Ahead of the trailer’s debut on Sunday, Universal announced that the eighth installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise will be titled The Fate of the Furious.
Directed by F. Gary Gray, the new chapter hits theaters on April 14th and features the return of Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, Nathalie Emmanuel, Elsa Pataky and Kurt Russell, as well as the additions of Charlize Theron, Scott Eastwood and Helen Mirren.
Leo then went on to explain how one of his goals for the short was to reach those who aren’t at a job they’re happy with. “How do those people feel, you know? I really sympathize with them. And I think it’s a way – it’s a love letter for them. For them to have hope, but at the same time we have to be practical too,” he said.
“So that’s why I think it’s ‘Inner Workings’, because the world as a whole doesn’t change. The character…because he changed, he ends up kind of – it’s contagious, he ends up kind of influencing the people around.”
The message of “Inner Workings” is ultimately that happiness and change come first from within. In a world that’s obsessed with work, with getting ahead, and with being on top, “Inner Workings” is a breath of fresh air that teaches both children and adults about the importance of self-care.
