The Release Date OF FAST AND FURIOUS 7
Even after the delay created by the death of Paul Walker, Universal felt comfortable circling April 10, 2015 as a release date for the seventh Fast & Furious film. It is the continued effort of the Hollywood system to push the "Summer" blockbuster season a little earlier each year (as they did with the April 4 bow of Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier). Maybe Universal realized that the date can work really well for a sequel? Because the studio announced that fans will get to climb behind the wheel one week earlier.Fast & Furious 7 will be in theaters on April 3, 2015.
Paul Walker
When Paul Walker died in a car crash in Los Angeles on Nov. 30, 2013, the Fast & Furious 7 team lost a crucial member of its family. Walker, obviously, was a cornerstone of the franchise, and had been an integral part to every sequel since the series started in 2001. From what we understand, producers considered scrapping the sequel entirely. They discussed starting over. But they wanted to give Walker’s character, Brian O’Conner, a proper send off. They decided to rewrite the film, to allow O’Conner to retire from the story. But as we saw in the trailer, he still will be a vital cog in the Fast machine.Reaching any other conclusion without having Walker available proved difficult, but not impossible.
The Villain
Now that Fast & Furious 7 is back on track, fans can begin to wonder what they’re actually going to get in the story.
While we all will be heading into the theaters with a heavy heart as we prepare to say goodbye to Paul Walker, this series exists to keep us on the edge of our seats with vehicular insanity, and the plot of Fast & Furious 7 shouldn’t detour too far from the formula. If you stayed through the end credits of Fast & Furious 6, you saw the series, finally marry timelines with Tokyo Drift, which existed years AFTER some of the adventures Paul Walker and Vin Diesel were on. We saw the death of racer Han (Sung King), and we learned who killed him. It’s Jason Statham, playing Ian Shaw. He’s furious (pun intended) that Dom (Diesel) and his crew just killed Ian’s brother, Owen Shaw (played by Luke Evans). Ian makes a phone call to Dom as the credits roll, saying, "You don’t know me. You’re about to." In the process, Fast & Furious 7 is completely set up as a revenge epic, where Dominic Toretto (Diesel), Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) and their crew have to contend with the sibling of the criminal they just eliminated. But who is coming along for the ride?
