The long running franchise hit a bump following the death of the franchise star, Paul Walker. But Universal is back on track and has plans to create more “Fast & Furious” films. The next movie, “Fast 8” is now in production.
“Fast & Furious” will be coming back with not 1 but 3 more installments of the film franchise. Universal’s hugely successful franchise is getting back in gear and beginning production of the 8th film in what is planned to be a 10 film series. Recent news has hinted that “Fast 8” will be the 1st film in a trilogy that will bring an end to the “Fast & Furious” story. The news came by way of Vin Diesel’s Instagram account, where he announced the release dates for the 3 final films. “Fast 8: New Roads Ahead” will be released in theaters on April 14, 2017. Fast & Furious 9 will come out 2 years after on April 19,2019 and Fans will have to wait until the next decade for the finale, “Fast 10″ which is set to hit theaters on April 2, 2021.
Deadline announced that the next film is being set in NYC and with the long standing embargo now lifted from Cuba, there are rumors that the project may be shooting a few scenes there as well. Parts of the movie will also be filmed in the Atlanta area and the casting calls for extras have just come out for Atlanta.
The movie’s Atlanta area extras casting directors are getting a jump start on this one. Filming in Atlanta is still many weeks away but the call has gone out to fill some specialty background roles. Rose Locke Casting of Atlanta is looking for locals who have real military or police experience to portray “action operatives” and some fierce and gorgeous ladies who would like to fill some small, non-speaking roles in “Fast 8.” The movie will be filming in Atlanta during the months of May, June and July 2016.
Interested talent may follow the directions below to submit their photos and information to the casting directors. Please note that the casting notice below is only for talent living in Atlanta and they will not consider talent out of the area since no travel expenses are being paid.
