‘Fast And Furious 7’ Spoilers: Paul Walker Confirms ‘FF8!’ Franchise Pioneer Was Scared Of ‘Insidious’ Director—Now Thinks He’s A Cool Guy!

Paul Walker was with "The Fast and The Furious." He saw the franchise almost fold, and now it has soared to unexpected heights.

He shares his feelings about the latest installment and working with the new director, James Wan of 'Insidious' and 'The Conjuring' fame. In a candid but revealing interview with Collider:

"Maybe this is just horrible bad, but I think I've had enough successes to where the journey is more important to me now.  There's no guarantee, no matter what.  We get one run in life.  I don't want to work with douchebags.  I wanna work with good people.  I don't want to work with screaming, yelling directors who've got daddy issues.  I just don't want to deal with those guys.  James is really excited on set.  He's just a cool guy.  There wasn't nearly enough time for prep.  We got it going way too fast, like we always do.  There are times where he was barely able to keep up with it because it was moving so quick, but you'd never know it because he won't reveal it.  He's a little ninja.  He's a little assassin warrior.  Justin was the same way.  He has the heart of a lion.  I'm really, really impressed with James, as a person.  The shots and what he comes up with, there's a certain fluidity.  He definitely has a look.  He's a shooter.  He has good movement.  I like his angle and composition, and the way he looks at things.  He's a talented guy.  We'll see what happens.  He deserves a victory, I'll tell you that."

Walker also gave us the all-important confirmation that there will be a Fast and Furious 8. It ends all speculation and starts all sort of new ones.

"Well, the studio supposedly wants 8, 9 and 10.  I'll be 50.  Even if 7 were to [tank], there's at least an 8.  That's a guarantee.  The thing that's pretty crazy is that neither Vin nor I were going back to do the third one.  They were going to do a direct-to-video 4.  They were going to dispose it and be done with it.  But then, Vin was like, "No, I'll come in for a cameo," because it wasn't testing well.  He wanted to set up the fourth one and the studio went for it, and we got a second life.  It was supposed to be done already."
