It has certainly been a busy week for discussions about the movie FAST 8 with cast member Dwayne Johnson sharing his thoughts about some cast members, but now there is some lighter-hearted news in the form of the production team announcement that their #FastFriday posts have ended and that we’ll get the first trailer in December. Along with their post, which was added onto the movie’s Facebook page, was a cast members photo, which you can see above.
In the director’s chair for this one is STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON helmer F. Gary Gray and his new movie, FAST 8 is planned to launch a new trilogy of films when it arrives in cinemas on April 14th, 2017. The ninth film in the franchise lands April 19th, 2019 and a tenth film is scheduled for release on April 2nd, 2021.
Take a look at the Fast family’s Facebook post below:
For our final #FastFridays post, all of us in the Fast Family wanted to thank you for coming on the ride with us during this epic production.
We began in Cuba, visited Iceland, New York and Atlanta, and as we head into our final few days of shooting, we wanted to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to those who have worked so hard over the past 100 days to bring you a movie that is going to be another incredible installment of our saga. Everything we do comes from our shared passion to bring you the very best.
Thank you Vin, who has been at the wheel since this journey began, first as star and then as producer…
And thanks to all of the cast of the eighth Fast:
Michelle, who’s also been with us from the start…
Those who’ve joined our family along the way: Tyrese and Chris from Miami in our second film; Dwayne and Elsa, who came on board in Rio in movie five; Jason, Nathalie and Kurt from last time around; and our newest members Charlize, Scott, Kristofer and Helen…
And our brother who continues to inspire us all, Paul.
We extend our gratitude to our new director F. Gary Gray, producers Neal Moritz and One Race Films, writer Chris Morgan, and the hundreds of awesome, dedicated crew members who worked their asses off.
All of us take our work on Fast & Furious seriously, and we seriously intend to wow the world again. We’ll be back in December with your first look at what we’ve created for you.
— Your Fast Family
