Watch the Super Bowl TV Spot for Furious 7, the new Vin Diesel movie that features Paul Walker's final ride with the Toretto Family.
NewsThe Super Bowl is a time for families. And none like games of blunt force trauma better than Dom Toretto’s clan, led by the Vin Diesel patriarch of the Fast and Furious franchise. And thus enter Furious 7, the one where the family gathers for some much needed vengeance.
Below we have the Furious 7 Super Bowl TV spot for the tragically delayed but much welcome return of Universal’s flagship franchise.
Furious 7 is the carefully calibrated sequel to the increasingly popular global franchise that has made tracks around the world. It also marks the first film in the series directed by Conjuring and Insidious helmer James Wan. He is taking over for Justin Lin who has directed all the installments since Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), taking the franchise to its current blockbuster status.
It also sadly marks the final picture of star Paul Walker’s career. One half of the one-two punch that is Vin Diesel and Mr. Walker, the actor died in a car collision in November 2013.
Prior to his death, Walker participated with director James Wan and the rest of the cast and crew in completing about half of the scenes for Fast & Furious 7, which purportedly was originally to be heavily focused on Brian O’Conner’s character. Over the course of December, Wan and writers Chris Morgan, and Jeffrey Kirschenbaum poured over footage in an attempt to find a way to use some of his scenes.
The result has led to reshoots that understandably delayed the film from its original July 11, 2014 release date until April 3, 2015. As a tribute to Walker, brothers Caleb Walker and Cody Walker are also set to appear in Furious 7.
