Will ‘Fast & Furious 7′ Begin Filming This Summer for a 2014 Release?

Eighteen months ago there was a rumor that Fast & Furious 6 and 7 will shoot back-to-back, but costar Dwayne Johnson deflated that false story before the sixth installment in the racing franchise began filming. Marketing for F&F6 has played up the suggestion that we’ll get to see the no-holds-barred finale this year, but that clashes with Vin Diesel’s previous claims about needing two additional movies to wrap everything up story-wise.

We’ve heard rumors about a Fast & Furious 6 post-credits scene, which could set up a seventh installment that builds on developments in the fourth, fifth and six movies in a logical fashion, in addition to bringing the series full-circle by tying off unresolved events in the original Fast and the Furious movie trilogy (specifically, Tokyo Drift). A new unofficial update on the situation indicates that Universal may have found a better alternative to the questionable back-to-back shooting process.
