Jordana Brewster to Star in The Fast and the Furious 4

Jordana BrewsterJordana Brewster is in talks to reprise her role as Mia in The Fast and the Furious 4.

What, did you think three versions of this film were enough?!?

The character of Mia would be the third cast member from Rob Cohen’s original to join the cast of the Justin Lin-directed sequel.

According sources, when the film begins, Brian (Paul Walker) has been doing time - after authorities discovered the truth about Brian’s role in Dominic’s disappearance.

But Brian makes a deal with those in charge. He’ll help stop a crime boss known as Braga, whose importing heroin, if they agree to free him.

With the assistance of an informant named James Park, Brian wins a spot on a street race that involves Braga’s number-one man, Jorge Campos.

He makes friends with Campos (and, therefore, Braga); wins a spot on his team (importing heroin) and gets Dominic a gig, as well. Got all that?

The Fast and the Furious 4 hits theatres on June 5, 2009.
