Fast and Furious 8 to film in the Philippines

Still not enough of Fast and Furious franchise? Be prepared Fast and Furious 8 with the shooting in the Philippines.

Vin Diesel has truly fallen in love with the Philippines and the Filipinos’ warm and hospitable personality. The Hollywood actor wants to shoot the next “Fast And The Furious” in the Philippines, and said he will talk with its producers to make that possible.

And while it’s almost certain that most if not all of the original cast will return with possibly some new actors in tow, nothing much has really been revealed about the movie.

During the press junket of the “Fast & Furious 6″ in Fairmont, Makati, Diesel said he fell in love with the country and its people. He has already heard about the Philippines from his sister-in-law, who is a Filipina, but this is the first time he was able to visit the Southeast Asian country.

Diesel said he was very happy to know that “Fast & Furious 6″ was the first Hollywood movie to premiere in the Philippines. The next day after he arrived, the actor explored the city via a rented jeepney. Photos of the Hollywood star riding the said jeepney spread on social networking sites.

Unfortunately, no one was able to cover the said news, thus everything from the said publication should be taken with a grain of salt.

“Our tour here was so incredible that when I go back to LA and when we start doing, developing 7, 8, 9, I will tell Universal that I want to shoot in the Philippines. That is because of you,” Diesel said at the premiere night.

“This is the best premiere I’ve ever been to in my life. As you know my sister-in-law is from the Philippines and she told me to say this: ‘Mahal ko kayo.'”

Universal nor Vin Diesel has yet to comment on the news by Manila Live Wire as of press time.
