Vin Diesel has confirmed that the "Fast & Furious" series will end with "one last trilogy". There were reports that the next film in the franchise - Furious 8 - was having trouble locking down a director. The star, who has been a producer on the franchise since 2008, has now tried to clarify the situation in a post on Facebook. "The fans of the Fast & Furious SAGA are the best fans in the world. Since I became the Producer in 2008, you have been with me every step of the way. literally giving me feedback that proved invaluable. Thank you," he wrote. https://www.facebook.com/VinDiesel/photos/a.101465923312.101581.89562268312/10153751943423313/?type=3&theater "My producing partner Neal would love for me to just sign off on a director, but this is too special a franchise, so these matters have to be very carefully handled. To be clear, NO ONE has been offered to helm Fast 8 yet. let alone seen a script." "Universal has been so good to me and so trusting of the vision. they have been like family. I promised the studio I would deliver one last Trilogy to end the saga." [related-post] He added that he would "announce the directors on his next post".
