'''''2 Fast 2 Furious''''' <!-- This film has never been officially called "Fast & Furious 2". Do not add fan fiction. --> is a 2003 [[action film]] directed by [[John Singleton]] from a screenplay by [[Michael Brandt]] and [[Derek Haas]], based on a story by Brandt, Haas, and [[Gary Scott Thompson]]. It is the sequel to ''[[The Fast and the Furious (2001 film)|The Fast and the Furious]]'' (2001) and the second installment in the ''[[Fast & Furious]]'' franchise. The film stars [[Paul Walker]] as [[Brian O'Conner]] alongside [[Tyrese Gibson]], [[Eva Mendes]], [[Cole Hauser]], [[Ludacris|Chris "Ludacris" Bridges]], and [[James Remar]]. The plot follows ex-[[LAPD]] officer Brian O'Conner and his ex-con friend [[List of Fast & Furious characters#Roman Pearce|Roman Pearce]], who transport a shipment of "[[dirty money]]" for shady [[Miami]]-based import-export dealer Carter Verone while secretly working with undercover agent Monica Fuentes to bring Verone down.

A second ''Fast & Furious'' film was planned after the box office success of its predecessor in 2001, and was confirmed with the returns of Walker and producer [[Neal H. Moritz]]. [[Vin Diesel]] and [[Rob Cohen]], the co-star and director of the first film, were unable to return; Gibson and Singleton joined the cast in their absence in 2002. To [[Canon (fiction)|canonically]] account for Diesel's departure, the short film ''[[The Turbo Charged Prelude for 2 Fast 2 Furious]]'' (2003) was produced and released. [[Principal photography]] for ''2 Fast 2 Furious'' commenced in September 2002 and lasted until that December, with filming locations including [[Miami]] and the surrounding areas in southern [[Florida]].<ref name="furiousmind"/><ref name="ESPN">{{cite news |last=Golianopoulos |first=Thomas |title=John Singleton Reveals How Ja Rule Blew His Chance to Be in ''2 Fast 2 Furious'' |url=http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/john-singleton-reveals-how-ja-rule-blew-his-chance-to-be-in-2-fast-2-furious/ |access-date=July 21, 2017 |work=[[Grantland]] |publisher=ESPN |date=April 3, 2015|archive-date=July 29, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170729134249/http://grantland.com/hollywood-prospectus/john-singleton-reveals-how-ja-rule-blew-his-chance-to-be-in-2-fast-2-furious/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
