Furious 7 crushed the box office last weekend with a record-breaking opening and has made $800 million already at the global box office. But not every Fast & Furious fan is seeing the film in theaters. According to TechWorm, Anonymous has already leaked the blockbuster film online- and not just in a shaky, homemade cam form (as is the standard for most early leaks) but in its full, high-quality DVD version.
Anonymous has always had a history of supporting torrent sites, but they rarely, if ever, release the actual torrents online themselves, which makes this an odd and startling piece of news. And potentially disastrous for the Fast & Furious franchise, because the latest rumors point to Furious 7 being the final film in the series.
Metro claims that because most of the actors- the film's overflowing-with-stars cast includes Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, Kurt Russell, Jason Statham and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson)- have to renegotiate their contracts after Furious 7, it could potentially delay or cancel the film, while the lack of a director is also troubling. Furious 7 director James Wan has already moved on to another film project, while previous director Justin Lin is equally booked up.
Other parts of Furious 7 continue to leak online- most notably, the ending sequence, which says goodbye to actor Paul Walker after his tragic death during the filming of Furious 7. In the scene, Walker's character Brian O'Conner enjoys a day at the beach with his family and the rest of the Furious 7 crew, while Vin Diesel's character Dom Torretto tries to sneak away rather than say goodbye. O'Conner catches up to him, though, and they share a final drive together.
Business Insider reports that the final sequence is being uploaded to Youtube at a surprising rate and that fans who miss Paul Walker are leading the charge- which could potentially keep interest up and secure another Fast & Furious sequel.
