An emotional post has been shared on the Fast And Furious 8 official Facebook page featuring an image of the complete cast and crew members. The post also mentioned that filming for the eighth edition of the movie was nearing its end.

"For our final #FastFridayspost, all of us in the Fast Family wanted to thank you for coming on the ride with us during this epic production," the post read.

"We began in Cuba, visited Iceland, New York and Atlanta, and as we head into our final few days of shooting, we wanted to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to those who have worked so hard over the past 100 days to bring you a movie that is going to be another incredible installment of our saga. Everything we do comes from our shared passion to bring you the very best," it continued.

The post then went on to thank its cast members. "Thank you Vin [Diesel], who has been at the wheel since this journey began, first as star and then as producer... And thanks to all of the cast of the eighth Fast: Michelle, who's also been with us from the start... Those who've joined our family along the way: Tyrese and Chris from Miami in our second film; Dwayne and Elsa, who came on board in Rio in movie five; Jason, Nathalie and Kurt from last time around; and our newest members Charlize, Scott, Kristofer and Helen..."

The Fast 8 family also paid tributes to late actor Paul Walker and extended its gratitude to new director F. Gary Gray. "And our brother who continues to inspire us all, Paul. We extend our gratitude to our new director F. Gary Gray, producers Neal Moritz and One Race Films, writer Chris Morgan, and the hundreds of awesome, dedicated crew members who worked their asses off."

The post then went on to confirm that the first look at Fast 8, possibly a trailer would be released in December.
