    With the money 7 made, obviously 8 was happening despite Paul Walker's death during filming of 7, I wonder will Brian be killed in this one?


    Vin Diesel isn't directing, F. Gary Gray confirmed


    Jason Statham and Dwayne The Rock Johnson also back

    *sigh*

    Will Vin Diesel be returning? I'll be super surprised if he is, since F&F was tied so much to himself and Walker.

    Vin confirmed this would be happening in some interview last year so I have no doubt he will be starring. I think they finished Brians story well, as well as they could in FF7 so I wouldn't touch that topic if I was them. The whole thing is so tied up in the relationship between Vin and Paul though Im not sure who is going to step up in his place.

    Hopefully they get Dwayne Johnson back too

    Haven't they committed to 9 as well? They won't say much about Brian I imagine, maybe only in passing. Assume that leaves Mia out of any future films too.

    I think the plan is:

    Fast 8 (2017)
    Furious Nine (2019)
    Fast & Furious X (2021) - 20th Anniversary of the original film.

    I'm fairly sure they said they retired his character so my guess is he won't be mentioned again along with Mia.

    Vin Diesel had up on his Facebook page a couple of weeks back that he wanted to take the franchise back in the street racer direction which I wouldn't be for at all. The films are in their own level of stupid but I really have enjoyed the last couple of them.

    I watched 1 to figure out who was who, can't say I loved it, 2,3 or 4 I don't really remember, 3 in particular was awful though I think.

    Really enjoyed 5, liked 6 and thought 7 was good, and a fitting tribute to one of the main characters who lost his life during the making.....

    If they went back to the direction of the first couple I would have no interest whatsoever.

    The ridiculousness of the films is their appeal

    I thought 7 was fairly bad to be honest. Five was a brilliantly stupid action film with the addition of Dwayne Johnson being something of a godsend to the franchise; 6 was very much its sequel, more of everything, didn't hold together as well.
    7 was just a mess though, everything was overbloated to the point that I couldn't invest in any of it and the ridiculous action sequences didn't hold achieve the same kind of visceral suspense that something like
    the cars trying to pull down the plane on that ridiculous runway
    in 6 did. My brain is utterly incapable of investing in a car jumping between
    towers in Dubai
    . The number of cast members has also gotten a bit out of hand, Statham hardly had a chance to add anything to it all.

    Also, I'm only going on this alone, but Ronda Rousey is an absolutely terrible actor, isn't she?

    She's like a female version of the early Dolph Lundgren, more than able for the physical parts of an action movie but totally lacking in the charm department unlike Arnie and Sly who had both.

    So the trailer just dropped for the 8th instalment into the Fast and Furious franchise, couldn't find a thread for the new movie so here we are.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwMKRevYa_M


    I've never been a big fan of the movies past the first couple but to me this looks particularly bad, not even in a fun way, just Transformers bad.

    People love this stuff though, and it will most certainly bring in enough money to fund a couple more.

    I just can't understand the appeal of this franchise; and I don't mean in some haughty "I'm too good for this" sorta way, or that I don't appreciate the whole so-bad-it's-good sensibility (certainly as someone who 'enjoyed' Jupiter Ascending that can't be claimed) - the films are about as boneheaded as the Transformers franchise yet they seem to get more of a pass than those over-saturated Baygasms.

    It's weird, even if I don't have an interest in something, I can usually appreciate the appeal & why people might love the thing; not the above though :)

    It's got Vin Diesel and The Rock saying and doing stupid things, with cars and explosions. I'd rather watch Nicolas Cage films for a "so-bad-it's-good" fix, but it's not hard to understand the appeal of this series at all. The world keeps evolving into Idiocracy.

    I don't think they fall into the "so bad it's good" category at all. 1 - 4 are rubbish, 5 is great and 6 was grand but not as good as 5 (not seen 7).

    The action is great, some of the characters are funny and so much of it is just so cheesy (both in the "story" of the characters and also the general action/comedy/characters) that once you accept that, it doesn't bother you.

    The F&F movies are just fun. Stupid, dumb, spectacular, funny fun.

