"Fast & Furious 7" made its debut at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Tuesday, revealing the first footage of the film since the death of Paul Walker.
According to HitFix, images of Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Dominic (Vin Diesel), Brian (Paul walker) and Roman (Tyrese Gibson) were show during CinemaCon, but no signs of Luke (Dwayne Johnson) or the films newest cast members, Jason Statham and Kurt Russell. You can check out HitFix's description of the "Fast & Furious 7" film footage below.
The footage from "Fast and Furious 7" finds Dominic (Vin Diesel), Brian (Walker) and their crew in the middle of another adventure. What the job is this time around wasn't clear from the preview, but there was absolutely zero hint that Brian (Walker's character) might retire or depart during the film. Instead, it focused mostly on an impressive stunt where Tej (Ludacris), Dominic and Brian back their cars out of a cargo plane before activating a parachute. The gag -- which is perfect for a trailer -- finds Roman (Tyrese Gibson) refusing to "jump" his car with him in it out of the plane. Tej is prepared, however, and remotely turns on Roman's car parachute, pulling him out of the cargo hold.
The Latino Review reports footage of Walker shown during CinemaCon 2014 were of the actor and not of a body double or a CGI recreation. According to the New York Daily News, sources close the production claim the "Fast & Furious 7" are prepared to digitally construct a likeness of Walker to complete his unfinished scenes.
Walker died in a car accident on Nov. 30, 2013. The Los Angeles Times reports officials have confirmed speed and old tires contributed to the accident, and no evidence of mechanical failure was found.
"Fast & Furious 7" will be released on April 10, 2015.
