‘Fast and Furious 7’ Cast Update: Paul Walker Autopsy Alive After Crash, The Rock Loses James Bond Role? [VIDEO TRAILER]

With the April 3 release date just a little more than six months away, Fast and Furious 7 is set to be the Universal franchise's most successful installment yet. Between Vin Diesel's social media sulking and Resident Evil actress, Michelle Rodriguez, becoming a quasi sex-symbol by proxy--since supposedly dating both Zac Efron and Cara Delevingne inside of six months--public anticipation is practically at a fever pitch. Sadly, it may also be "The Rock's" last. WWE actor, Dwayne Johnson has hinted that even though he returned to finish this project after the untimely death of Paul Walker, whose autopsy indicated was still alive immediately after the crash, he may not be coming back for another one. According to the latest gossip news updates, "The Rock" is currently trying to join the 007 franchise, but has reportedly lost the chance to play the bad guy opposite Daniel Craig because he is asking for more than James Bond, himself.

WWE wrestling superstar and part time actor, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, has had no problem telling any reporter that asks him that Fast and Furious 7 may very well be his last film with the franchise, though it may be the only one out there that can afford to pay him.

According to a source claiming to have behind-the-scenes deets, who spoke with Star Magazine for their September 22, issue, Johnson was practically a shoo-in to land the role in the next James Bond movie.

That is until Dwayne told them what the going rate to have "The Rock" in your movie is these days:

"Dwayne asked for more money than Daniel Craig gets to play Bond!

"Dwayne thought he'd be perfect, but shooting starts in a few weeks...Unless he lowers his rates, it's not going to happen."

Fellow Fast actor, Vin Diesel, on the other hand, seems absolutely obsessed with all things concerning the films that made him famous.

When the Riddick star isn't throwing up shots taken from filming Fast and Furious 7 onto Facebook, he's posting memorials to his friend, Paul Walker.

Earlier today Vin put up this sentimental video of Walker celebrating his last birthday with the cast and crew he had come to know so well:

"One year ago today...

"Honoring our brother..."

It's hard to see why this is anything the Mr. Johnson would ever want to get leave.
