More cars in Paul Walker's future, will produce and star in Vehicle 19

Well, I guess being the "car guy" is better than being the "snow dogs guy". Fortunately for Paul Walker he's a fixture in The Fast and the Furious flicks and not just remembered for Eight Below. Walker isn't jumping far from the automotive world, as THR reports that he's signed on to exec-produce and star in Vehicle 19, to be written and directed by Mukunda Michael Dewell. Dewell is a South African filmmaker with an extremely limited resume, having only directed a film titled Retribution which I've never heard of.

Walker will star as "an unsuspecting traveler in a foreign country who picks up the wrong rental car and becomes tangled in a web of corruption by the local police."  Filming is set to begin later this summer in South Africa.  Walker will be seen next in Fast Five, racing into theaters on April 29th.
