LAS VEGAS — Not that there was any doubt, but just in case: Universal Pictures is making an eighth Fast and Furious film, which will hit theaters in the franchise's traditional springtime slot in 2017.
Vin Diesel himself took the stage to break the news at CinemaCon,
thanking the more than 4,000 theater owners gathered at Ceasars Palace
for their support and telling them exactly when they can expect the
movie: "Furious 8 will be yours to share with the world on
April 14, 2017." (No telling whether that's the official title, which
will be a challenge to come up with.)
Diesel recalled being at CinemaCon two years ago "with my brother
Pablo" (his nickname for Paul Walker), when he told the crowd here about
Furious 7.

"There
is something you all did," he told exhibitors. "For me, personally, you
all gave me so much confidence. There was so much love. You made me
feel like we could actually make history with Furious Seven.
You’ve been so loyal all along. ... Because there’s a pride that you
have that we feel, the people that make the movie, the studio that I
call my home, my family. You make us fell like we ant to give you the
best move in the world to share with you."
