'Fast & Furious 7' Release Date Shifts

Fast & Furious will hit theaters a week earlier than previously planned.
Universal Pictures announced recently that the racing movie, most recently set for release April 10, 2015, will now open April 3, 2015.
The studio is planning a worldwide day-and-date opening for the movie and decided that opening a week earlier allowed it to book more international playdates.

Continuing the global exploits in the unstoppable franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of "Fast & Furious 7." James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series that also welcomes back favorites Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas Black. They are joined by international action stars new to the franchise including Jason Statham, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, Ronda Rousey and Kurt Russell. Neal H. Moritz, Vin Diesel and Michael Fottrell return to produce the film written by Chris Morgan.
