Watch the action-packed first trailer for Furious 7, the latest in the Fast & Furious franchise starring Paul Walker, Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson
Universal Pictures have released a trailer for the gas-guzzling action film
Furious 7.
The film, the latest in the blockbuster Fast
& Furious franchise, will once again reunite actors Vin Diesel, Paul
Walker and Dwayne Johnson. British actor Jason Statham - no stranger
to insane vehicular action thanks to his role in the Transporter films -
joins as the villian, after his appearance at the end of Fast & Furious
6.
James Wan takes over directorial duties from Justin Lin, who directed the
previous four films of the series. The blaring soundsystems and drifting
cars of the trailer suggest that it will continue in much the same vein as
its predecessor, Fast & Furious 6.
This time, Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his posse rendezvous with drift
king Sean Boswell (Lucas Black) and his crew in order to exact retribution
for the death of Han, a former member of Toretto's gang. Complications arise
when Han's murderer, Ian Shaw (Statham), ensnares Toretto in his brother's
underground car racing syndicate.
The film will feature the final on-screen appearance of Paul Walker, who
tragically died in a car crash in Los Angeles on November 30, 2013. His
untimely death, which occurred half way through filming, caused Universal to
postpone the original release date of July 11, 2014. The script has since
been reworked by writer Chris Morgan to provide a suitable send-off for
Walker's character, Brian O'Conner. A combination of CGI effects and
stand-ins (Walker's real life brothers) were used to complete the actor's
scenes. The Fast & Furious films have so far grossed $2.4 billion at the
worldwide box-office.
