Last month, actor Paul Walker was victim in a car accident that would lead to his unfortunate passing this holiday. The Fast and the Furious film series was originally planned for a July 11th release in 2014 for its seventh installment, but the loss of Walker put Universal Pictures in a bad spot. The studio in recent weeks has contemplated whether to cancel the series or find an alternate method of still releasing one of their biggest budget films ever.
Earlier today, Vin Diesel revealed on his Facebook page, the film is now slated for April 10, 2015. Paul Walker will still appear in the upcoming action film, but details regarding how the films writers to plan to write off Walker’s character haven’t been confirmed.
