Oh HELL yes! Great news for sure. So psyched for this egg to hatch. It will be a treat to see what Wan can do for the story.

I always plan on seeing them on the big screen and end up missing out for some reason and buying em on Blu Ray, but I am definitely seeing this one on opening day.

Still feel Brian should die...in blazing glory of course. I'm gonna miss Walker's fake fighting...he seemed like a guy that could handle himself in a fight.

I prefer they 'write him out' in another way. I'd like a 'riding off into the sunset' type of ending. It just feels a little weird to kill the character just because the actor died. I certainly wouldn't have liked them to do that to Ledger's Joker just because they knew he wouldn't be able to come back for another film.

Considering Shaw's brother is out for revenge it seems Brian simply driving off into the sunset is a little far fetched...epsecially seeing as Han died.

Still, unless they always planned to kill him, I don't like them taking the 'Well the actor passed away, so the character should die' they can easily kill OTHER characters if they want. Heck, I honestly think the most dramatic thing would be Mia dying, and Brian officially "retiring" in order to make sure he raises his son right.

Mia dies and Brian retires? If he did that then it goes against everything he stands for. When Shaw kidnapped Mia he flipped out and attacked him...Brian isn't the type to run from a fight.

Well, you could be thinking of it narrowly. Mia dies, Brian gets revenge, then retires. I mean, there is any number of ways to do it. There isn't some 'well he can't retire no matter what' law.

Well perhaps he retires at the end...after Shaw dies...we will see.

That's what I was getting at, they keep talking about sort of 'sending him off properly' or whatever, and I just think 'Having his character die in a vicious car wreck/explosion' wouldn't be the most tasteful thing to do.

My assumption was a mid film send off...which imo would be pretty jarring.

I believe the whole reason they brought his brothers in were to properly complete his role and keep him in the whole film. Tyrese came out and said that they filmed "85% of the movie with Paul in it". So he filmed quite a huge chunk of his material.

An end of the film retirement works best...mid film it would be awkward.

Agreed. I don't want any exit that feels like "Oh they had to do it that way because Walker died". Luckily they say that virtually all of Walker's drama/dialogue scenes had been shot, and only some action scenes remained. It is much easier to use doubles and CGI and etc during action sequences and fill in the role than it would be for some big dramatic dialogue scene.

Very happy about this. For those wondering 'Big deal, only 1 week sooner', here is the context. FIRST - April 3rd will be 6 years to the exact day since the release of the 4th film "Fast & Furious", that is the film that returned and reunited the original four leads of the first film, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster, and Michelle Rodriguez. It is also the film that successful revived the series and sent it in the direction of being a genuine action/blockbuster franchise, and not just a niche series about racing cars. SECOND - While only 1 week earlier than the previous release, this will likely result in the film making millions more at the box office. It now comes a full week sooner than 'Avengers: Age of Ultron', and in the scheme of blockbuster movies that get their audience zapped by whatever the next big movie is(see the performance of Godzilla in it's second and 3rd weekend when stuff like X-Men and Maleficent opened) ...one week is a LONG time. This one week change essentially means that FF7 could be the #1 movie for 4 weekends in a row, whereas before, it wasn't going to spend more than 3 weeks on top. This also puts it opening on the same weekend that Captain America: The Winter Soldier opened on this year. The Winter Soldier broke the April opening record, and FF7 will probably set a new record again next year.

Also for what it's worth it puts it opening the week of Wrestlemania 31, which may be intentional for Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson to promote it on that show. Perhaps with Vin Diesel joining him. Wouldn't be surprised if that is one of the reasons they decided to do this too.

To have more screen time before Paul Blart hits, naturally.

Sure...although I think in the grand scheme of things, getting an extra week before the blockbuster of the summer(Avengers) comes out is probably a bigger deal than getting an extra week before a sequel to an okay comedy that will be over 6 years old at that point.

Chris Groves on Jul 3, 2014

Yeah, that was sarcasm.

I know, it's all good. Was just having some fun humoring the notion
