FAST 8 RECASTS ABRUPTLY

READ THIS WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY OF THESE MOVIES AND I ONLY SKIMMED THE WIKIPEDIAS

Last week, news broke that there was tension amongst the star-studded cast of the action-drama Fast & Furious movie as they begin production on an eighth installment. In an Instagram post, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson obliquely referred to another member of the cast - widely interpreted to be franchise pillar Vin Diesel - as a "candy ass", reportedly due to the latter's absences and demands during filming.

Some thought the flap would blow over, and the needs of a tentpole movie series would win out over the conflicting egos of its boldface names.
