Universal sets Release Date for Fast and the Furious 7

In some eagerly awaited news, Universal has finally set a date for the release of the next installment on the Fast and the Furious Movies. With the death of actor Paul Walker at the end of November in a horrific car crash in a Southern California Industrial Park, filming of 7^th film has hit major snags. Thankfully with Walker’s younger brother stepping into the roll for his brother, which will be shot at long distance, and use CGI effects to correct visuals, the movie studio may have avoided biting the bullet on this its biggest movie franchise.  The first to find out about the new release date were fans of Vin Diesel’s Facebook page where he announced a release date of April 15^th, 2015 for the sequel. 

Previously fans have watched the other Fast and Furious through download movie options or in the theatres, and it has generated major income for the studio, to the tune of $2.3 billion dollars worldwide. And Vin Diesel has hinted that there may be a further 3 or 4 movies yet to come. Of course that was before Walker’s death and the studio may have to readjust its forecasts for the future of the action franchise with the massive global following. 

Fast and the Furious 6 now Available

Fans of the last movie which came out in the summer of this year will now be able to download movie content from the film in the New Year. The movie is another heist and action film, having long since abandoned its principal Los Angeles street racing theme, and takes place in worldwide locations such as London, and Spain. This was used to great effect in Fast Five, which was another awesome heist movie which was set in Brazil. The next movie in the franchise is rumoured to be using Dubai and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates to film its climatic ending sequences. These were the shots which Paul Walker did not live long enough to shoot.
