Jay Beezy Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) I know this speaks more to the lack of black filmmakers, but it does bother me how it's so assumed he'll get the call to make Black Panther (and probably not any other superhero movie). He could end up doing both Fast 8 and Black Panther. The former opens in April 2017 and the latter July 2018.

WrathOfHan Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I wanted Gary for Black Panther. He could still do Black Panther, it won't release until July 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimisawesome Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 CJohn, on 05 Oct 2015 - 6:04 PM, said: Not if Marvel steps up. Fast is a bigger franchise then anything Marvel has outside of the Avengers. Along with being a much better and more important then any other franchise out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acab Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I'm team Wingard but i see Gray getting the job. Still i don't see much difference no matter who makes it. They're sticking with the formula. Lin's absence from the last one wasn't noticeable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowhite Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Gray I could live with. Heck he's done a car movie. He has some street sensibility I suppose you could call it. The other guy, well, don't know him... But he's not Louis Leterrier, so he wins. In case I wasn't clear, I don't want Louis Letterier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Letterier is the guy you want when you have a movie that needs to be completed within a deadline, on budget and with minimal pushback. He will continue getting jobs making "safe" studio movies because of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I am willing to bet two Likes with someone that it is Leterrier who gets the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he's not terrible...even though some of his movies are (ah hem Transporter 2)...but he's a creative void. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to see that happen. He has directed a car stunt more absurd, stupid, and ridiculous than anything in the Fast series. Though I'm not saying that as a compliment.

babz06 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Apparently, it's F. Gary Gray, not officially confirmed yet. http://deadline.com/2015/10/furious-8-director-f-gary-gray-vin-diesel-gary-gray-directing-1201567883/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the director of one of the best comedies of all time. And a car movie that, well, ok it's not very good but it did well and the car shit is fun.

bapi Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Yeah. Pretty much. I mean he's not terrible...even though some of his movies are (ah hem Transporter 2)...but he's a creative void. To be fair to Louie, both TIH and Titans were affected by studio execs a lot then he moved to Sony and Rothman happened... Quite unlucky. And to be honest with these F&F movies directors make literally no difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rman823 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 As a fan of Compton, Italian Job. and Friday, (I even find The Negotiator and Law Abiding Citizen to be alright) I would be fine with Gray. Plus it will be a reunion with Statham from Italian Job and Johnson from Be Cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
