'Fast & Furious 7' Trailer, Cast and Release Date: Production Finishes 8 Months After Paul Walker's Death, Team Thanks Fans on Facebook Page [Video]
After the early and unfortunate demise of the "Fast & Furious" movie franchise star Paul Walker, the seventh installment has finally found its way to the completion of its production.
Despite going through emotional turmoil and other difficulties, "Fast & Furious 7" was able to finish the required re-shoots and adjustments eight months after losing their star to a tragic accident.
A candid message was released by the production team via their Facebook page on Thursday to thank the fans for their support of the film despite the great difficulties they went through in completing the production.
The released statement is not a surprising move by the production team, as they have been extremely open to the fans of Paul Walker throughout the whole process. According to the team, there was a moment when they were uncertain if they could go on or if they should go on at all. However, with the overwhelming support from fans all over the world, they were inspired to work it through until the end.
"Fast & Furious 7" acquired the help and services of Paul Walker's brothers to take his place in several shots and the team also had to rewrite certain parts of the film to adjust it to the loss of Paul.
The cast and crew, who have been together for almost 15 years, consider each other to be family, which is evidenced by how well they have worked together on and off the screen for the past six films. As the years went by, their family has grown bigger with the addition of other actors including Dwayne, Luda, Tyrese, and Lucas.
For their final installment, the family has grown yet again with the addition of Paul's brothers Cody and Caleb who have filled in for his role. Although the "Fast and Furious" family has grown, it will never quite be whole again without their friend and their brother.
"Fast & Furious 7" will be released on theaters on April 3, 2015.
