Vin Diesel, co-star of the late actor Paul Walker, revealed the new release date for Fast and Furious 7 on Facebook on Monday.
"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."
Diesel added that the
forthcoming film will be out on April 10 2015, with the note, "He'd want
you to know first" to his 58 million Facebook fans.
Filming on Fast and Furious 7 was delayed after Walker died in a car
crash in November. Walker had appeared in all the previous six Fast and
Furious films as Brian O'Conner, a former criminal-turned-policeman. He
was due to return to the film set in Atlanta with Diesel and fellow cast
member Dwayne Johnson after Thanksgiving, but filming was halted after
his crash the previous weekend.
Production was then shut down on the film temporarily so the crew and members of Universal Studios could "assess all options available to move forward with the franchise".
The original release date was July 11 2014. Although most of the filming had taken place for Fast and Furious 7 by the time of Walker's death, the cast and crew were set to finish shooting in Abu Dhabi in January.
There have been no further updates on how Walker's death has affected the script or plot of Fast and Furious 7.
