Jimmy Kimmel had a packed show last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, with Furious 7 star Vin Diesel stopping by to promote the new movie, as well as musical guests Van Halen. Van Halen’s new album, Tokyo Dome, Live in Concert, comes out today, March 31st, 2015. It is the first live album released with original singer David Lee Roth on vocals.
After having an explosive showing with its Super Bowl spot last Sunday, Universal has released the full trailer for Furious 7.
The road to this highly anticipated film hasn’t been easy. Pushed back an entire year due to the tragic loss of star Paul Walker, director James Wan managed to put it all together. The trailer reminds us what makes the Fast and Furious franchise so much fun to watch. It is hard to believe that we’re seven films into this franchise, and just by looking at this trailer, it looks like there is nothing that can stop it. Not even gravity.
Hit the jump to check out the latest trailer for Furious 7.
During Sunday night’s Super Bowl, we posted throughout the evening the Super Bowl commercials that pertained to movies and television that were aired during the big game as well as during the pre-Game, Halftime, and post-Game shows.
But, there’s still a lot more ad offerings from Super Bowl XLIX — which saw the returning champs The Seattle Seahawks go up against The New England Patriots in Glendale, Arizona’s University Of Phoenix Stadium — that we didn’t get to post. So now, we’re collecting them all here below for your enjoyment, since there was plenty of new TV and movie footage revealed, and of course, those clever and celebrity-filled product commercials.
I didn’t include every commercial shown, as some didn’t pertain to our type of entertainment and some I just didn’t enjoy or care about. Instead, I’ve embedded most of the movie and TV spots, along with my favorites from all those car and soda-type adverts, most of which feature celebrities.

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.
Earlier this week, there were reports of Universal negotiating a deal to get Justin Lin to direct back-to-back Fast and Furious films, and eventually end the franchise. While the end is inevitable, it’s really hard to know when a franchise like the Fast and Furious could end, because as long as it is a huge profit, the studio will continue to produce more sequels. The last four films have seen huge box office results, with each new installment grossing more than their predecessor.
But the studio talking to Lin could mean that the end is near. Now, Universal chairman Donna Langley is talking about it, saying that there will be at “least three more” movies and that depends on Furious 7‘s box office performance. Hit the jump for more.
