The famous actor Vin Diesel says filming for “Fast Forever” has a start date, as reported by the Variety. “We start shooting in December, if I can make good on the request from the studio,” Diesel told Variety on 17 August at the 25th anniversary screening of “The Fast and the Furious”.

Inside the screening, Diesel addressed the audience before the lights dimmed and shared more details about how the “Fast Forever” script brought him to tears.

“I’m going to tell you something personal,” he said. “It was after four different writers, four years of development, and after I read the script, halfway through, one tear. By the end of the script that we crafted and worked so hard to make right for you after four years, I was crying. I could not hold it back, and I had to tell everyone. And my sister said, ‘No more crying. So I just want to say that sometimes, even the toughest guys in the world need to cry.”

“Fast Forever,” the 11th and final mainline film in the series, hits theaters on March 17, 2028. “Fast & Furious” is Universal’s longest-running franchise and it is most profitable, with a combined worldwide gross of 7.3 billion dollars.

While the actor Vin Diesel is all in on the latest “Fast Forever” draft, movie director Louis Leterrier recently told Polygon that he’s yet to read the script. “I’d love to tell you the full truth, but I can’t,” Leterrier said. “There will be an ending, and it’s great. I was very, very lucky to be part of the franchise, and I love Vin and I love Universal. They’re great to work with. So yeah. We’ll see, hopefully.”
