Once it had been confirmed that Fast & Furious 6 wouldn’t shoot back-to-back with the seventh installment, the natural assumption was that Fast & Furious 7 wouldn’t release in theaters until 2015 (at the earliest). That changed this month, after Vin Diesel dropped the news that filming on the seventh movie begins this summer, followed two weeks later by Universal’s formal announcement of a July 2014 release date target.
Fast and the Furious producer Neal H. Moritz is out and about promoting the sixth installment right now, which has provided him the chance to clear up a few things about the seventh movie; that includes who is directing – now that Justin Lin (Fast and the Furious 3-6) has stepped aside – and whether or not Dwayne Johnson will make an appearance as Agent Luke Hobbs.
