Vin Diesel has confirmed that there will one last trilogy of films in the The Fast and Furious series, which should take us up to F&F 10.
Diesel, who now produces the movies as well as star as Dominic Toretto, released new information on his Facebook page over the weekend.
The fans of the Fast & Furious SAGA are the best fans in the world… Since I became the Producer in 2008, you have been with me every step of the way… literally giving me feedback that proved invaluable. Thank you.
My producing partner Neal would love for me to just sign off on a director, but this is too special a franchise, so these matters have to be very carefully handled. To be clear, NO ONE has been offered to helm Fast 8 yet… let alone seen a script.
Universal has been so good to me and so trusting of the vision… they have been like family… I promised the studio I would deliver one last Trilogy to end the saga.
I will announce the directors on my next post…
There have been reports of Furious 7 helmer James Wan turning down the opportunity to direct the eighth movie, and now he’s in England filming The Conjuring 2. Justin Lin, who directed movies 3, 4, 5 and 6 in the series, has gone on to direct Star Trek Beyond for Paramount, so he won’t be involved either. We look forward to see who they pick to drive the first film in that planned final trilogy. It’s interesting that he said ‘directors’ (plural) on that Facebook entry…
