Fast & Furious 7 had already garnered a lot of interest after the premature death of Paul Walker, but given the kind of response the latest preview of the film has got, it can be said in writing that this is going to be the most popular film for the franchise.
The film and its spoilers have been getting massive likes on social media and if that is an insight on what is to come then the producers have a successful film in their hands. The preview itself, showing Paul Walker and Vin Diesel has got more than a million likes.
James Wan, the director of Fast & Furious 7, who has previously been associated with low budget films, has been very forthcoming about the film. He has said that the film is going to be a revenge thriller and will tie some loose ends from Fast & Furious 2.
Fast & Furious 7 went through a big set-back when Walker passed away. The film production was immediately stopped, and scriptwriters worked day and night to change the story line to give Walker a fitting goodbye, while making sure that the plot went ahead for the sake of the franchise.
Paul Walker had already shot almost half the film before his death in a car accident. Wan along with writer Chris Morgan has reworked the script in a way to include the footage that they have of the late actor. The film will show Walker’s character Brian O’Connor leaving the team, which will help the franchise, continue without him.
Vin Diesel, who played Brian’s best friend Dominic Toretto, said it was hard shooting for the film. Paul and he have been friends in real life, and it was hard to film without him.
Fast & Furious will deal with the Han and Owen Shaw’s death from Tokyo Drift and Fast & Furious 6. Walker’s brothers Caleb and Cody Walker have been brought in to shoot for some of the scenes with Walker.
After Shaw’s death, his brother, Ian (Jason Statham) goes on a revenge killing spree. This is when Toretto realises that his friend Brian would be safe with Mia (Jordana Brewster) and their young son. Toretto thinks that Brian should move away from the action if it ensures him a safe and long life.
Fast & Furious 7 brings in the best of both worlds. It gives a fitting end to Paul Walker’s story in the franchise, allowing his fans to see him in his best role and also helps the franchise that was so close to his heart to continue.
Do you think Fast & Furious will still have its charm with Paul Walker’s exit? Leave us your comments.
It’s very hard without Paul Walker. Instead anyone else can be replaced for this franchise for a strong role for late Paul Walker.
