Filming begins next month and the release date has been set for July 11, 2014. Here is what Tony Jaa had to say about starring in the sequel:

"I have been a big fan of the Fast and Furious franchise. The films are fast paced, fun and keep the audience involved. There is a great mix of humor and action, something I really appreciate. There is no better film to be involved in for a first U.S. studio production. Having a chance to work with Vin Diesel and The Rock already makes me a winner."
