Think you’re ready? You’re not ready. Fast & Furious Live will utilize the most advanced technology available to bring audiences into the action. Per the official announcement:
“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.”
And if that wasn’t enough to make you break out in a cold sweat of anticipation, there’s more: Arenas around the world will be transformed using blockbuster set design, authentic digital projections, and state-of-the-art physical obstacles, into the underground streets of Los Angeles and other hallmark locations from the franchise that crisscross the globe.
And, yes, ALL of the fan-favorite cars from the Fast & Furious movies will be there, as precision performance drivers recreate the most pulse-pounding stunts from the beloved series. Mind. Blown.
Fast & Furious Live is being created by the same team who did Top Gear Live, if you’ve seen or heard of it — expect this to be like that on steroids.
“We’re incredibly proud to announce our partnership with Universal. Together, with a groundbreaking show, we will be bringing Fast & Furious to life in arenas around the world. This is set to be the most spectacular live-automotive production in history,” Executive producer James Cooke-Priest could be heard saying as his souped-up Dodge Charger burst through the nose cone of a burning aircraft at 30,000 ft.
