Watch The First Footage From ‘Fast 8’, Which Has A Brand New Title
This weekend will bring another blockbuster trailer debut, this time for the eighth installment of theFast and Furiousfranchise. It’s hard to believe that we’ve come this far with Vin Diesel and the rest of the crew, but here we are. So far we’ve been calling the filmFast 8, but the movie has just gotten a brand new title, and it’s both kinda silly, but still pretty cool. The sequel will be calledThe Fate of the Furious, but sadly notThe F8 of the Furious.
In addition to the new title announcement, the first footage from the sequel has just debuted online before the full trailer arrives sometime on Sunday. It has all the insane action you’d expect, but this time in Cuba and the bitter cold of Iceland. Some of this action looks likeMad Max: Fury Roadon ice, and that’s just awesome.
Watch theFast and Furious 8trailer tease after the jump.
Vin Dieselis back in action along withDwayne Johnsonagain. Their work even sparked some kind of rivalry, though it could turn out to be promotion for the movie. Plus, we have the return ofMichelle Rodriguez, Tyrese GibsonandChris “Ludacris” Bridges.
Meanwhile, newer crew memberNatalie Emmanuelis returning fromFurious 7along withJason StathamandKurt Russell. Plus, we have all-new cast members likeCharlize Theron, Scott Eastwood, Kristofer HivjuandHelen Mirren.Exactly how they’re all involved, we’re not sure, but Theron is meant to be the villain this time (you may spot her in the teaser above), so we’ll surely get to see her behind the wheel again, and hopefully she’s just as bad ass as she was inMad Max: Fury Road.
F. Gary Gray(Straight Outta Compton, Law Abiding Citizen) is behind the camera for this one, and he was able to take the movie to several locations the franchise hasn’t gone. We can see glimpses of Cuba and Iceland in the teaser above, but New York City will also play a part in the action as well. Hopefully see some Big Apple mayhem when the full trailer arrives.
From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, our elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world’s stage…and to bring home the man who made them a family.
