Vin Diesel Hails 'Fast 11' as 'Best Script I Have Read in Decades'

Vin Diesel, a prominent star in the "Fast and the Furious" franchise, recently shared his high praise for the script of "Fast Forever," the eleventh mainline film. Diesel, who has previously referred to the project as a "grand finale" for the series, declared on Instagram that the script, penned by Michael Lesslie, is the "best script" he has encountered in decades.

The actor also teased that "Fast Forever" might revisit significant elements from the franchise's inception. This comes as the original 2001 film, "The Fast and the Furious," is set for a theatrical re-release on August 21st to commemorate its 25th anniversary. Diesel's social media has increasingly become the go-to source for franchise updates.

"Fast Forever" is officially slated for a March 17, 2027 release. This installment follows "Fast X," which was released in 2023 and faced production hurdles. Despite its challenges, "Fast X" achieved a worldwide gross of $704 million, making it the lowest-grossing mainline entry since "Fast Five" in 2011. "Fast X" concluded with a cliffhanger, setting the stage for future developments.
