The fact that they were able to complete the seventh installment seemed like a mind-blowing miracle, but like any other lovingly dedicated family unit \u2013 they survived the emotional challenges by banding together for better or worse. And the result was a gorgeously affecting film that honored their fallen brethren with breathless adoration while also giving fans the opportunity to say a final goodbye to Brian O\u2019Connor.<\/p>\n<p>This closes an important chapter in the enduring saga but also leaves room for future developments to take hold in the still thriving juggernaut. And if Diesel has anything to say about it \u2013 this will happen sooner rather than later. According to the actor best known as Dom Torreto \u2013 despite the already two films that are slated to complete the trilogy, we can also anticipate more films that will serve as prequels and spinoffs to help richly define the characters that we have grown to love.<\/p>\n<p>Diesel explains, \u201cWe\u2019ve written out story lines for various characters\u201d. \u201cWe\u2019ve been playing with it for a long time. It\u2019s a very rich property and we\u2019re committed to treating it with a lot of class\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it, the Fast franchise isn\u2019t fading into the sunset just yet. It impressively overcame the awkward stage that set in after the third installment which director Justin Lin can take credit for since he single-handedly restored the the original settings by rescuing the franchise from oblivion.<\/p>\n<p>2009\u2019s <em>Fast and Furious<\/em> brought back the original teamsters and its blockbuster reception birthed <em>Fast Fiv<\/em>e \u2013 a climatically enticing seducer set in Rio de Janeiro &#8211; that can easily categorized as one of the best heist films of all time. And the rest is history.<\/p>\n<p><em>Straight Outta Compton<\/em> director, F. Gary Gray has been commissioned to helm <em>Furious 8<\/em> and based on his track record \u2013 we can only imagine the dopeness that will unfold in 2017.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime \u2013 die-hard fans can rest assured that they will not stop hearing the mantra \u201cRide or Die\u201d anytime soon.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Fast franchise is not bowing out anytime soon so keep your engines revved up because its only going to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1,38,6],"tags":[2363,1665,1804,1876,1810,1663,2364,1664],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.3 -
