Vin Diesel says Fast & Furious 8 will be ‘from Paul’
The dust is still settling from the hype of Furious 7, which hit theatres on April 3rd and broke a number of box office records in just its first weekend, but already, the cast and crew is looking forward to the all but confirmed Fast and Furious 8, which would be the first film in the series since Paul Walker’s death in 2013 not to feature Walker as Brian O’Conner. Just the other night, at the MTV Movie Awards, Vin Diesel told MTV News that he’s looking forward to Fast & Furious 8, and that he knows Paul is too.
