Fans of the action-packed movie "Fast & Furious 7" will finally see the the film's much-awaited trailer in November.  This is according to the producers of the franchise, who also showed a photo of Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) next to a sleek black car.

Diesel was reportedly filled with awe after watching the trailer made by Universal Pictures.  He stated that he felt "emotional and bittersweet," remembering his friend and co-star Paul Walker, who passed away in November last year.

"We all went above and beyond to make Pablo proud, but man, I wish he could see what we have created and just how far we have come," Diesel said.

Walker passed away before "Fast & Furious 7" finished shooting, so the producers asked Walker's brothers, Caleb and Cody Walker, to fill in the unfinished scenes.  The scenes were done with some help from modern computer technology.

The producers celebrated Walker on his birthday on Sept. 12, and even made a video of the festivities in the movie set a year ago.

Meanwhile, the plot of "Fast & Furious 7" circles around Ian Shaw (Jason Statham) and his plot to avenge the death of his brother, which he pinned on Toretto and his friends.  The movie is also set to take on a thriller vibe, as director James Wan revealed the action movie will be connected with "Death Sentence," one of the films Wan had previously directed.  He stated that both movies revolve around the concept of revenge.

"Hollow Man" actor Kevin Bacon, who also starred in James Wan's "Death Sentence," will also appear in "Fast & Furious 7," according to the horror-movie director.

The seventh movie in the "Fast & Furious" franchise will star Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Jordana Brewster, and the late Paul Walker.  "Fast &Furious 7" is set to premiere on April 3, 2015.
