Filming for the seventh installment of the hit Fast and Furious franchise will resume later this month.

Production was halted last November following the sudden tragic death of Paul Walker.

Universal Studios executives confirmed earlier this week that that cast and crew of the Fast and Furious team will resume production on March 31.

Vin Diesel, who stars as Dominic Toretto in the F&F franchise, and is one fo the producers of the show, confirmed the news by posting a message on Facebook. He posted: "The transition into that Dom (Diesel's character) 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... P.s. The long awaited completion of Seven, begins..."

It has been reported that Paul Walker had completed filming up to 85 percent of the seventh installment of Fast and the Furious franchise. The movie was slated to release in July 2014 but was pushed back to April 2014 due to Walker's death.

Producers and writers had to rewrite the script to phase out Paul Walker's character Brian O'Conner. Rather than being killed off in the series, it was reported that O'Conner will retire.

Meanwhile, a seller has put up for sale items allegedly found at Paul Walker's crash scene last year. Among the items are the sunglasses the actor was wearing at the time of his death, and a fire extinguisher said to be used to extinguish the flames of the fiery crash.

Kieta, an acquisitions specialist at BidAMI.com told New York Daily News "We photo-matched them to the one's Paul was wearing [that day]. And of course the statement from the person who obtained them." She did not disclose the seller's name.

The unidentified seller claims to have been at the scene of the accident scene in Santa Clarita, Calif.

The authenticity and morality of selling of the alleged items is questionable.
