#VinDiesel says #FastForever starts filming in December:

“I had to go through four sets of writers, four years of development, to get to something that I felt would be worthy of a finale,” Diesel told Variety Monday night at the 25th anniversary screening of #TheFastAndTheFurious.

After the first movie became a hit, Diesel confesses he gave Universal Pictures some bad advice: “I did make a decision after the first film was released that I was wrong about: I told the studio never to do a sequel. I was worried that we were going to end up being #Grease2, which is cool, but I felt like if we did a sequel, we would never be a classic. How wrong was I?”
