Yup, there's going to be a 'Fast & Furious' global arena tour

The Fast & Furious franchise can't be stopped. Starting in January 2018, fans of the global blockbuster series will be able to attend a live show recreating the most iconic stunts and scenes of the films.

Fast & Furious Live will be produced in partnership with Brand Events, which created worldwide Top Gear live shows.

Universal issued a press release describing the experience:

Fast & Furious Live brings to life the physics-defying stunts that have defined the eight-film franchise. Using the most advanced technology and featuring all the favorite cars from the blockbuster series, Fast & Furious Live will evoke the most audacious moments from the beloved series. Audiences will feel the heat from flaming exhausts and marvel at mind-blowing vehicular acrobatics as scene after scene unfolds with the most immersive, entertaining technology imaginable.

The arena tour is part of Universal's ongoing effort to create immersive experience for film fans, such as its theme park in Orlando.

“By bringing our series to audiences in entirely new formats, we are not simply growing brand portfolios, we are delivering incredibly exciting ways for fans to participate in the worlds our characters inhabit," said David O’Connor, Executive Vice President, Global Franchise Management and Brand Marketing, Universal Pictures.

To date, the Fast & Furious films have grossed almost $4 billion at the global box office, with at least three more installments on the way.

“Fast & Furious Live will transform the live-entertainment industry in the same way the global box-office franchise has redefined the action genre,” said Vince Klaseus, President, Universal Brand Development. “Fans will experience everything they love about the films in an up-close and incredibly cool live show, putting them in the center of the action.”
