'Fast and Furious 7' Trailer: Teaser To Debut With The Release Of 'Interstellar' In November? [VIDEO]
A new report reveals that the trailer for Fast and Furious 7 is set to debut with the release of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar in November.
Paul Walker's Character Not To Be Killed Off In F&F7?
Earlier this month, Tyrese Gibson, who plays Roman Pearce in the F&F series, revealed that the first teaser for the movie would drop on November first. Interstellar is set to hit theaters on November 4. Perhaps the trailer would be unveiled online and then play in theaters a few days later.
But it seems like Universal's decision to time the release of Fast and Furious 7 trailer with Interstellar has pushed the Jurassic World teaser, which was going to be timed with Nolan's new movie.
Vin Diesel Reveals New Movie Still Of Dominic Toretto Ahead Of F&F7 Trailer Release
JurassicWorld.org got this scoop from a "Box Office insider" who stated:
"I just got word that the theatrical trailer has been pushed back to debut with The Hobbit. This is for strategic reasons and not because of any actual delay with getting it ready. Universal is choosing to debut the Fast 7 trailer on Interstellar instead. Whether or not they still choose to debut it online in November, I have no idea."
Judging by Gibson's recent post announcing the release of the movie, it seems like the release was timed around Paul Walker's death anniversary which is also in November.
When Gibson posted the exciting bit of news -- that the trailer was due out on November 1 -- he emphasized honoring Walker.
"#Fast7trailer will officially drop on Nov 1st fans worldwide we did this on behalf of our family and our brother Paul Walker....... My entire heart miss you P!!! We hope we made you proud...... Nov 1st......." he wrote.

The message suggests that the month was chosen in remembrance of Walker, who died on November 30 in a car crash in Santa Clarita, Calif. He was the passenger in a car being driven by his friend, race car driver Roger Rodas, who also died in the accident. The speeding car hit a tree and instantly burst into flames, causing both the actor and Rodas to die on the spot.
Fast and Furious 7 will take off from where Fast and Furious 6 left off. Wan took over the director's role from Justin Lin, who announced earlier in the year that he will step away from directing the franchise.
The cast for the seventh installment reprising their roles include Vin Diesel, Luke Evans, Gibson, Ludacris, Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez. UFC Womens Bantam weight champion Ronda Rousey and ONG Bak star Tony Jaa will also star in the film.
The 40-year-old actor was halfway through filming Fast and Furious 7.
