Dubai movie fans and car enthusiasts will have a chance to appear in the next instalment of Fast & Furious.
The movie franchise, which saw the release of Fast & Furious 6 in May this year, will be casting for actors in the emirate in September, according to an American audition website.
The Universal Pictures film will also be partly shot in Dubai as well as Tokyo and the US. The news, revealed on Monday on www.acting-auditions.org, said casting calls will be going out in Los Angeles for starring, co-starring and supporting roles for the film.
“Shooting will also take place in Tokyo and Dubai. The extras will be cast near the locations where filming will take place. Principal photography commences September 2013.”
The seventh installment in the car movie franchise, starring actor Vin Diesel, will be directed by the Malaysian-born Australian filmmaker James Wan. It is expected to hit theatres on July 2014.

Financial considerations before buying a property
Buyers should try to pay as much in cash as possible for a property, limiting the mortgage value to as little as they can afford. This means they not only pay less in interest but their monthly costs are also reduced. Ideally, the monthly mortgage payment should not exceed 20 per cent of the purchaser’s total household income, says Carol Glynn, founder of Conscious Finance Coaching.
“If it’s a rental property, plan for the property to have periods when it does not have a tenant. Ensure you have enough cash set aside to pay the mortgage and other costs during these periods, ideally at least six months,” she says.
Also, shop around for the best mortgage interest rate. Understand the terms and conditions, especially what happens after any introductory periods, Ms Glynn adds.
Using a good mortgage broker is worth the investment to obtain the best rate available for a buyer’s needs and circumstances. A good mortgage broker will help the buyer understand the terms and conditions of the mortgage and make the purchasing process efficient and easier.
