Didn't see that one coming.

I heard he was dead....

Wait a minute 7 AND 8? I thought 7 was suppose to be the last movie?

I'm more interested in this part of that article

The legendary Kurt Russell will be joining the cast along with other new recruits; action man Tony Jaa and Bollywood beauty Deepika Padukone.

Some Ong Bak levels of action will be fun.

F&F is now "Twilight for dudes"

Finally! (I made this reference in a previous post and no one got it)

BTW - the correct response is "you heard wrong!"

If you are a fan of Jackie Chan like extreme stunt action, Ong Bak is a must see! The first one. The sequels are not as good.

Hopefully he runs a crooked Used Car lot in the movie.

"What? That car? That car runs like new!"

In reply to SyntheticBlinkerFluid:

I just picked up that DVD at a rummage sale Friday for $1.50, haven't seen it in years.

"Another possibility is that 'Fast and Furious 8' goes science fiction" - I thought they already went that route? Who needs physics?

at 62 years old that might be a good role

You know what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like this?

Tony Jaa also choreographed Chocolate....excellent film in that genre

I'm pretty sure the plot of 8 will be the cast jumping Lake Victoria over the giant shark from that fake documentary.

It will still make a profit so long as the lovely Devon Aoki gets to make the jump, while yelling something about smacking her posterior

This is what I heard: Deepika Padukone

There's an Ingersoll Rand plant here, and I've got friends that work there who showed me a compressor they built that will be featured in the movie. Probably just in the background of a shot of a shop, but still cool.

This is getting ridiculous. I say they bring Kramer while they're at it

On DVD the fake commercials should be a lot more entertaining than they are when it's on broadcast TV.

So, they are planning their escape from this horrible franchise in the 8th movie?

Damn, he looks about as rough as me.

Best I can think up is he does the movie then Richard Dean Anderson takes over the role...
