Vin Diesel Reveals New ‘Fast And Furious 7’ Release Date

Briefly: In the wake of Paul Walker’s tragic death just a few weeks ago, the seventh chapter in the Fast and the Furious series was put on an indefinite hold, and if rumours can be believed, nearly cancelled completely.

Series star and Paul’s close friend, Vin Diesel, revealed on his official Facebook page an image from the final scene that the pair shot together, and also announced the new release date for the film. Here is the text in full:

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…

There you have it. The film hasn’t been cancelled (which director James Wan had already announced), and instead has moved from its original release date of July 11, 2014 to April 10th, 2015. Take a look at the image Diesel shared below, and let us know your thoughts on the change.
