The Fate of the Furious
(alternatively known as Fast & Furious 8 and Fast 8, and often stylized as
F8) is a 2017 American action film directed by F. Gary Gray and written by
Chris Morgan. It is the eighth instalment in The Fast and the Furious
franchise. The film stars Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle
Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Scott Eastwood,
Nathalie Emmanuel, Elsa Pataky, Kurt Russell and Charlize Theron. The Fate of
the Furious follows Dominic Toretto (Diesel), who has settled down with his
wife Letty Ortiz (Rodriguez), until cyberterrorist Cipher (Theron) coerces him
into working for her and turns him against his team, forcing them to find Dom
and take down Cipher. The Fate of the Furious marks the first instalment in the
franchise since The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) not to feature
both Paul Walker, who died on November 30, 2013 in a single-vehicle crash while
the filming of Furious 7 (2015) was still in progress, and Jordana Brewster.
Script rewrites to the seventh instalment after Walker's death were intended to
complete the story arcs for both of their characters (Brian O'Conner and Mia
Toretto, respectively).
Plans for an eighth instalment
were first announced in March 2015 when Diesel appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
and announced that the film would be set in New York City. Preparations for the
film began immediately after the release of Furious 7, with Diesel, Morgan and
producer Neal H. Moritz re-signing. After setting an initial release date in the
same month, casting took place between April and June 2015. In October 2015,
Gray was announced to direct the film in the place of James Wan, who had
directed the previous instalment. Principal photography began in March 2016 in
locations such as Mývatn, Havana, Atlanta, Cleveland and New York City,
continuing the franchise's tradition of filming in exotic locations around the
world. The Fate of the Furious premiered in Berlin on April 4, 2017, and was
theatrically released in the United States on April 14, 2017, playing in 3D,
IMAX 3D and 4DX internationally. The film received mixed reviews from critics,
many of whom praised the action sequences and acting performances but
criticized the storyline. The film grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide, making
it the thirtieth film (and the second in the franchise, after Furious 7) to
gross over $1 billion, the third-highest-grossing film of 2017 and the
seventeenth-highest-grossing film of all time. The film grossed $542 million
worldwide during its opening weekend, which is the third highest-grossing
worldwide opening of all time. A sequel is scheduled to be released on May 22,
2020.
