Paul Walker's Brothers to help in production for Fast and Furious 7

As many of you know, the death of actor Paul Walker has greatly affected the production of Fast & Furious 7. It is both Paul Walker and Vin Diesel's characters that both share the spotlight as the ones that embody this movie series. The loss of Paul Walker meant that there would be major changes to be made. There were various theories as to how the production would handle Walker's loss; will they kill off the character? Will they use computer graphics to edit his remaining scenes? The filming that halted last November has recently resumed. The solution lies on Paul Walker's siblings, Caleb and Cody Walker, who will both step in for the role (on the remaining unshot scenes). Fast & Furious 7 is scheduled for an April 2015 release. [hit the jump to continue]

Despite its recent crisis as a result of the death of Paul Walker, it looks like the 7th FAST and FURIOUS movie will proceed with as much Walker footage as possible.

Fast and Furious 7 Production May Be Scrapped and Start Over in Wake of Paul Walker's Death

When actor Paul Walker tragically died this past weekend, it put the production of James Wan's Fast and Furious 7 in a difficult place. The movie is currently only halfway through production, and Walker's character, Brian O'Conner, plays a crucial role in the plot. Surely the filmmakers and folks over at Universal Pictures have been meeting over the last few days to figure out exactly how to move forward, and while many options are being weighed, according to sources at The Wrap one possibility is that the production will scrap everything that has been done so far and start from scratch.

Fast & Furious 7 Cast Rundown; plus, Our Fast & Furious Continuity Guide

The casting line-up for FAST & FURIOUS 7 is starting to look like The Expendables, and not only because Jason Statham is joining the cast, but because it's starting to be occupied by big names (we'll get to that a little later in the article). Actually, Lucas Black is not a big name, but he was the main protagonist in The "Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" which introduced Justin Lin on the director's chair of the franchise and successfully took it and and take off to evolve into this massively popular action movie franchise (with "Fast & Furious", "Fast Five", and "Furious 6"). Now, Black is back to reprise his role Sean Boswell from 'Tokyo Drift', joining Dominic Toretto and his team. Along with Jason Statham, the new cast include Djimon Honsou (best known for his roles in "Gladiator"and "Amistad"),  popular Indian and Bollywood film actress and model Deepika Padukone, female mixed martial artist and UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey, English actress Nathalie Emmanuel (best known as Khaleesi's interpreter in Game of Thrones) and Thai martial arts superstar Tony Jaa, best known as the star of the Ong Bak movies. There's a really strong rumor that Kurt Russel is also included in the cast, but because it is not yet officially confirmed, my best bet is that it's going to be a small role, or perhaps another teaser appearance for the next movie (just like Statham at the end of part 6). FAST & FURIOUS 7 is scheduled for a July 2014 release. [hit the jump to continue, and check out our Fast & Furious continuity guide]

Justin Lin to leave the Fast and Furious series after Fast 6; James Wan to continue franchise

The Fast & Furious movies have been getting bigger and better. I would probably put all the thanks to Justin Lin. He made the third movie in this franchise such an interesting unique sequel (semi prequel). He made the Fourth one a hit. And then he made Fast Five phenomenal. Now, however, it seems that Fast 6 will be his last movie in the series, and the studios have chosen James Wan (of the Saw movies) to take his place. [click below to read the rest of the article]

Dwayne Johnson's Agent Hobbs character from the Fast & Furious series may get his own movie

Agent Hobbs Spin-off Movie
Dwayne Johnson was an excellent addition to the Fast & Furious series when Fast Five came out, so much so that there’s been talk of his Luke Hobbs character getting his own spinoff film.  Way back in January 2011, producer Neal Moritz said that they were “about to” get a script together for the Hobbs movie, and Johnson himself has been keen on the idea.  Johnson has a key role in this year’s Fast & Furious 6, as his DSS agent enlists Vin Diesel’s car-thieving crew to help him combat a rival team of thieves in Europe in return for Diesel and Co.’s full pardons.  Now Johnson has provided an update on the standalone Hobbs movie, suggesting it might come in between Fast 6 and the inevitable Fast & Furious 7.
