Looks like we're in for a naming split again with the latest Fast And Furious movie. While in the States it'll be known as The Fate Of The Furious (F8, geddit?), the UK title appears to be the much less unusual Fast & Furious 8. Boo. Boo, sez us! Still, the first trailer has driven up, so check it out.

The eighth movie finds the crew seemingly in a relaxed place. Dom (Vin Diesel) and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) are on their honeymoon, and the rest of the crew are enjoying a chaos-free existence. But that's before a mysterious woman known as Cipher (http://www.empireonline.com/people/charlize-theron/) somehow entices Dom back into a world of crime – and has him shockingly betray the others. And there are also struggles ahead for Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), who finds himself behind bars with Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw...

Soon, the team is splintering and facing trials that will test them like never before. And these are people who have driven cars out of planes and between skyscrapers...

Hopping between Cuba, New York and the icy plains near the arctic Barents Sea, the race is on to stop an anarchist and somehow bring home the man who made them into an unlikely family.

F. Gary Gray is in the director's chair with Chris Morgan once more putting the words in the gang's mouth as the stunt team do ever madder things with assorted vehicles.

Whatever it finally ends up being called in your country, the eighth Fast film will be out on 14 April.
