14 DAY TRIAL // Paul Walker’s final movie, the one he was still working on at the time of the November 2013 crash that claimed his and his best friend’s life, will be out in theaters worldwide on April 3, 2015. The first trailer for it has been released and is available in full and in HD below.
Universal is calling the seventh installment in the “Fast & Furious” franchise simply “Furious 7,” and by the looks of this first trailer, it will be more outrageous and action-packed than you could have ever dreamed.
Seeing how “Fast & Furious 6” was “vehicular warfare” with tanks and planes, that’s saying a lot. In the seventh film, the action is upped to an unprecedented level, so now we’re seeing our favorite characters jumping off a plane… with their rides.
“Furious 7” is Paul Walker’s final movie. At the time of his death, he hadn’t shot even half his scenes, which means that Universal was faced with a very tough choice: either pull the plug on it, and with it, the entire franchise, or find a way to complete the film without Walker.
In the end, it chose the latter, and most scenes with Walker’s character were reshot with his brothers as stand-ins. When necessary, the studio will probably use CGI to superimpose Walker’s face over theirs. It is believed that his character will be either killed off or retired, so that the franchise can continue with an eighth installment.
Meanwhile, we have glorious, physically impossible action. Also starring are Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jason Statham, Vin Diesel, Kurt Russell, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, and Djimon Hounsou. Australian rapper Iggy Azalea will be making her acting debut here too, in a cameo.
