1 weeks away! Furious 7 opens next weekend

Furious 7 is on tap for next weekend. This seventh installment to the highly anticipated street racing movie franchise represents Paul Walker's last stand ever. Unfortunately, Paul Walker passed away in a fiery car accident in Valencia, California in 2013. This tragedy stalled out Furious 7 until the studio, director James Wan, and the rest of the FF team could figure out the right path to take with Furious 7.

Based on the recent movie trailers, Furious 7 is ready to make a huge splash next weekend. When we say huge, we are talking about massive box office ticket sales. This Furious 7 movie will make big money in its first 3-days in release. Midnight showings will start the race off, carrying forward well into the weekend box office.

Major actors are starring in Furious 7. Kirk Russell and Jason Statham joined the Fast and Furious movie franchise. We suspect Lucas Black will reappear in Furious 7, adding another dimension to this complex plot line established in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

See yall next weekend. Furious 7 opens on April 4, 2015.

Fast & Furious trailer launch party tomorrow, November 1, 2014!

It's official? Director James Wan is set to unveil Fast & Furious 7 movie trailer tomorrow on the Fast & Furious Facebook page at 12p.m. and on E! Exactly 11 months to this day, we lost Paul Walker too soon. We're sure he would be proud of this high octane Fast & Furious 7 movie.

James Wan has already shared images and a few clips from the upcoming Fast & Furious 7. Expect millions of people to visit this Facebook page to watch an awesome movie trailer. Fast & Furious 7 is due out in theaters on April 3, 2015.

Fast & Furious 7 is now in post-production. FF fans are eagerly awaiting the birth of Fast and Furious 7, the last Paul Walker movie due out in theaters on April 3, 2015. This high octane racing and heist movie combined these genre ingredients to drive the franchise into mega stardom. Paul Walker and Vin Diesel represented Fast and Furious movies with the highest respect, pouring their hearts into these awesome films since the high powered The Fast and the Furious movie glorified street racing in 2001.

James Wan joined Fast and Furious last year after delivering two knockout punches in the box office. The Conjuring and Insidious Chapter II both opened at $40+ million in the weekend box office, representing box office records for one director in the same year. No director before James Wan has opened two movies in the same year at $40+ million, let alone having two movies falling into the horror genre. James Wan and Paul Walker instantly clicked, where Walker shared in an interview before his passing that he considered James a "G" for his work ethics and confidence.

The unexpected death of the Fast and Furious protagonist, Paul Walker, changed the dynamics of this FF movie series. The rumor mill is churning talk, with recent news circulating on Film Blend, that Fast and Furious 7 may represent the last Fast and Furious movie ever. According to this film website, the stress of delivering the best possible movie under extreme conditions (Paul Walker's passing), exhausted the cast and crew. Moving forward without the franchise star could decrease interest over time.

We never doubted that Fast and Furious 7 would propel, even with one of our favorite Fast and Furious stars gone forever. Dating back to Fast & Furious, this film series has outperformed itself time-after-time again. Weekend box office numbers for Fast & Furious 7 are expected to grab $115+ million. It wouldn't surprise us if Fast and Furious 7 generates $300+ million in its overall domestic box office and nearly $1 billion worldwide.

Fast and Furious 7 has raced off to 45,867,448 Facebook likes. This is impressive! The high number of likes indicate that Fast and Furious has a huge following. If we convert these Facebook numbers into movie ticket sales, then we are looking at over $600+ million in ticket sales. This does not factor in fans who want to watch the movie multiple times and those who don't use Facebook.

Fast and Furious 7 will be the biggest story of 2015. It will make its way onto the silver screen post-Paul Walker. As Film Blend shared, this film is more about a tribute to Paul Walker than anything else. Watch Fast and Furious 7 in theaters on April 3, 2015. Keep an eye on this website for upcoming news. #GoFF7

Rumor Mill: Paul Walker's ending in Fast and Furious movies

The world knows by now that Paul Walker left us on November 30, 2013 in Santa Clarita, California. Universal Studios and film crew put Fast and Furious 7 on hold to mourn the death of their beloved friend and co-star, Paul Walker. The rumor mill is moving overtime, speculating that Paul Walker's brother Cody Walker could/would stand-in to complete the remaining scenes. Another rumor is that Paul Walker wouldn't be killed off in the FF series to show respect for this sensitive issue.

