Vin Diesel says Fast Forever could shoot in December, will be very sad
The star of the eleven-film franchise suggests this film will be a three-hankie affair.
In the intense realm of high-speed racing and global espionage, the cast and crew of the Fast & Furious film series face an emotional journey akin to a life-and-death race against a cyberterrorist known as Cipher. Vin Diesel, as the franchise's star and executive producer, expressed to Variety that the upcoming eleventh installment, Fast Forever, will be a profoundly emotional conclusion.
"We start shooting in December, if I can make good on the request from the studio," Diesel stated. "I'm in a good place, though. I had to go through four sets of writers, four years of development, to get to something worthy of a finale. And when I read the script a couple of weeks ago, [I cried]." Diesel's emotional reaction after reading the script mirrors that of Donald Sutherland's during the creation of Ordinary People, a testament to the story's impact.
"I'm going to tell you something personal," Diesel admitted. "[After] I read the script, halfway through, one tear. By the end, I was crying. I couldn't hold it back, and I had to tell everyone. My sister said, 'No more crying, bro.'" As Fast Forever is set to commence filming in December, all fans can anticipate a riveting and emotionally charged opening.
