NEW YORK (AP) - Universal Pictures has delayed the release of "Fast & Furious 7" for almost a year following the death of star Paul Walker.

The studio announced Monday that the "Fast & Furious" sequel will be released in April 2015, instead of July next year. Shooting on the film was about halfway finished when the 40-year-old Walker died in a car crash outside of Los Angeles.

Walker still will appear in the film, though Universal has not said exactly how it will handle his unfinished performance.

Co-star Vin Diesel first posted the news on Facebook, telling his fans that, "He'd want you to know first."

The franchise has been one of Universal's most lucrative, grossing almost $2.4 billion worldwide since 2001. The last film, "Fast & Furious 6," made $789 million.

KEYWORDS:
If the movie is half-done, then the show must go on. They can do a CGI of Walker or use a stunt-double like they did with Brandon Lee.

Depending on where he was in filming his part, it would be easy to have him go out on a mission but either simply not come back or die in a car chase.

Oh, I thought they were talking about holder’s Fast & Furiuos. That seems to have been delayed until Jan. 2017. Even then it’s doubtful the Grand Old Eunechs will do anything then.

They should change the title and bring in the character from ‘The Sopranos’:

Fast and Furio

My daughter said she read somewhere that they may use his brother to stand in for him because they look very much alike.
