    ‘Fast and Furious 7’ to release in four languages across India

    MUMBAI: After the success of all its prequels, Universal Pictures India is all set to give Fast and Furious 7 a multi-lingual release in Indian theatres on 2 April, 2015.

     

    The movie will release across India in four languages namely English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

     

    Fast and Furious 7 will be more special for the franchise’s fans as this will be the last time they will see the late Paul Walker reprising his role as Brian O’Conner. It may be recalled that Walker died in a car crash last year.

     

    The movie also stars Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and Michelle Rodriguez, Jason Statham and Indian actor Ali Fazal in a special appearance among others.

     

    The movie is directed by James Wan. The movie will also see Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and Lucas Black, who will be joined by international action stars new to the franchise including Jason Statham, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, Ronda Rousey, Nathalie Emmanuel and Kurt Russell.

     

    Talking about the movie, Wan said, “When you’re making a bigger movie you have much bigger set pieces that require more time and more effort and more people. But I think the final product will surprise a lot of people. It’s the hardest film I’ve ever had to make but it’s also the one I’m proudest of.  I’m really proud of this film.”

    MUMBAI: Universal Pictures recently declared that it has shifted the release date of the seventh installment of ‘Fast and Furious’.

     

    According to Hollywood Reporter the Studio is planning a worldwide day-and-date opening for the movie and has decided that opening a week earlier will allow it to book more international play dates. The movie will hit theaters in April 2015, a week earlier than previously planned.

     

    The film, which will be helmed by James Wan, was earlier slated for a summer 2014 release which had been postponed due actor Paul Walker’s tragic car accident in November 2013.

     

    The movie will see the 40-year-old late actor, Vin Diesel, and Dwayne Johnson, along with Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas Black, and will also star Jason Statham, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, Ronda Rousey and Kurt Russell.

     

    As reported in Forbes, by coincidence or as a result, Focus Features is moving Insidious 3 from 3 April to 29 May of next year. On a surface level, this new date merely puts the film on the same weekend as Fast & Furious, which opened on 3 April 2009 to a record (for April at the time) opening weekend of $70.9 million.

    MUMBAI: Vin Diesel, the star of the Fast & the Furious film series has announced a final release date for the last installment of the famous movie franchise.

     

    The untimely death of Paul Walker not only shocked fans all over the world, but it halted the final stretch in making the 7th installment of Fast and the Furious. As a tribute to Walker’s life, the makers decided to finish the film, and his co-star Vin Diesel has announced on his Facebook page that the movie will be released in April in 2015.

     

    “The last scene we filmed together…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… Fast and Furious 7 will be released…April 10th 2015!” wrote Diesel with a photo showing him alongside Walker.

     

    Diesel concluded the post saying “P.s. He’d want you to know first.”

    Universal Pictures has confirmed the April 10 release date with E! News, and mentioned that 60 per cent of the film has been already shot before Walker’s death.

     

    The famous actor died in a fatal car accident on November 30 in East Los Angeles. Walker was on the passenger seat of a Porsche Carrera GT driven by friend, Roger Rodas, who also died in the scene. According to investigators leading the case, there was no mechanical issue involved in the accident, and that it was a result of solely too much speed.

     

    Immediately after Walker’s death, Universal released a statement saying that they will stop all movements in relation to the filming of Fast & Furious 7, to pay respect to the friends and relatives of the late actor, as well as to give support to the crew and filmmakers.

     

    However, the studio did say that “all options available to move forward with the franchise,” according to a report by E! Online. There are no final statements or press releases regarding on how the film will unravel its plot without its main character, Brian O’Connor, played by the late Paul Walker.
