Crossover Insider: New Movie Releases & Trailers (Manitouwadge + Marathon); Gaming & Christmas @ Crossover
TYLER’S THOUGHTS
November 30th, 2013, the world was shocked to learn about the death of actor Paul Walker and his friend and financial advisor Roger Rodas. They succumbed to injuries suffered as a result of a car crash in Valencia, California. Walker was a different kind of celebrity. He used his fame and name status to form charitable groups and made sizeable contributions to a number of charities. As a matter of fact, he had just departed from a fundraiser for disaster relief in the Philippines when the car crash took place. In a sad and ironic twist of fate, Walker’s passing came just as Fast & Furious 6 was releasing on DVD and in the midst of production on Fast & Furious 7.
Production of F&F7 has since been halted as directors and producers must now come up with a tasteful and appropriate way to write off his character from the franchise. Paul Walker was only 40 years old and leaves behind his 15 year old daughter. Our thoughts are with the families of both Paul Walker and Roger Rodas.
There are a whopping twelve new titles releasing this week. Here is a brief synopsis on each;
