‘Fast And Furious 7’ Release Date Pushed For April 2015, Vin Diesel Confirms

The "Fast and Furious 7" release date has been pushed back by almost a year following the death of Paul Walker. Vin Diesel remembered the late star in a post on Facebook he shared with his fans with a photo attached (pictured above) of him and Walker on the set of the action film. "The last scene we filmed together," Diesel wrote. "There was a unique sense of completion, of pride we shared… in the film we were now 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 know first…"

Originally slated to open on July 11, 2014, production of the James Win directed film was forced to shut down. “Right now, all of us at Universal are dedicated to providing support to Paul's immediate family and our extended Fast & Furious family of cast, crew and filmmakers," Universel said in a statement. "At this time we feel it is our responsibility to shut down production on 'Fast & Furious 7' for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise. We are committed to keeping Fast & Furious fans informed, and we will provide further information to them when we have it. Until then, we know they join us in mourning the passing of our dear friend Paul Walker."

Paul Walker had been working on his new movie "Fast And Furious 7" in the weeks prior to his death. The 40-year-old actor had been spotted shooting scenes of film set for release in the summer of 2014. With the upcoming release of "Fast And Furious 6" in Blu-ray, one of the extras the disc contains is a scene from the sequel and that footage has now leaked online. "The scene in question is the gang at Han's funeral. If you were hoping that his death at the end of Fast & Furious 6 was a misdirect, it looks like you're out of luck," Movies.com wrote. "He's dead for real, and it's hit the gang hard. There aren't any tears shed (they're all too manly for that), but Vin Diesel does croak out 'You were always my brother, Han. He put you in this grave, so now I'll do the same to him.'"
