'Furious 7' has only just raced to the top of the global box office taking over $1 billion worldwide in the last appearance for Walker who died in a tragic unrelated car crash mid-way through filming.
'We're going to make the best movie you've ever seen' Diesel told the CinemaCon movie confab in Las Vegas cited by industry journal the Hollywood Reporter which said the eighth movie will come out on April 14 2017.
Diesel recalled announcing the seventh movie with Walker at the same event.

'It really hit home for me when my friend died in a very similar situation' Puth said in an interview Wednesday. 'Paul Walker's incident was devastating so I thought about Paul and my friend. I sat down at the piano played those chords and those words just fell out of me.'
It took Puth about 10 minutes to write the hook of the song paying homage to Walker who was killed in a car crash in 2013. Puth and Khalifa beat out a number of artists who submitted their lyrics and vocals for a Walker tribute song.
