jump. "Fast & Furious" parks in theaters April 3, 2009. Read more...
