In the wake of Paul Walker’s death (revealed today to be “combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries”), Fast & Furious 7 is going on indefinite hold. The movie was facing a tight turnaround to follow up this year’s successful sequel; the July 2014 release date will likely be rescheduled. A statement says NBCUniversal is “committed to keeping Fast & Furious fans informed.” Meanwhile, a portion of Fast 6 DVD sales will be funneled into Walker’s charity, Reach Out Worldwide, “a network of professionals with first responder skill-sets who augment local expertise when natural disasters strike in order to accelerate relief efforts.”
