There have been a lot of rumors surrounding what would happen to 7 Fast 7 Furious in the wake of Paul Walker’s death. All we really knew was that Universal was planning to finish the movie and that they were taking a break to figure out how exactly to make that happen. Now comes word of a release date. From, where else, Vin Diesel’s award-winning Facebook page.
Mr. Diesel posted the above picture along with the caption:
The last scene we filmed together…
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…
I’ve been refraining from making too much fun of Vin Diesel lately because I know he’s grieving and grief is weird and all of that, but honestly, “Paul Walker would’ve wanted people who Like Vin Diesel on Facebook to hear about the new release date of Fast and Furious 7 first” is really testing my restraint. Was that in his will? That seems very specific. You’re claiming some encyclopedic knowledge of the dead guy’s wishes at this point.
