"Fast & Furious 7" will reportedly resume production this spring after the death of Paul Walker caused a hiatus back in November.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, sources close to production confirmed actors will report on set in on April 1 to shoot the remainder of the film.  The studio will have a year to complete the film before its April 10, 2015 release date.

"The remainder of the shoot will last from six to eight weeks, according to insiders. Cast and crew will be called back to Atlanta, where filming had been scheduled to resume after Thanksgiving," THR reports.  "Fast 7 was about halfway finished when Walker was killed in a car crash in Valencia, Calif., requiring its release date to be scrapped and Wan, writer Chris Morgan and Universal to pore over existing footage and tweak the script. Insiders now believe Walker's character can be "retired" -- rather than killed off -- in a way that will allow the franchise to continue."

The "Fast and Furious 7" production has not confirmed filming will resume in April.  However, "Fast 7" actor Kurt Russell recently spoke to IGN about the production and how his character could make it into a "Fast 8" film. 

"That's going to be interesting," Russell said.  "...The character has been purposely been treated in a certain way so that he can or can't. The 'can' will be an interesting stretch. It works, because I understand what it is and we came up with it. It's like, 'Oh, wow! That's cool!' If he doesn't, then he doesn't. If he gets killed, he gets killed."

"That will be for them to determine," Russell added.  "I just wanted to be able to work with them making the best possible character to either be sad he doesn't move on or say, 'Yeah, I want this character to move on -- we need this character to move on.' That sort of thing. I don't know what the situation, with Paul dying, does to that. I don't know."
