The Fast and Furious franchise is confirmed to resume production at the end of the month, says E! News.

According to the report, Universal Productions has confirmed the earlier date and Fast and Furious 7 cast and crew are set to resume production March 31 in Atlanta. Production for the seventh installment of the franchise was on hiatus for 4 months following the death of actor Paul Walker in November.

Paul Walker's co-star, Vin Diesel, has also hinted on his Facebook account with a photo of him and the film's Brian O'Conner posted March 5, saying "We are going back in this month Pablo... I know you are with me..."

He also talked about Fast and Furious 7 resuming production in another post, saying "The transition into that Dom state of mind has always been an interesting one... only this time there is added purpose, a collective goal to make this the best one in the series." He also adds, "P.s. The long awaited completion of Seven, begins..."

Co-star Tyrese Gibson confirms that fans of the late actor will still see him in the upcoming Fast and Furious 7. The actor remarked in a Yahoo report, "Thank God close to 85 percent of the movie was shot with him in it. The fans are really going to feel like they're still experiencing Paul Walker and Brian O'Conner in this franchise and make the best of it."

The Hollywood Reporter has previously reported that Walker will still be in the film, saying that the director, James Wan, and writers Chris Morgan and Jeffrey Kirschenbaum have "devised a plan to tweak the existing script so that Walker would remain a part of the story but could be written out, allowing the franchise to continue without him."

Fast and Furious 7 is scheduled for release next year, April 10.
