Heads up "Fast and Furious" fans, as the upcoming eighth-part of the hit movie series - "Fast 8" - is on its way as shown in the recent photos shared by Vin Diesel, one of the film's lead actors. "Fast 8's" director, F. Gary Gray, also uploaded short video clips updating the series' avid fans on what is happening behind the scenes.
Diesel's photo, captioned with "#F8," featured eleven casts of "Fast and Furious 8." The image, clearly captured while the actors are on break, includes Jason Statham, Kristofer Hivju, Kurt Russell, Tyrese Gibson, Charlize Theron, Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, Scott Eastwood, and Dwayne Johnson. It was uploaded last week and has gained over 500 thousand likes as of the moment.
It is evident that the photo was shot not for promotional purposes as it does not look like it was taken by a professional photographer. Actors looked candid and just enjoying themselves in the group picture. Movie actors Johnson and Eastwood showed their playful personalities behind the camera as they strike their own naughty poses.
Aside from Diesel's images, short video clips and behind-the-scene photos are also posted in Gray's social media account. Known for helming "Straight Outta Compton," Gray has taken "Fast and Furious 8's" director seat from last sequel's director James Wan.
For the past few days, fans have been treated with exciting sneak peeks, one of which is a clip that showed flying and bumping cars in an icy set, which is seen as sign that "Fast and Furious 8" is filming in Iceland. The director captioned the video with: "Just in case you missed it on Friday! #fastfridays #f8 #turnup #literally #behindthescenes."
Gray also uploaded another short video featuring "Fast and Furious 8's" new cast Hijvu of "Game of Thrones." The clip was captioned with "I love it when my actors are intensely #focused! @khivju is #killing it! This is that moment when you and your actor know you've got gold! #F8 @fastandfuriousmovie #behindthescenes #gameofthrones #workinghard."
"The Game of Thrones" actor will be Theron's henchman, according to Empire. While details of the upcoming "Fast and Furious 8" movie are still kept secret, fans are looking forward to its big screen release set on April 14, 2017.
