‘Furious 7’ behind-the-scenes footage released; Super Bowl spot rumored

'Furious 7,' the seventh installment of the 'Fast and the Furious' movie franchise, has a new teaser trailer out showing seven seconds of behind-the-scenes footage. Though unconfirmed,  the clip is thought to be a teaser for a longer spot set to air during this weekend’s Super Bowl XLIX.

Following last November’s release of the first trailer for Furious 7, the seventh installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise, the producers of the film have now released a short teaser trailer showing seven seconds of behind-the-scenes footage of some of the new movie’s stunts.

The stunts appear to be at scenes throughout the movie and include a car flying out of a building, two cars racing through a forest and what even looks like a blue Nissan GT-R, the latter likely to be the car of Brian O'Conner, played by the late Paul Walker.

Though it’s yet to be confirmed, the short clip is thought to be a teaser for a longer spot set to air during this weekend’s Super Bowl XLIX. Trailers from previous Fast movies have been shown during Super Bowl so we wouldn’t be surprised if the producers of Furious 7 have something planned for this year’s Big Game.

The new movie hits theaters nationwide on April 3, 2015. It's been directed by James Wan, famous for movies like Saw and The Conjuring, and stars most of the old crew, including Paul Walker. Some of the late actor’s scenes were completed with the help of brothers Cody and Caleb Walker together with some CGI magic. New faces include the likes of Tony Jaa, Djimon Hounsou, Kurt Russell and bad guy Jason Statham.

As for Super Bowl XLIX, the action gets underway this Sunday with the New England Patriots facing off against the Seattle Seahawks at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. You can see some of the other spots set to air during the game at this link.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
