"Fast 8" Becomes "The Fate of the Furious": New Trailer Here

The last couple of weeks has seen a flurry of trailers being released for next year's summer blockbusters but the latest one is possibly the most crazy, action packed trailer yet and has almost had the most promotion.

Over the past week, social media has been abuzz with new details of the eighth film in the Fast and the Furious franchise. We found out that next year's instalment, the film we previously knew as Fast 8, now is officially titled The Fate of the Furious, but that's not all... we were also treated to a video, a new poster and a teaser for the full trailer which was released last night.

Last Monday, @FastFurious gave us a slightly emotional look back on Twitter, of the Fast franchise with Vin Diesel and friends who stressed the importance to family within the series.

Then on Friday, Twitter gave us a fifteen second peak at the trailer to come, telling us to tune in to the full trailer, due to be streamed live on Facebook but that was yesterday though, sorry!

It’s official! The title of #F8 is THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS. Tune-in live on @Facebook this Sunday for the trailer debut! pic.twitter.com/EtTwdcxtpX

And yesterday on Instagram, the first poster for the movie was released with the words "Family no more." A conflict with last Monday's video?

Finally, last night we were shown the new trailer in all its beauty, and here it is...

Family no more. Now it makes sense. For someone who puts importance on why, Dom must have a reason for going against his own beliefs. In this internationally set movie that stretches from the arctic to Cuba, the franchise has seemingly been flipped upside down as Dom works with (or is it for?) the international terrorist Cypher, played by Charlize Theron. This returns Dom's relationship with Hobbs to that of Fast Five - the hunted and the hunter, but one constant does remain: the themes of action and destruction, with even more buildings, cars and even the arctic ice sheet smashed. 

The Fate of the Furious is due for release on the 14th of April,
