Despite the usual two to three year gap between the previous installments, Universal chose to pursue a sequel quicker due to having fewer reliable franchises than its competitor studios.[15] Also in April, James Wan, predominantly known for horror films, was announced as the sequels director, with Moritz returning to produce and Morgan returning to write the script, his fifth in the series. Diesel and Walker were also confirmed to return to star.[16] Johnson said that if Universal pursued the accelerated development of a seventh film, he would be unable to participate due to scheduling conflicts with filming on Hercules: The Thracian Wars.[17] Nonetheless, he confirmed that he will return for the film.[18] On April 16, 2013, Diesel announced that the sequel would be released on July 11, 2014, with production scheduled to begin in August 2013.[19] In May 2013, Diesel said that the sequel would feature Los Angeles, Tokyo and the Middle East as locations.[20][21] In August 2013, it was reported that Denzel Washington had turned down a small role in the film, and that Universal was looking for another big star to take the part which would play a larger role in an eighth film.[22] In August 2013, Kurt Russell was confirmed to be in talks for joining the seventh film as a villain of Domenic Toretto. As of September 2013, his presence in the film has neither been confirmed nor denied.[23] In August 2013, professional fighter Ronda Rousey was confirmed to be in negotiations to join the cast.[24] Thai martial arts actor Tony Jaa has been confirmed to join the cast, making his Hollywood debut.[8][25] Filming began at the end of August 2013 in Atlanta, Georgia, with a casting call issued.[26] Abu Dhabi has also been confirmed as a filming location, as the production crew chose it over Dubai and will benefit from the emirates 30% rebate scheme.[1] Pikes Peak Highway in Colorado was closed in September to film some driving sequences.[27] In September 2013, it was confirmed that Lucas Black has signed on to reprise his role as Sean Boswell for this film and two more installments.[5][28] References ^ Jump up to: a b Olson, Marie-Louise (2013-08-13).
