Thanks to the far reaching commercial and financial embargo put on Cuba by the United States in the early 1960s, it’s been impossible to shoot a Hollywood film in the fascinating Caribbean nation for decades. However, with restrictions easing in recent years, the Fast 8 crew have been able to film part of the latest F&F feature in the Cuban capital of Havana. Earlier this year, filming took place in Iceland, although not without incident.

Fast 8 will be released on 14 April 2017, followed up by two further instalments to create a 10 film ‘saga’.

I’m really concerned they’re going to ruin this franchise by dragging it out so long. Fast 7 ended so beautifully, I hoped they’d leave it there. Now they’re going to keep trying o get bigger and bigger (which was already a problem with the last two), and they might just become ridiculous.

Those few shots look okay though. Real drag racing in a real old-school country. Maybe they’ll fix things up.

All the f*cking American classics I have ever wanted will now be in the movie!

I hope this will be more racing and less mission impossible.

WTF, I’m sorry but it’s like cars have become a minor thing in FF films and they only show them in the trailers…

As long as they pay respects to Brian, I’m fine with it.
