Production will resume for "Fast & Furious 7" months after the tragic death of franchise star Paul Walker.

E! News confirms that filming will begin again on March 31 in Atlanta, the same city in which principal photography began when production started last September.

James Wan, the director of the film, has not yet commented on how Walker's character, Brian O'Conner, will leave the series. But it was revealed in January that the film will use existing footage Walker shot before his death.

Screenwriter Chris Morgan will redraft the scrip to "retire" Walker's character. The film marked Walker's sixth appearance in the franchise; he did not appear in "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift".

Walker was killed in a car crash in California on Nov. 30 at the age of 40.

The remaining stars of the film recently commented on the difficulty of resuming filming without Walker.

Vin Diesel posted a photo on Facebook of him and Walker earlier this week with a caption about the "added purpose" that comes with finishing the film.

"The transition into that Dom state of mind has always been an interesting one...only this time there is added purpose, a collective goal to make this the best one in the series," the caption read. "P.s. The long awaited completion of Seven, begins..."

Diesel's costar, Michelle Rodriguez, said that the chemistry between the cast members is what makes the movies so successful.

"The chemistry of the cast built the loyal fan base, and the fact that these characters live by their own code and answer no one but each other creates a hero like admiration for a multicultural audience that usually has no heroes in Hollywood to relate to," she wrote.

"The fast Franchise is an underdog Giant in Hollywood and I hope it paves a road for many Multicultural big [budget], quality productions in the future," she added.

The film was originally scheduled to debut in July, but will now hit theaters on April 10, 2015.
