Hollywood star Vin Diesel has announced that the eighth installment in the popular ‘Fast and Furious’ series will be titled ‘Fast 8’. The actor made the announcement through his official Instagram page.
The last film in the series was titled ‘Furious 7’ the world over, even though it released as ‘Fast and Furious 7’ in India.
The poster of ‘Fast 8’ was released last week and had the New York City as its backdrop. There are reports that the makers are still exploring various places in search of the perfect location to film the 8th instalment in the action series.
“Universal Pictures is currently in the process of seeking approval from the United States and Cuban governments to explore shooting a portion of the next installment of the ‘Fast and Furious’ series in Cuba,” a studio spokesperson said.
Fans of the series will miss the presence of the late Paul Walker, who made his final appearance in ‘Furious 7’ which grossed $1.5 billion globally and became the highest 6th highest grossing Hollywood film of all time.
This is the 8th part of F and F franchisee…
And in bollywood we have never gone past 3 like krrish3 , Murder 3 etc… Makers ruined murder3 coz of no emraan…
Raaz 4 will be the 1st film to have gone past 3 in terms of franchisee… Way to go..
@indicine Raaz 4 makers have released intriguing videos which are on TOI ..post abt Raaz 4.. And also Azhar slated at 13th may
in2007 srk had a great content film cdi which collects less than oso that year. In2004 srk had another great content film veer zara which performed slightly better than mujse shaadi karogi or main hoon na that year. In2000 srk had mohabatien which collected less than kaho na pyar hai. In2001 k3g which performed way less than gadar. In 2008,rab ne which is beaten by ghajini. So even with content srk cant deliver an atbb.
who cares? #Fan #Raees are all that matters. Not superman v batman, not mohenjo daro, not sultan, not dangal. :)

Welcome (but welcome back failed due to no Akki)….
I have a new plot that might work. Why not have them become astronauts that fly through space in rocket cars that fight aliens trying to take over the universe?. Oops forget to mention that Jadoo will be part of the new film. Lol
Why is this even news on a Bollywood site!!! I am 100% sure Rocky Handsome is not heavily promoted on Hollywood movie site!!! 1 recommendation i would suggest for @indicine is to have a Hollywood section and update that part with news and gossips and reviews!!!
Jokes apart, as someone who loves the ff, the 7th was a good film and it should be the end of it. It won’t be the same without Brian. It would be the perfect close to the series.
Overrated Movie ?
7th Installment Was The Worst ? This one was looking even crap than the 7th One…Name itself is looking pathetic ? This series lost it’s charm after the 7th one…LOL
2017 will be awesome Fast 8 and Avatar 2,back in 2010 Avatar was the highest grossing holywood film India and then in 2015 it was FF7, but i think Avatar will break each and every record around
Didn’t liked furious 7 .
No intrst in this one.¡
Stop making garbage Hollywood.
Waiting for FAST 8 and XXX 3
Waiting for DON 3
@KM(Ketan Mehta) emraan is good actor,but now he lost his charm .and upcoming movies cannot cross 50cr…..sure……….flop is continuous………he no where close to real azzuruddin thats a big mistake
@ketan mehta…..bhai kitna promote karrahe ho yaar tum raaz or azhar ko…..dnt worry both movies will be sureshot hits….
@KM you forgot bigger franchises like Dhoom3 golmaal 3. What’s exciting me is the stunt director for fast 8 is the one handling Shivaay and the boss too R. Maasees of Mi rogue nation is also the villain in Shivaay. The movie looks very exciting.
Golmaal will be the 1st ever franchise with part 4. So don’t underestimate bollywood. We are marching and have all potential to stay shoulder to shoulder with other industry
Title is similar to fast 5
With fast 5 , this franchise became a huge brand
Hope fast 8 is as gud as fast 5
Not a fan of fast n furious…only gud thing abt fnf is car stunts..
ll miss paul in the movie…….
Fast and furious is a very good movie franchise. waiting for fast-8 and azhar biopic then raaz-4
Every Sensible Person should going to watch this movie FnF is great series people who love action like this movie and always wait for it only morons and idiots are calling this crap
Well Indicine u r really promoting this hollywood movie.
I’m waiting for some blockbusters in 2015 like.
BvS:DOJ, CA:CV, SW:RO, ID:R, XM:A.
F&f 5 is the best part..!!
@Diljale
Yeahhh!!… I like that. 2 swaggy comments!
@Ajay rocks… Yup no Brian no fun!!!
Will watch this so that in my mind I will be wow Ajay Sir is hiring this stunt director. Respect Sir Respect not only Ajay fans but am sure many will really like Shivaay Insh A!
gud decision to publish artical on hollywood films..,
specially those who r big brands like fast n furious..
its a gud break from regular khan wars…
@indicine
u shld publish sm pirates of carribian news too cause it has huge following in india.. n ust imagin jack sparrow n his pirates artical on indicine… really top class.
@skr,why don’t u keep ur stupid opinion to urself.
@KM
Yeah nice analysis… Quite honest I can see you an Eemran fan but don’t you think it’s harsh neglecting maasti series.Maasti hit Grand masti got 100 crs, if you are giving stats of franchise esp big ones that earned huge at box office why exclude Grand masti? trade audience did not look at c grade actors if not it won’t have been a surprise package (grand maasti) n talking about c grade actor there ain’t any c grade lead role actor with 100 crs.
Next observation, all the franchise you named deserves their verdict Srk was simply stylish in his mafia franchise Don. Eemran was so good in janaat 1 2. Akshay was superb in both houseful franchise, Salman was charming in Dabbang franchise. What surprised me is how could you skip Singham n golmaal franchise? Even a die hard hater of Ajay will find it very strange not mentioning Singham n golmaal. Here are some highlights….
Golmaal franchise is one of the biggest franchise in bollywood. 3 years ago Indicine published top 5 franchise.. Golmaal box office trade was 8.5/10! Why skipping it?
Golmaal franchise is amongst the all time most successful sequences…
Golmaal us the 1st official bollywood movie to have 3 franchise! next Singham.
Singham is a movie that an average kid/youth/adult real life cops knows and felt so emotionally touched. That’s why when singham returns was about to be released it had a massive 32 crs opening which no movie on your above list opened day 1 using the same actor. So why neglecting it? I
Well I can’t force you to list his movies probably you don’t consider him A list? your wish. Probably you don’t consider their verdicts? your wish but I will also list them how you listed the above.
Golmaal… Hit
Golmaal return… Hit
Golmaal 3….Blockbuster 107 cr
Singham… Blockbuster 101 cr
Singham returns… Super hit 140 crs.
Are they not franchise? pls let’s not use sentiments no matter how you may not like a actor I believe as a bollywood fan you will atleast not show favourism rather you acknowledge.. It takes nothing away from your Fan you idolize rather it makes other fans have mutual respect for you and your actor.
@KM
Where’s one of the most successful franchise also…
Munna bhai franchise????
Bhoothnath?
