This is the first film in the series since Tokyo Drift (2006) not to star Paul Walker as Brian O'Conner, following his death in November 2013.
With an estimated production budget of up to $270 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made.
Principal photography began in March 2016 in locations such as Mývatn, Havana, Atlanta, Cleveland, and New York City, continuing the franchise's tradition of filming around the world. Composer Brian Tyler, who had scored the third, fourth, fifth, and seventh installments, returned to compose the score. In October, Gray was announced to direct the film in the place of James Wan, who had directed the previous installment. After setting an initial release date in that same month, casting took place between April and June. Preparations for the film began immediately before the release of Furious 7, with Diesel, Morgan, and producer Neal H. The eighth installment was planned since 2014, and plot details were first announced in March 2015 when Diesel appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and announced that the film would be set in New York City.
