make up the funniest rivalry in B-list actor beefs. Here are a few excerpts from a NY Times article about the new “Fast & Furious” movie:

Offered a co-starring role in “2 Fast 2 Furious,” Mr. Diesel turned the project down. “I guess I’m of the old mind-set that sequels should be more a continuation of a story than a rehash of a story,” he said.

Mr. Walker had a different recollection of Mr. Diesel’s departure. “They just couldn’t make the deal with Vin,” he said. “It was my understanding he wanted to come back but wanted half the studio.

Another good one:

There is now some good will going around the franchise, and the conclusion of “Fast & Furious” strongly implies that a fifth movie is planned. But true to form Mr. Walker and Mr. Diesel could not quite come to a consensus about teaming up ona new film.

“They’re already talking that we’re going to make a fifth one in Europe,” Mr. Walker said. He added, “I’m sure Vin’s going to be busy.”

Mr. Diesel did not disappoint. “You know my process is script first,” he said.
