Despite the continued efforts of unofficial chief publicist Vin Diesel, it’s been a while since we’ve seen anything from the seventh outing of the** Fast & Furious** franchise. That is all set to change now, as the reveal of what is described as a new Facebook cover image brings a new US title – Furious 7 – as well as a new UK teaser poser and word that the trailer is due next week.

The film, which finds Diesel’s Dom and the rest of the gang dealing with the fallout from stopping Owen Shaw (Luke Evans) in the last film, aims to keep the franchise’s burgeoning reputation for mad car stunts and other action alight with James Wan stepping in behind the camera.
Universal has announced via the film’s Facebook page that a trailer reveal will be happening in Los Angeles at an event that will also be broadcast online.
Per the press release: “In just seven days, we will reveal the first trailer for our next instalment, Furious 7, at The Road to* Furious 7**: Trailer Launch Event at Universal Studios in Los Angeles!*
We want to share this moment with all of our fans around the world. For those of you not able to attend in person, you’ll be able to follow a live broadcast starting at noon Pacific on the Fast & Furious Facebook page and on E!. For those in the Los Angeles area, tickets will be available starting tomorrow, October 27th, on the official Fast & Furious social pages.” You’re able to submit questions for the cast via Instagram now with the tag #AskFurious.
As for the movie, which is still called **Fast & Furious 7 **here in the UK in a move that repeats all the name-related confusion of Fast 5 / **Rio Heist **/ whatever, that’ll arrive here on April 3 next year.
