Filming for the highly anticipated action film sequel, "Fast 8," alternatively known as "Furious 8," has apparently already wrapped up. However, it seems like the production process may not have gone as smooth as expected as two of the film's cast members are reportedly at odds with each other. Although, as several reports have pointed out, a conflict was bound to happen given the amount of testosterone and the number of alpha males that are set to star in the upcoming movie.
Two of the biggest Hollywood actors that are starring in the film, Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, are reportedly not in speaking terms and could have had a possible exchange of words during the shooting of the film. Johnson even posted a rant on his Instagram account where he called out an unnamed actor for being unprofessional, among other adjectives that were used.
The former wrestling champion started his rant by thanking all of the film's producers and praising his female co-stars. However, he then mentioned that his "male co-stars however are a different story," saying, "Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't. The ones that don't are too chicken sh*t to do anything about it anyway. Candy a**es. When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I'm not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling – you're right."
In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Johnson reiterated his sentiments and mentioned that he was in no way regretful of his rant and he still stands by it. According to sources, the actor was in fact pointing to his co-star Vin Diesel in the rant. It was also revealed that the entire conflict reportedly started with Diesel's constant tardiness during filming. This apparently pissed off Johnson and the rest of the cast and crew. The source also told ET that Diesel and Johnson have not spoken to each other since the filming for "Fast 8" wrapped up.
"Fast 8" is scheduled to hit theaters on April 14, 2017. The eighth installment in the franchise will feature the return of the original cast along with new characters including Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Chris Bridges, Lucas Black, Scott Eastwood, Kurt Russell, Jason Statham and Charlize Theron.
