2 Fast 2 Furious is a 2003 action film directed by John Singleton and
written by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas. A standalone sequel to The
Fast and the Furious (2001), it is the second installment in the Fast
& Furious franchise and stars Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson, Eva Mendes,
Cole Hauser, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, and James Remar. 2 Fast 2
Furious follows Brian O'Conner (Walker) and Roman Pearce (Gibson) who
go undercover for the U.S. Customs Service to apprehend drug lord
Carter Verone (Hauser) in exchange for the erasure of their criminal
records.Plans for a sequel to The Fast and the Furious were developed
immediately following that film's box office success. Early treatments
for a sequel initially featured the returns of both Vin Diesel and
Walker; the former declined, instead choosing to star in The
Chronicles of Riddick (2004). As a result, Universal Studios delayed
the start of filming to allow for script rewrites, which subsequently
allowed for the franchise's long-running characters of Roman Pearce
and Tej Parker to be introduced.In August 2002, John Singleton, who
critically praised the first film, was announced to direct the second
in place of Rob Cohen, who left the franchise after directing the
previous installment. Principal photography began in Miami in October
2002, with the majority of filming being done on location in Miami and
South Florida.
