I’ve literally seen every Screen Junkies Honest Trailer out there, and I have reviewed them here for months, but this is the first time I’ve cackled out loud with glee. It takes a franchise so overtly ridiculous to produce what is my favorite Honest Trailer of all time… Furious 7. Sorry Pacific Rim and Man of Steel, you’ve been replaced.

Check out the Honest Trailer below.

A TV spot aired this evening during the Super Bowl for Furious 7, the seventh installment in Universal Pictures’ highly successful Fast and Furious franchise.

Watch the new TV spot here below, along with a 7-second behind-the-scenes stunt clip.

Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Michelle Rodriguez, and Lucas Black all reprise their respective roles for the James Wan-directed sequel, while newcomers Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Nathalie Emmanuel, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, and John Brotherton have joined the cast.

Universal Pictures has released the first trailer for Furious 7, the seventh entry in the highly successful Fast and Furious franchise. The trailer starts off in a really big way, and the action sequences seen are only a glimpse into what will probably be one of the most exciting films of 2015. Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Michelle Rodriguez, and Lucas Black all return to reprise their respective roles. They will be joined by newcomers like Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Nathalie Emmanuel, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, and John Brotherton.

The trailer is also bit of a sad reminder that this is the last time we will ever see the late Paul Walker in a movie. But based on the massive marketing campaign that was launched prior to the trailer’s release, it looks like Furious 7 will honor his legacy in the Fast and Furious franchise. Hit the jump to read a synopsis and watch the trailer.

Vin Diesel clearly knows how to use social media to engage his fans and market his films. One film that will probably be the hardest to do is Fast and Furious 7. Because that film saw the tragic loss of Paul Walker, director James Wan was tasked with completing the film that would honor both Walker and the franchise itself. Somehow he managed to complete production, and now we wait until April 2015 to see if he got the job done.

But until then, Diesel will continue to push the film through his official Facebook page. Today he released a pair of new images from the film, but also tells his fans that he has seen the trailer and says that it is “incredible.” Hit the jump to read his full description and to see the full images.

Some what of an inevitability considering the precarious situation that Universal Pictures is in now. On one hand, the studio can scrap the entire film and have screenwriter Chris Morgan rewrite the Fast & Furious 7 script since Paul Walker tragically died in an accident last week. On the other hand, the studio could have Morgan revise it to give Walker’s Brian O’Connor character the proper send off, giving us one more chance to see the actor in one of his final performances – which is what fans want.

But the one thing on Universal’s mind is how they can approach this film and honor the memory of Walker. Universal does seem content on salvaging whatever footage can be used, since the film was nearly complete before the actor’s untimely death, and if they are satisfied with Morgan’s results, they can resume production as early as January. But that is a big if.

Briefly: following the death of Paul Walker, Universal Pictures has been assessing production status of the Fast and Furious 7. Rumors on how the studio would proceed have ranged from scrapping the entire film to superimposing Walker’s face for the final performances.

Now the studio has released an official statement regarding the status of the film. Continue reading to find out where things currently stand.

Actor Paul Walker died in a car crash during a charity event over the Thanksgiving holiday. The actor was on break from filming the Fast and Furious 7. Filming was scheduled to resume in Atlanta this week after the break, but now Universal Pictures has no other choice but to delay the production. The studio says that the project will NOT be scrapped entirely.

Director James Wan and the studio attended a conference call on Sunday to see how much of the film would actually need rewrites. They also wanted to see how to proceed with the sequel that would be respectful to Walker’s death.

The Fast and Furious 6 mid-credits scene gave fans a revealing scene that actually took place during the events of Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift. It also marked that the next film would take place after Tokyo Drift – the fourth, fifth, and sixth films took place before the third – thus ending the film’s somewhat weird chronology. Now filming for Fast and Furious 7 has begun, and the marketing for the movie is slowly revving up.

New set photos featuring muscle cars and a damaged large vehicle, along with minor plot details have been revealed via the film’s official twitter page. Additionally, a tweet has been sent out asking fans if they want to see another character make a return. Hit the jump to see them all.

The headline is no joke. Denzel Washington was offered a role in Fast & Furious 7 and its follow-up, but ended up turning it down. If this is the kind of talent that Universal is aiming for, the confirmed actor for the James Wan-directed film should be in or around the same tier. But don’t be surprised if it’s not.

Those who stuck around for the end of the Fast and Furious 6 (or Furious 6 as it was seen on its title card), saw that Jason Statham had killed a member of Dom Toretto’s crew and was seeking revenge on the rest for what they had done to his brother, Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), in the film.

Fast and Furious 6 races into theaters on May 24th, but it’s confirmed sequel, Fast and Furious 7, may lose yet another vital piece of the Fast and Furious franchise. After Justin Lin confirmed that he would not be able to direct the seventh installment – due to scheduling constraints – James Wan quickly became one of the frontrunners to helm the film. Now there is word that Dwayne Johnson may not be able to reprise his role because of scheduling conflicts of his own.

Speaking to Collider, Johnson said that his shooting schedule with Brett Ratner’s Hercules film and the projected shooting date for Fast and Furious 7 clashes with each other in a way that will make him unable to reprise his role.
