FURIOUS 8 Gets a 2017 Release Date
Universal Pictures has announced that that the eighth film in the Fast and Furious franchise will be released on April 14th, 2017. The announcement was made at CinemaCon in Las Vegas where Vin Diesel exclaimed, "We're going to make the best movie you've ever seen."
There's no word on what the plot line of Furious 8 will be, but you can bet your ass that fast and awesome cars are going to be involved. It was also previously revealed that the upcoming stories would focus more on heist type elements, so I imagine that's the same direction they'll take. It's been working for them so far, so they might as well not stop now.
There aren't many other details at this point on Furious 8, but it will be racing into theaters in 2017. We'll keep you updated on any details on the film between now and then.
