‘Fast & Furious 7´ Set for Spring 2015

Ever since Paul Walker‘s tragic passing, it’s been a given that Universal’s Fast & Furious 7 would be pushed back. The only question was when it’d be pushed back to. Officially, the studio’s avoided saying anything concrete. But **w, thanks to star Vin Diesel, we have the answer: Spring 2015. Hit the jump for more details.
Diesel offered the update on his Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152194488743313&set=np.78072438.1488450099&type=1&theater&**tif_t=**tify_me) page, as he is wont to do. The post consisted of the photo above, with the following caption (emphasis ours):
The last scene we filmed together…
There was a unique sense of completion, of pride we shared… in the film we were **w completing… the magic captured… and, in just how far we’ve come…
Fast and Furious 7 will be released…
April 10th 2015!
P.s. He’d want you to k**w first…
Lest you think this is just Diesel getting ahead of himself, HitFix (http://www.hitfix.com/motion-captured/vin-diesel-reveals-new-fast-and-furious-7-release-date-via-facebook-2) reports that they have reached out to Universal and the studio has confirmed that this is indeed the new release date. Previously, the film was scheduled to debut*July 11, 2014.
Walker’s death came about halfway through production, leaving the project in a sticky situation. Shooting was halted as the filmmakers scrambled to figure out how they could work around Walker’s death while still giving the late star his due.
To that end, a few different options have been explored. Chris Morgan has recently been working on a revised script (http://www.slashfilm.com/chris-morgan-revising-fast-furious-7-script-shooting-could-resume-in-january/) that’d allow director James Wan to use the footage of Walker that had already been shot, rather than scrapping everything (http://www.slashfilm.com/fast-fast-furious-6-dvd-proceeds-to-go-to-charity/) and starting over entirely. There was also a recent rumor (http://www.slashfilm.com/rumor-paul-walkers-brother-to-help-with-fast-and-furious-7/) that Walker’s brother Cody Walker could serve as a stand-in.
Nine months is a pretty significant delay, but hopefully it’ll give the filmmakers plenty of time to get the project back on track. The schedule was a tight one even before Walker’s accident. As of a couple of weeks ago, the studio’s tentative plan was to resume filming in January.
