Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) is once again the main character of the movie but this time he has blood family to contend with as his seemingly bitter brother turns up in the shape of John Cena.
The action in the trailer is, as the title suggests, Fast and Furious and we are treated to no end of stunts and action set pieces on the no holds barred trailer.
The regular crew is all present including Charlize Theron, Michelle Rodriguez and Helen Mirren to name but a few of the familiar faces who pop up in the trailer.
To announce the trailer Universal Pictures treated us to a lavish live concert featuring top musical artists like Cardi B, Wiz Khalifa ad Charlie Puth.
the last couple of entries in the series have grossed over a Billion dollars at the box office so this movie has a lot to live up to.
Directed once again by series regular Justin Lin the movie is set for release 22nd May 2019.
The summers is well and truly over so let's look back at which movies were the biggest over the summer period in the UK, and the surprise hit that kept the big budget films at bay.
Before the summer started it was expected in the UK that there would be a title fight for 2008 between the Batman movie The Dark Knight (or the Joker movie depending on your view) and Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, although these films gave a really good run for their money it was a more gentle film with a fraction of the budget which has drawn the crowds at the box office.
The year has seen sleeper hit Mamma Mia! take the summer crown at the box office, a film based on the stage play of the same name, it is basically a platform the music of ABBA taking the narrative through a love story about marriage and long lost love. There are no guns or big action set pieces in the film, and Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan lend their voices to various hits from the Swedish group during the movie.
Although it could have been predicted that the film would do well with all the ABBA fans in the UK it has been a runaway success and 10 weeks after release the film has not been outside the top 3 film on the UK box office spending most of it's time at number 2, the film has taken at least a £1 million on each of it's first 10 weeks of release.
With Mama Mia! simply clearing up at the box office who has lost out? It was a year of very little blockbuster on the slate, the biggest of which were expecting to be The Dark Knight and the new Indiana Jones movie, these did well but the bigger of these two, The Dark Knight, is going to be well over £10 million behind the ABBA sing-along.
There is every likelihood that Mamma Mia! will end up as the second biggest grossing film in the UK (behind the 10 year old Titanic) but on the world stage it's been a good ride for the movie but not a great one. An average performer in the US where it made $142 million dollars, which helped boost it's world gross to $498,795,370, it may well get to $500 million before it's end of life.
