'Fast and Furious 7' Spoilers: Furious 7 'Most Ambitious' In The Series 'Ever Filmed' [VIDEO]
As the trailer for Furious 7 was officially unveiled on November 1, the stars of the movie talked about their experience working on the Fast and Furious franchise with him at the special premiere event, and Vin Diesel stated that it was the "most ambitious" in the series yet.
Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordanna Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Jason Statham and Ludacris were present at the event which was streamed live on E!. During the special interview, Diesel spoke of paying tribute to Paul Walker's memory and while talking about how they hoped to help continue his spirit with the movie, because it was "the most ambitious Fast and Furious" they had ever filmed.
In a recent interview, director James Wan also suggested that it was a very ambitious project.

Speaking to Collider, Wan spoke about how taking on such a massive project was a first for him, with the budget and scale of filming. Wan is mostly known for his indie-horror and thriller films like the Saw series,Insidious series, and The Conjuring.
"The size of the budget doesn't make that much of a difference because the kind of issues I have on a low budget film I I have on a big budget film as well, but they're just much bigger. It doesn't matter how big or small your film is, you still don't have enough money," he said "You don't have enough time to shoot it. When you're making a bigger movie you have much bigger set pieces that require more time and more effort and more people. But Fast 7 is definitely the hardest movie I've had to do in my career. And it's not just me. Neil Mortiz [the film's producer] has been doing this for a long time and is a very successful, seasoned producer and he said that to me too. That Fast 7 is the hardest movie he's ever had to make as well in his entire career. And it's very true. But I think the final product will surprise a lot of people. It's that hardest film I've ever had to make but it's also the one I'm proudest of. I'm really proud of this film."
Furious 7 will take off from where Fast and Furious 6 left off. Wan took over the director's role from Justin Lin, who announced earlier in the year that he will step away from directing the franchise.
The cast for the seventh installment reprising their roles include Vin Diesel, Luke Evans, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Jordana Brewster. UFC Womens Bantam weight champion Ronda Rousey and ONG Bak star Tony Jaa will also star in the film.
Furious 7 will hit theaters in April 2015.
