Paul Walker's Death: 'Fast & Furious 7' Delayed But Won't Be Scrapped

The cast from the last fast and furious.
Universal and the team behind Fast & Furious 7 are facing a delay in production following the tragic death of actor Paul Walker, but sources say the movie will not be abandoned entirely. Walker, along with the rest of the cast and crew of Fast 7, had been scheduled to return to Atlanta on Sunday to resume shooting the big-budget film, which features extensive car racing.
Those plans are on hold until Monday or Tuesday at the earliest. Director James Wan and Universal executives held a conference call Sunday morning to discuss the state of the film, whether rewrites would be necessary and how to proceed in a manner that would be respectful to Walker's death. Walker, 40, was a favorite on the set of the Fast movies, and his death has left his fellow stars, including Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson, and the crew devastated. Fast 7, which was well underway shooting in Atlanta, was on hiatus for the Thanksgiving holiday.