Read this Vibe article on Paul Walker's expected fate in his Fast and Furious 7 ending here

Paul Walker and his death are heartfelt to millions. There is positive reception on this kind individual, whose work beyond movie acting made a difference in countless lives. It's sad to lose someone such as Paul Walker, a genuine human being that had many more years to grace this world. However, we live life and hope we can make a difference day-in and day-out. We never know when our last day will come. All we can do is our best to live a quality life, making another person smile with every passing minute.

Paul Walker made us smile. The good he's done will live on in his memory. We anticipate Fast & Furious 7 under James Wan will be a mega blockbuster. James Wan is a brilliant director, whose past work in Saw, Dead Silence, The Conjuring, and Insidious movies gained Paul Walker's respect. Paul called James a "G" in an interview before his death.

Fast & Furious 7 will be Paul Walker's last film ever. We suspect Paul Walker's character Brian O'Connor will be retired to show respect because killing this character off in a fiery crash is way too cruel. We have to separate fact from fiction. It is the right way to say goodbye to Paul Walker on the silver screen. We enjoyed his work on the Fast and Furious series. It saddened us all, many of us shedding tears anytime Paul Walker's name surfaced in the news, on websites, and in a new movie.

Lets make Paul Walker's last movie end on a memorable note. We sense there will be an end credit that mentions "In Loving Memory of Paul Walker 1973-2013." Universal Studios is an amazing movie studio who is loyal to their employees. On April 3, 2014, go to the movie and watch Fast & Furious 7. Drive your racing cars, if you have one, to dedicate this opening weekend to Paul Walker.

Paul Walker's end in Fast & Furious 7 will likely be handled as a retirement from heisting and racing. It is the best way to show appreciation and gratitude for the late Paul Walker. From this point, after Fast and Furious 7 ends, we will never see Paul Walker on the silver screen again. We can rent Paul Walker movies, but there won't be any upcoming movies involving Paul after April 3. Watch Fast & Furious 7 as much as possible to pay tribute to this great actor who lived for the world first and took care of himself second.

In Loving Memory of Paul Walker

1973-2013

Fast & Furious 7: Han funeral scene

Paul Walker's Brian O'Connor character is shown attending Han's funeral. Vin Diesel pays his respect to his good friend Han, and then is distracted by a slow moving race car riding through the cemetery.

Check out the last role Paul Walker will star in - Fast and Furious 7:

Lucas Black in Fast 7

For those of you who are wondering whether Lucas Black will return to Fast and Furious movies, well the answer is yes. Exclusive photos have surfaced showing Lucas Black's Sean character on set with Vin Diesel and director James Wan at a funeral scene. This scene with Vin Diesel and Tyrese appears to be Han's funeral. You can view these photos on FilmThrasher.com or here.

Lucas Black left a major impact on Fast and Furious movies franchise. Starring in only The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, we see this drift racer carrying the franchise on his back. This crafty racer film definitely put Lucas Black on the Fast and Furious map. From the looks of it, we notice that Lucas Black is passionate about racing because we have seen him in many photos with suped-up cars.

Fast and Furious 7 is on tap for a release date next April 2015. In essence, this movie schedule is basically on track to reflect what Justin Lin proposed before stepping down from directorial duties (requesting 2 years or more to make Fast and Furious movies). We welcome James Wan to the Fast and Furious family. However, we had to endure the loss of Paul Walker in tragic accident which took his life and his best friend Roger Rodas. James Wan, FF crew, movie studios, and the countless fans across the world grieved this loss. Now we have a shot at seeing Paul Walker's brothers contribute to their older brother's favorite movie role as Brian O'Conner.

We are thrilled to see a major director such as James Wan assuming control of Fast and Furious 7. Wan's understanding of making solid movies give us hope that Fast and Furious 7 will become the most successful movie of the FF franchise. This extreme talent had a career-defining moment to direct Paul Walker in what will represent his last movie ever.

Lucas Black is set to return as Sean Boswell, the new DK. Will the former DK make an appearance? After the previous 3 Fast and Furious movies, we finally get to see the Tokyo Drift plot connect the dots. Sean knows that Han is a straight-shooter in his dealings; Han is all about respect. This is probably the motivation that brings Sean back, as the death of Han is connected to Owen Shaw's brother Ian Shaw, played by Jason Statham.

