Filming of “Fast & Furious 8” is reportedly coming along nicely, with reports indicating that the film is about ready to be previewed in its first trailer in a few months. It sounds like the crew has put a lot of hard work in this one, and fans are curious to see how the series is going to continue without the presence of Paul Walker. Despite the huge loss, we’re confident that the team has been able to deal with the situation, and the production isn’t going to be a disaster now that Walker is gone.
Still, we’ve been hearing some strange rumors about possible issues behind the scenes, specifically between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson. The two haven’t been on bad terms in general before, so it’s curious to hear that they are going through a misunderstanding. It all started with a post made by Dwayne Johnson on his Instagram, where he vaguely accused someone around him for having subpar professional standards, but didn’t specify who it was aimed at.
The actor went on to say that he was feeling quite upset at the moment, to the point where it would be obvious to his fans watching the movie, but we’re not sure if that was actually an exaggeration. Rumors indicate that the target of the post was actually Vin Diesel, as the two have been going through a very difficult phase lately, mostly due to Diesel’s reportedly difficult personality on the set.
It sounds like Dwayne Johnson is getting fed up with the situation, and fans of the two stars have decided to join the argument online, expressing their own views on the situation. Of course, if the two really are having an issue like that, it’s probably best if they kept it to themselves, and so did their fans. But at the same time, Johnson did address the public with his Instagram post, so the idea of keeping the issue private kind of went out the window at that point.
We don’t know how serious that situation is, but hopefully Diesel and Johnson will be able to iron out their issues before the big date of the film’s launch arrives, as many fans are looking forward to this release. They would obviously therefore also pay a lot of attention to the interactions between the different people involved in the film, so a scandal on the set can really ruin the mood for everyone.
According to some fans, it would also be disrespectful to the memory of Paul Walker to keep this argument going while the movie is coming out, so the two should really find a way to sort out their problems soon. We recently saw a group picture of the cast, showing them all seemingly happy, so it’s possible that the situation is now in the past and we’re only hearing about what has happened before.
“Fast & Furious 8” is expected to bring various changes to the formula of the film series, not just to adapt it to the death of Paul Walker, but also to keep things fresh in general. We’ve already seen seven installments of the franchise, and some have been received slightly less positively than others, so fans will need to see something a bit more interesting this time if the producers want to keep the door open for more releases in the future.
