Vin Diesel's Fast and Furious 8 may largely be based in New York, but this time around fans may not get to see Paul Walker, who played Brian O'Conner in the popular franchise.
However, after the blockbuster response that Furious 7 received at the box office, expectations from the action thriller franchise are even greater, when it would release the eighth movie in the series.
Clearly, Diesel and other producers will have to find a gripping story for the next movie to meet the expectations, especially since the previous edition ranked fifth on the highest-grossing movie list in Hollywood.
Another challenge for The Last Witch Hunter star will be to fill the void that has been left by Walker, after his tragic death in a car accident in 2013.
Diesel had earlier mentioned that Furious 7 was a tribute to his "late brother Pablo" (he fondly called Walker that) and added that Furious 8, will start with Walker.
"When your brother guarantees something, you sometimes feel like you have to make sure it comes to pass. So if fate has it, fate..F8...if fate has it, then you'll get this when you hear about it. Seven was for Paul, eight is from Paul," Diesel said during the MTV Movie Awards 2015.
Moreover, there are rumours that Kurt Russell may join the cast of Furious franchise and Diesel has hinted at a bigger role for the 64-year-old star.
The American actor who played the role of Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy, told Jimmy Kimmel that Russell's Mr Nobody character was introduced for a larger story in the upcoming movie.
Rumours also suggest that the cast of Furious 8 may include Cody Walker (Paul's brother), Dwayne Johnson and Eva Mendes.
Nonetheless, it remains to be seen, how Fast and Furious 8 will match the legacy of Paul, when it premieres on 14 April 2017.
“Furious 7,” the latest in “The Fast and the Furious” franchise, was a blockbuster success. It broke the records of its own predecessors and embedded itself into cinematic history. And due to this unbridled success, the roadster-centric film series will further expand with “Fast & Furious 8.”
Details are fairly scanty about the flick. Fans only know the premiere date of the film and some possible details on the storyline. During the ComicCon in Las Vegas, Vin Diesel, who fans know as Dominic Toretto in the “Fast & Furious” movies, revealed that there will be an eighth film, which is set to be released on April 14, 2017.
It was also Diesel who suggested the possibility of Kurt Russell’s character’s return in the film. In “Furious 7,” Mr. Nobody was one of the many problems of the Toretto gang although his role was only meant to be small. So it looks like the character would do bigger damage in the next movie just as the gang delves into the world of sly government officials.

The film “Fast and Furious 7” is making waves at the box office. The upsurge in interest is no doubt due to the death of the movie’s star, Paul Walker. Walker died in a tragic car accident on November 30, 2013. The Porsche he and the driver (owner Roger Rodas) were in collided with a tree. It appears Rodas was speeding and this caused the grisly accident capped off by a fireball incinerating them. Ironically, Walker’s death was as sad, stupid, and banal as the “Fast and Furious” franchise he represented. Moreover, the baloney conspiracy theory floated about Walker’s death is even worse than his performance in “The Skulls” – one of the all-time worst thriller/conspiracy films (1). In early December 2013, Bob Cesca and Chez Pazienza from the Daily Banter wrote, “The Conspiracy Theory That’s too Crazy for Alex Jones” and “Meet the Man Whose Even Crazier than Alex Jones” (2)(3). The article discussed David Chase Taylor and his obscene promotion of Paul Walker getting iced by a drone strike. In Chase Taylor’s warped thinking, he presumes Walker’s assassination was to implant the disastrous “Fast and Furious” ATF screw-up in the public mind so to facilitate a civil war with gun owners. At least, that is what I made of it.
Furious7 continues to make headlines for its massive box office haul (over $200 million domestically), but for car collecting fans of the series, there’s another Fast and Furious headline that’s making news. Paul Walker’s iconicR34 Nissan GT-R from 2009′s Fast and Furious remains up for sale, and it isn’t the only car from the movie with a price tag.
This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle, also from the fourth movie, will cross the block at Dallas’ Leake Auction on April 18, and could earn a pretty penny for its role in the popular street racing series.

According to ClassicCars, this Chevelle (a ’71 built to ’70 specifications) was sourced as an exact backup to the film’s stunt car for the street racing ‘bridge scene’, in case it didn’t survive shooting. As such, it was fitted with a roll cage, Hotchkis suspension, Wilwood brakes, as well as a special drift brake, matching the same fitments of the Chevelle hero car. Luckily, the stunt car survived the shot and this Chevelle never had to attempt the leap.
David Chase Taylor: David Chase Taylor’s mum is from Germany and his dad is from the United States. He was born in Norway. Now, he is trying to get asylum seeker status in Switzerland. Apparently, a host of international powers want to get rid of him. To aid his cause, he has set up many sites asking for donations to help him stay in the country. I would pay money to see this idiot turfed out of any country.
A piece of cinematic history will be awarded to the highest bidder when the 1993 Toyota Supra driven by late star Paul Walker in the original “Fast and the Furious” movie hits the auction block at the Indiana State Fairgrounds next week, according to FOX Sports.
The iconic orange sports car is known for being Walker’s second of many rides throughout the “Fast and Furious” movies – some of the most successful ever, with a worldwide box-office gross of $3.8 billion, according to TheNumbers.com. FOX Sports says this particular Supra has the added significance of being the one used in many of the films’ stunt scenes, including the final race between Walker and Vin Diesel’s character at the end of the first movie.
When it first came out in 1997 it was the greatest movie achievement in Hollywood, taking away a record breaking number of 11 Academy Award Oscars. Yes, we’re talking about the movie we love to hate: The Titanic. All of the people involved in making this movie gave their very best and managed to tell a romantic story within one of the greatest tragedies in modern history. The movie was a masterpiece of its time, but since suffered many harsh critics. Some may be connected with the many unedited mistakes seen throughout the movie, and here are 26 so obvious, you’ll wonder how you’ve missed them.
