If I could have put money on this I would have. The eighth movie in the lucrative FAST AND THE FURIOUS series will be released around the planet in April, 2017. The film’s star and producer Vin Diesel announced the news at the CinemaCon event in Las Vegas just yesterday.
The news comes as FAST AND THE FURIOUS 7, or FURIOUS 7 as it is known in its domestic territory, became the seventh highest grossing film of all time, with a massive $1.15 billion in ticket receipts since its release just two and a bit weeks ago.
The official release date for FAST 8/ FURIOUS 8 will be April 14th, 2017. We’d expect shooting to commence later this year/ early next. Besides Diesel, no cast or director have yet been announced.
