Latest news about 'Fast 8'

It’s now official that there will be another Fast & Furious trilogy, the Fast 8 and if the previous movies are anything to go by, the next movie will indeed be a box office record breaker. The success of the Fast and Furious movie franchise can be attributed to among other things the casting of the movie which can only be described as intelligent casting. From the original 2001 movie that featured Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster and Ted Levine to the 2015 installment that saw the addition of Jason Statham, Tyrese Gibson and Dwayne Johnson, the movie has maintained its knack for high level action oriented stars whose reputation resonates with the theme of the movie.

A lot is not known about the confirmed cast members of the 2017 installment but rumor has it that the movie will maintain most of its original and 2015 cast members. Of course, the absence of Paul Walker from the Fast 8 might indeed be one of the most notable aspects with respect to the 2017 movie and probably, this might be a downer for some of the hard core F& F fans. Be that as it may, this might be an opportunity in disguise especially on the part of the directors. Anybody who has ever watched any of the previously released Fast and Furious movies will indeed concur that the plot of all the movies has tended to revolve around the events in Paul Walker’s character. This time round, the directors might be forced to adopt a rather unprecedented approach and focus on an entirely different plot line. On the other hand, they might opt to integrate Mr. Walkers’ story into the movie and depending on how the spin it, it might prove to be a great watch.

For the most ardent Fast and Furious fans, there is indeed great news for you. Reliable sources indicate that in addition to the Fast 8, plans are underway for the Fast 9 and Fast 10 which will carry on the story-line of the Fast 8. Precisely, Vin Diesel, who is increasingly becoming the most reliable source of information regarding the franchise, has announced on his Instagram page that existence of three more F&F movies and these are Fast 9, Fast 10 and Fast and Furious Final Trilogy that is set to close the movies chapter will probable spin more than two decades. This implies that the world will indeed be treated to a couple more years of the car-centric adrenaline rush movie which will probably culminate with the 2019 or 2020.

Fast & Furious 7 Cast

One of the most notable motivations for the release of Furious 8 can be attributed to the success of the 2015 movie, Furious 7. Furious 7 is indeed one of the most successful movies ever made grossing over a billion dollars in the Box Office. Perhaps the producers and the directors of the movie are indeed hoping to cash in on this success and depending on how they choose to spin it, a story-line in the lines of Paul Walkers’ demise might make the Fast 8 even more successful than the previous movie. All in all, the Fast 8 is definitely one of the movies that millions of people around the world will be looking forward to.
