Furious 8
 

Release Date: April 14, 2017
Director: James Wan
Writer: Gary Scott Thompson
Produced by; Vin Diesel and Neal H. Moritz
Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, Cody Walker
Official Plot: Coming soon

When Furious 7 was conceived, it was planned as the start of a new trilogy of films, with Kurt Russell’s Mr. Nobody acting as the connective tissue working through parts 8 and 9. While 9 remains a mystery, the seeds of Furious 8 are being sown rather quickly. Universal confirmed the sequel at CinemaCon in April. Dwayne Johnson promised that he’d be back. And now Diesel’s beating the drum for a New York adventure once again. (Source: Cinemablend)

Sounds like fun, I think these movies get too bad a rap sometimes; for what they are they're pretty well done - at least the recent ones.

You already know I'm in the cinema seats at the first available screening of this! But first, a little waiting.... :(

Re: Furious 8
 

I thought Dwayne Johnson was finished with the series?

Re: Furious 8
 

Why the hell did you think that? Hobbs is one of the best additions to the franchise. He confirms his return here,

He posted on Instagram a while ago saying that F7 was his farewell to the franchise.

Re: Furious 8
 

That's weird since there is a lot of talk of a spin-off film too. Hmm. Guess he's back on anyways...

It may have been before the death of Paul Walker. Now with Paul gone, they may have asked him to step up and take the reigns.

Re: Furious 8
 

Maybe. But I just found a post by Dwayne, and that was just about him saying farewell on his last day on set of the 7th film, not a farewell to the overall franchise. But yeah, best thing is he's back though! :up:

Who knows. I've begun to lose interest in it anyways.

Re: Furious 8
 

If Dwayne isn't there calling someone a "son-bitch", it's not a F&F movie.

Re: Furious 8
 

i think Dwayne Johnson will played a big role in this movie after the Paul death....

Re: Furious 8
 

Great news. Looking forward to this.

Looks like we have an early favourite for "best movie title of 2017".

Hmm, looks like they're recycling the "brainwashed crew member" plot from #6, but the prospect of being forced to team up with Statham and the fact that they involve a tundra setting could be interesting.

Re: Furious 8
 

Looks crazy, but thats what we love right?.

Not really a fan of the franchise, wasn't disappointed, a solid addition
