In the post he writes:
Many of the crew members who have worked on several of the past Fast films are here again to help us make something special. One of them at the end of the week came up to me and said 'wow what we are capturing on film is excellent...' And then looked at me and said Paul would be proud.

Vin Diesel has been very public about his struggles to cope with Walker's death after the actor died in a 2013 car crash. Diesel even named his daughter Pauline after his friend.
The fate of the franchise was up in the air following Walker's accident -- the film dealt with the character by showing his "retirement." But after the box office success of Furious 7, it was decided to add three final films to the series.
Furious 8 is set to be released on April 14, 2017.
