Stills from the latest and final installment of the Fast and Furious franchise have been roaming around online. The latest is that of Dominic Torretto and Letty Ortiz sharing a candid moment together.
The movie has been renamed to Furious 7 representing the 7 major characters, Vin Diesel, the late Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris.
Jason Statham will play the major villain as Ian Shaw while singer Iggy Azalea will make a cameo appearance.
After Walker's tragic death, the writers opted his character to be retired instead of being killed in the film. Walker's brothers Caleb and Cody had been used as stand in's for their dear departed brother.
Vin Diesel has said about the new film that the characters are about to "go into a shadow world beyond what they could have ever imagined", although he didn't reveal exactly what he meant with that.
In another news, Diesel was recently presented with a gift from a fan of the franchise - a toy car, calling it "Paul Walker's car." The fan was a young boy who was very touched by the sudden death of Walker. Diesel was very touched and went emotional when the boy said "Paul Walker is with him." Walker's death was met with a lot of grief among fans and celebrities alike and Diesel was deeply affected by the loss of his brother. His death had halted the filming of Furious 7 while the crew tried to figure out on how to move on.
The film is expected to be released on April 3, 2015 and producers will step up their marketing efforts by February until the final release date.
