New AI-generated art reimagines the Fast & Furious franchise as a western, replacing cars with horses. The appeal of the Fast & Furious cast remains a key element of the series, and it’s entirely possible that these characters will continue to be just as appealing in a Western setting. Horse racing and train robbery could have replaced car racing in the early films, offering the same tension and plenty of opportunity for action scenes.
New AI-generated art turns the Fast & Furious franchise into a classic western, where Vin Diesel mistakes his car for a trusty steed. Since debuting in 2001, the Fast & Furious franchise has become one of the most successful action movie franchises of all time. Diesel plays Dominic Toretto in the film franchise, recently returning in Fast and Furious X, with at least two more confirmed sequels on the way.
The new AI-generated art shared on Instagram by AI Dreams fully depicts the Fast & Furious franchise by taking the action to the Old West.
Apart from some movie posters, the AI ​​generated images include reimagined cowboy versions of Paul Walker as Brian O’Conner, Michelle Rodriguez as Letty, Dwayne Johnson as Hobbs, and Sung Kang as Khan.
At first glance, Western-style Fast & Furious is a terrible idea. The entire series was built around auto racing, and while the action became more outlandish as the films progressed, cars are still central to its identity. However, on a very broad level, it’s not unreasonable to assume that The Fast and the Furious could actually work if cars were replaced with horses and the modern setting was replaced with the Old West.
Aside from the absurd car stunts, one of the show’s main attractions is the Fast and Furious cast. Characters such as Dom, Letty, Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Ludacris), Brian, Han and Mia (Jordana Brewster) remain key elements of each film, as do new characters such as Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel), Hobbs and Shaw (Jason Statham). ). By placing these actors in an Old West setting, their characters could remain largely unchanged and just as interesting. Hobbs, in particular, would fit in well with this setting because he’s pretty much already a western sheriff armed with guns.
Horse racing may also take the place of auto racing in early films, with similar tension and developments. As one of the AI-generated posters suggests, the train robbery could make for a great thrilling Fast & Furious West scene where Dom and the gang use their horses to pull off the heist as well as take on rival criminal outlaws. However, The Fast and the Furious seems to remain firmly anchored in the present, meaning the aforementioned AI art is the closest the series has ever become to a western.
