Back in January, Vin Diesel did his usual social media promotion duty and put up the first poster from the eighth Fast & Furious film online, which listed it as Fast 8. He's back with the new image, which appears to switch the title to Furious 8, while also making us wonder if they're just unveiling the full title word by word...
We suppose it makes sense to follow the naming standard set by the seventh film (at least in the States), but it does rather crush our dream of future movies simply taking bits of the title and using them (And 9, anyone?)
Regardless, Furious 8 (or whatever it ends up being known as over here) has F. Gary Gray directing Vin and the returning regulars (including Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Dwayne Johnson) facing off against new villain Charlize Theron in a story that remains a mystery to be discovered a quarter mile at a time. We do know that Kurt Russell's mysterious Mr. Nobody will be back, bringing protege Scott Eastwood along for the ride. With shooting planned for Iceland, Atlanta, New York and (assuming all the permits clear) Cuba, Furious 8 will screech onto screens on April 14 next year.
