THE seventh instalment in the popular Fast & Furious series now has a title and a sneak-peek trailer.
However, fans hoping for a glimpse at action-packed scenes in the film, imaginatively titled Fast & Furious 7, may be disappointed — the ‘trailer’ is actually made up of clips from the previous six films. Another trailer, featuring clips from the upcoming movie, is to follow in the coming days.
In a post on the film franchise’s Facebook page today, producers shared this message with more than 51 million fans:
“The road to FAST & FURIOUS 7 starts here. Because of our fans our saga has grown bigger and better with every chapter. In just 7 days, we will reveal the first trailer for our next instalment — FAST & FURIOUS 7. Until that moment arrives we’ll be posting something every day that celebrates favourite moments from the franchise or a sneak peek of the new film.
“For our extended FAST & FURIOUS family, we have set out to make the very best movie yet. We are excited to continue our journey together.”

Set for release in April 2015, the latest instalment in the franchise marks the final big screen appearance for star Paul Walker, who died in a fiery car crash in November last year while the film was still in production.
It’s understood that Walker’s character, Brian O’Conner, will be ‘retired’ rather than killed off in the new film, allowing the franchise more room to continue.

Walker’s tragic death at just 40 years of age forced filmmakers to use inventive means to complete his scenes in the film — since Walker’s passing, his brothers Caleb and Cody have both been used as stand-ins for his role. It’s understood CGI will also play a part in bringing Walker to the screen.
