'Fast & Furious 7' to be released in April 2015 Paul Walker, with Fast and Furious co-star Vin Diesel. AFTER weeks of speculation, Fast & Furious 7 will be released in April 2015. The news, which comes three weeks after star Paul Walker's death in a car crash, was announced via Facebook by Walker's friend and co-star Vin Diesel. Fast & Furious 7 will be released... April 10th 2015! He'd want you to know first... Sharing an on-set photo ("the last scene we filmed together"), Diesel wrote to fans, "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..." Walker and his costars had been in the middle of filming the seventh installment of the mega-franchise when, following a charity event, he and friend Roger Rodas were killed in a car crash in California. Production on Fast and Furious 7, originally slated for a mid-2014 release, had been put on indefinite hold earlier this month as cast, crew and fans reeled from death. According to the The Hollywood Reporter, Walker will appear in the film - using footage shot before he died - but no other details were available. Read more at The Hollywood Reporter.
