Check out two new images from Fast & Furious 7, featuring both Vin Diesel and Paul Walker in the film.
Just yesterday, Vin Diesel proved once again why he has such a good ability to reach to fans and followers so well via social media. For that, he simply was revealing some epic beard shots from his new movie with Rose Leslie, The Last Witch Hunter. But for his latest salvo of press images, there is the sense of legacy and history with Fast & Furious 7. It is a collection of stills that includes, Vin Diesel, as well as the late, and greatly missed, Paul Walker.
Fast & Furious 7 is the carefully calibrated sequel to the increasingly popular global franchise that has made tracks around the world. It also marks the first film in the series directed by Conjuring and Insidious helmer James Wan. He is taking over for Justin Lin who has directed all the installments since Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), taking the franchise to its current blockbuster status.
It also sadly marks the final picture of star Paul Walker’s career. One half of the one-two punch that is Vin Diesel and Mr. Walker, the actor died in a car collision in November 2013.
Prior to his death, Walker participated with director James Wan and the rest of the cast and crew in completing about half of the scenes for Fast & Furious 7, which purportedly was originally to be heavily focused on Brian O’Conner’s character. Over the course of December, Wan and writers Chris Morgan, and Jeffrey Kirschenbaum poured over footage in an attempt to find a way to use some of his scenes.
The result has led to reshoots that understandably delayed the film from its original July 11, 2014 release date until April 3, 2015. As a tribute to Walker, brothers Caleb Walker and Cody Walker are also set to appear in Fast & Furious 7.