    Transformers isn't fun. It takes itself too seriously but also tries to be funny. The characters aren't nearly as good or funny. The action is bland and boring. To me, it's a completely different mix which doesn't work.

    I agree fully with Penn. To dismiss them as movies for idiots, which is the implication in some of the posts above, is fairly narrow minded. They're not exactly clever, but the last few F&F movies have delivered charismatic, silly fun by the bucketload and I've really enjoyed them.

    Transformers on the other side, to my mind, is just a lazy, bloated and generic CGI fest.

    Just making sure that's not aimed at me cos I wanted to be clear it wasn't about feeling superior or sniffy about the franchise, just a slight bafflement about their breathless appeal (internet hyperbole notwithstanding). I guess it's down to personal watermarks of how much silly becomes too much silly.

    Have to jump on the CGI comment though because the one thing I took from the last two films (and haven't seen 'em since the cinema trip) was just how much & how dreadful the CGI in places was. Clearly the stunts are ludicrously overblown n' all, but I was surprised how much middling-to-bad FX there was - and there's something about CGI cars in an action movie about cars that feels ... kinda blasphemous in a way.

    Roman Pearce is one of the worst characters to ever appear in a movie.

    They're passable fare, silly set-pieces with OTT bravado, and they're decent for it but this one does look quite bad.

    They seem quite happy to admit they've run out of ideas as well, rehashing the idea that one of them has "turned bad" - only to be resolved late on no doubt. What are we thinking, Charlize Theron has hacked his brain?

    I'd say he is gone undercover and only Kurt Russell's character is in on it as if the rest knew they would obviously go easy on him. Theron's character probably has something dangerous and the only way to find out is for someone to get close to her. Or she kidnapped Dom's sister and is blackmailing him to work for her and he can't tell anybody.

    He was awful in 2F2F, but I think they've really started to nail his character in the last few movies. Again, that's the thing about the F&F franchise as a whole, once you accept how awful some of the things are, you actually appreciate them more. In any other film, Roman would be a horrible character. But here, he just fits in so well and adds so much.

    I thought that too, but there'd be no way Paul Walker's character wouldn't come back to help, so I'd say they're just completely leaving her and Brian out of any future involvement in terms of storyline. Maybe a brief mention here and there.

    I'm not sure about this whole tearing up the family loyalty bit. That's like core to the fast and furious. I'm guessing they gotta get back together in the end. That Theron is like holding Vin hostage somehow.

    Another thing is the cars on snow/ice reminds me of Die Another Day.. which doesn't bode well.... but like.. if anyone can make it work.. fast and furious.. right?

    The reasonably high rep of the whole series hinges on 5 and 6, Justin Lin, who seems to be pretty damn good with ensembles in general as well as action, ramped absolutely everything up for five and transformed an overstuffed cast into a legitimately likeable ensemble. With 6 he was able get away with doing most of the same again but bigger in every way.

    Whether it could've been sustained for another film or not with Lin there is anyone's guess but there was f*ck all chance without him. The more I'm removed from 7, the more I think it was total ****ing garbage that managed to get by on sentiment. The actual action sequences were so ineffective that I can scarcely remember them while I remember 5 and 6's pretty damn well.
    I see nothing in F Gary Gray's filmography to suggest that he'll be capable of anything other than knocking out the kind of generic as **** heist film that people who've never given the series a chance expect.

    On the more optimistic side:
    The Italian Job (2003) was okay, this'll probably be about as good as that
    I doubt Gray will commit the cardinal sin of making the team unlikeable (which is a constant risk with this bunch of pricks, like)
    Iceland is a location that has far more potential to make an impact than Abu Dhabi, a city that looks like a CGI coated hellscape before editing even begins

    The Fate of the Furious, is going to be a massive movie in more ways than one.

    Not only will it be big on action and spectacle, but the movie is reportedly going to be nearly three hours long.

    IMDB recently updated The Fate of the Furious movie page and now has the movie listed with a reported run time of 160 minutes. Yes, if this new information is true, Fast and Furious 8 is going to be by far the longest movie in the franchise and one of the more lengthy movies to be released in recent memory.
