Here are some of the latest "Fast and Furious 7" updates! The cast and crew have finally finished filming in Abu Dhabi and this was announced by news agency WAM. This was the latest installment of the popular racecar film franchise which starred the late Paul Walker.
The Fast 7 team started filming in Abu Dhabi last November 2013, but they had to stop after their lead star got into a tragic car accident in Los Angeles. Everyone was in shock of the untimely death of Paul Walker, but the producers had to take action to complete the film.
Universal Studio shared some "Fast and Furious 7" updates and that is the replacement of Paul Walker. They announced that Caleb and Cody Walker will help finish off their brother's scenes and will resume shooting in April 2014.
Paul Walker's brothers teased their fans by posting their photo with a helicopter on their back. Cody captioned the photo, "Not a bad way to get around the UAE!" They were at that time filming in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Vin Diesel was also grateful for his stay in UAE and he even gave the Dubai Princess a special gift. According to Arabian Business, the actor that plays Dominic Toretto gave Her Highness Sheikha Latifa a muscle car as well as a postcard and signed CD.
The actor wrote a note to her saying, "To my extended family in Dubai, thank you for the love...your friend always." The princess replied on Instagram, "Thank you @vindiesel for this wonderful gift, it was a great pleasure meeting you and your family."
The Abu Dhabi government was very supportive to the production of the new sequel. According to twofour54 CEO Noura Al Kaabi, "We are delighted that the filming of Fast & Furious 7 was successfully completed."
He added, "It is wonderful to see how popular foreign productions can benefit from Abu Dhabi's unique locations, world-class production and post-production facilities, locally based media professionals and generous film rebate."
It seems that we will be seeing more international films shooting in Abu Dhabi in the future with all these positive "Fast and Furious 7" updates coming from the cast themselves.