Will there be drifting in Fast 7? What can we expect from Jason Statham, The Transporter actor who knows a thing or two about driving cars? Djimon Hounsou, the star from Blood Diamond, is also starring in Fast & Furious 7. Based on the IMDb page, Kurt Russell will be a part of Fast 7.

Fast and Furious 7 is set to be released on April 10, 2015. 

James Wan updates Fast and Furious movie fans on shooting a chase scene

James Wan is apparently enjoying his directorial duties on Fast & Furious 7. Wan updated his Twitter fans on shooting a chase scene for next year's mega Fast & Furious 7 movie.

Fast & Furious 7 is due out July 11, 2014. Wan is the best director to complete this production on schedule. This Fast 7 movie is going to feature several major stars. It is shaping up to deliver a massive opening weekend come July 11, 2014.

Fast and Furious 7 shooting video: Vin Diesel speaking and James Wan directing in background

Fast and Furious movies have made a fortune in the international box office. This movie franchise transformed Vin Diesel into a superstar. FF has a massive fan base that spans the globe. 

Vin Diesel gives us a sneak peek of Fast and Furious 7. We can see Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring director James Wan in the background to the right of Vin Diesel and next to the film camera. 

FF fans are getting hyped up for the seventh installment to this racing/heist movie franchise that raced on the movie scene in 2001. Once this Fast 7 movie opens, this will mark 13 years between seven films. This upcoming Fast and Furious movie edition is expected to include many high-powered stars.

James Wan will put his stamp on the Fast and Furious movie franchise

James Wan is enjoying a wild ride with The Conjuring and now Insidious Chapter 2. This is the year of James Wan, where two of his horror movies are about to be certified $40+ million openers.

It's rare to see one director make two horror movies that make this much money. James Wan did just that. He is now on the verge of making Fast and Furious 7 next year. What we've seen with James Wan is his ability to make cheap movies that make a fortune.

Imagine James Wan making a movie with an endless budget at his disposal. He is capable of making an awesome movie with Fast and Furious 7, especially since his previous experience from the first Saw movie involved suspense, action, quick edits and torture porn (known as a member of the Splat Pack).

James Wan will step back from his star actor Patrick Wilson and direct Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson and maybe even Lucas Black. We are looking forward to Fast and Furious 7, though we do reflect on the wildly popular The Fast and the Furious movie released in 2001. This franchise has come a long way and Universal Pictures knows it!

We will be watching and waiting for this movie. When Justin Lin refused to complete this movie in one year, Universal Studios already knew who could accomplish this high octane job.

Enter James Wan into Fast and Furious movies. He is on top of Hollywood looking down at us. Interestingly, James is a nice guy that is humble. Whereas James may be extremely rich and successful, he stays grounded on Earth. Hollywood gravitates toward a director that makes big money for pennies.

Congratulations James Wan on your success! Good luck with making Fast and Furious 7. 

Lucas Black is hinting he may be back in Fast and Furious 7

Lucas Black is an influential character in Fast and Furious movies. He is surely the most popular search for all Fast and Furious cast members. Recently, Lucas sent out a Tweet to address FF rumors. In this Tweet, Lucas Black mentioned:

"Thank y'all for all the #Fast7 wishes. Maybe @UniversalPics will listen to y'all. #TheRealDriftKing," he tweeted on May 28" (Fashion & Style, 2013).

Lucas Black starred in only one Fast and Furious movie, but his role lives on. FF fans want to see Sean drift again, especially after watching the blockbuster Fast & Furious 6 ending (view spoiler here).

Lucas Black's Tweet hints to us that he wants to come back to the highly popular racing movie franchise. Who knew this franchise would continue racing 12 years after its debut? We assumed The Fast And The Furious would represent one movie rather than seven films.

Fast and Furious 7 is expected out next July 2014. If Lucas Black returns, we will see an all-star cast in this high adrenaline franchise. Racers are revving their engines, waiting for the unexpected twists and turns that lie up ahead in the most anticipated movie of 2014. Start your engines... ready, set, go!

Lucas Black may come back to star in Fast and Furious 7. It is up to the producers and Universal Pictures to make Lucas an offer he can't refuse. #WeWantLucasBlackInFF7
