    James Wan Directing Fast & Furious 7

    DateThu, April 11, 2013

    The search for the Fast & Furious 7 director ended just as it was amping up. The truth is Universal is so antsy for a summer 2014 release there is no time to waste. They need a helmer in pre-production ASAP.

    So while there was a short-list of filmmakers with working relationships at Universal, they have gone in another direction. James Wan (Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring) will direct. His filmography doesn't spring to mind the appropriate choice for the franchise's signature slick cars, hot girls, great stunts and Vin Diesel/Paul Walker homoeroticism. But when you're into your sixth installment, it's good to mix things up.

    Production is aiming for a September start.
