Yes , Justin Lin also directed this year ’s Star Trek Beyond . However , I think it ’s safe to say that when Legendary Films was looking for some to make a picture based on Mattel ’s lilliputian alloy racing motorcar toys , they might have see back a footling bit further in his resume .
FromThe Hollywood Reporter(warning : racing puns burst ):
Lin ’s boarding injects some azotic oxide into the project ; Lin , his married person Troy Craig Poon , and Legendary will begin a search for a author to take Hot Wheels back to the starting line . The labor is in the other development leg and will not be Lin ’s next movie .
Hot Wheels is one of the world ’s big toy brands , with Mattel claiming that it is the best - trade toy in the world , with more than 5 billion miniature elevator car produced since 1968 . Mattel make nine million cars every week and sells 10 every s .
well - merchandising or not , that ’s a luck of toy dog cars over the last half - century . Which means if Lin can bestow over even a fraction of his riotous and/or furious magic to the film — he directed the third through sixth films in the F&F franchise , turn it into one of the highest - gross picture dimension in universe — he’ll be creating not just a mega - strike , but a serial with the potential to appeal to young kids middling much evermore . give that the Fast and the enraged moving-picture show have always been basically Hot Wheels movies anyway , I think he ’s probably got this one in the bag .
