Universal Pictures has confirmed that the upcoming “Fast & Furious 8” is the first chapter of the studio’s record-smashing homegrown franchise’s FINAL trilogy. In 2015, Fast & Furious 7 proved to be an emotionally charged
culmination of the beloved franchise built on speed. Not only were the
filmmakers and cast looking to pay homage to the legacy of Paul Walker,
who was inarguably the heart of the films, but also to the very best of
what The Fast and the Furious sparked in film audiences more than 15
years ago…and continues to do with another generation of fans.
