Furious 8 Release Date Set for April 14, 2017

Furious 8 will be released on April 14, 2017, Vin Diesel confirmed at Universal’s CinemaCon panel on April 23.

Vin Diesel told the crowd of theater owners: “It means a lot to me to get your blessing.”

The actor took the audience back to two years ago when on the same stage at Caesars Palace, he and Paul Walker said they planned to move forward on a seventh film in the Fast and Furious franchise.

Paul Walker died in a 2013 car crash.

At various points after Paul Walker’s shocking death, it seemed as though Universal might have to cancel the production.

Furious 7 shooting was not yet complete when the crash happened, but special effects technicians and stunt doubles were able to complete the project, resulting in what domestic distribution chief Nick Carpou termed, “a cathartic experience for fans of Walker”.
