- Vin Diesel told Variety at the 25th anniversary screening of 'The Fast and the Furious' that 'Fast Forever' starts filming in December, contingent on studio approval.
- Diesel said the script required four sets of writers and four years of development before he found a version worthy of a finale, and he cried reading the final draft a couple of weeks ago.
- 'Fast Forever' is set as the 11th and final mainline film in the franchise, with a theatrical release date of March 17, 2028.
- The Fast & Furious franchise is Universal's longest-running and most profitable franchise, with a combined worldwide gross of $7.3 billion.
- Director Louis Leterrier told Polygon he has not yet read the script and declined to detail the ending, saying only 'there will be an ending, and it's great.'
Why it matters: This is the closing chapter of Universal's most profitable franchise at $7.3 billion worldwide gross — yet the director attached to it has not read the script. Leterrier's admission creates real production uncertainty heading into a December shoot for a March 2028 release.
