Furious 7 (also known as Fast & Furious 7 and Furious Seven)[4][5] is a 2015 American action film. It is the sequel to the 2013 film Fast & Furious 6 and the seventh installment in the Fast & Furious film series. The film was written by Chris Morgan and directed by James Wan. It stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Lucas Black and Jason Statham. With the previous three installments being set between 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), Furious 7 is the first film of the series to take place after Tokyo Drift.

The film marks the final appearance of Paul Walker, who died on November 30, 2013 with filming only half-completed. After Walker's death, filming was delayed for script re-writes, and his brothers Caleb and Cody Walker were used as stand-ins to complete his remaining scenes. Furious 7 is set for release on April 3, 2015. It is set to be released in 3D internationally.

After defeating Owen Shaw and his crew, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) and the rest of the crew are able to return to the United States and live normal lives again as they had wanted. However, Owen's older brother, Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham), is after Dom and his crew, seeking revenge for his brother's death and putting the entire crew in danger once more. After learning of Han's death, the crew sets out to find the man who killed one of their own, before he finds them first.

Diesel and Paul Walker were the first confirmed to return.[34] Dwayne Johnson initially said that if Universal pursued the accelerated development of a seventh film with a summer start date, he would be unable to participate due to scheduling conflicts with filming on Hercules.[35] However, as production for the film commenced in September, he confirmed his return for the film, as Hercules would complete production in time for him to film a significant part.[36] In August 2013, Kurt Russell was confirmed to be in talks for joining the film.

Filming
Principal photography began in the beginning of September 2013 in Atlanta, Georgia, with a casting call issued.[42][43] Abu Dhabi has also been confirmed[44] as a filming location, as the production crew chose it over Dubai and will benefit from the Emirate's 30% rebate scheme.[45] Pikes Peak Highway in Colorado was closed in September to film some driving sequences.[46]

Redevelopment of Walker's character
On January 6, 2014, it was reported that Walker's character would be retired instead of killed, and that new scenes would be developed to retire his character, allowing the franchise to continue.[56] On March 21, 2014, the New York Daily News reported that the studio had hired four actors with bodies very similar to Walker's physique and using his face and voice with the use of CGI.[57] On April 15, 2014, it was announced that Walker's brothers, Caleb and Cody, would be used as stand-ins.[58]]

The film received highly positive reviews upon release at a secret screening at the 2015 SXSW Film Festival on March 16, 2015. Ramin Setoodeh of Variety noted that fans started lining up outside four hours before the film was scheduled to start. The film closed with a touching tribute to Walker, which left many in the theater "holding back tears".[77]

John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter criticized the film as "stupidly diverting", saying the running time was "overinflated"; he compared watching the film to a morbid game, in addition to criticizing the screenplay.[78]
