Paul Walker, the “Fast & Furious” actor who died in late November, is appearing in “Brick Mansions"--one of his last films to be released.
Walker plays Damien Collier, an undercover cop whose girlfriend his kidnapped by a druglord, in the movie, described as an action-thriller.
The movie will premiere in theaters April 25, and a sneak peak for the movie was shown on Entertainment Tonight earlier this week.
The film, directed by Camille Delamarre, also stars RZA--the Wu-Tang Clang rapper and producer.
“Brick Mansions” is a remake of French film “District B13.” The film also stars David Belle, an originator of the building-jumping art of Parkour.
The film was Walker’s last project before he died in a fiery car crash in Santa Clarita, Calif.
The trailer was released after reports said this week that Walker left $25 million to his 15-year-old daughter Meadow Walker.
TMZ reported that he didn’t leave anything else to other family members or his longtime girlfriend, Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell. His mother, Cheryl Walker, was appointed as Meadow’s guardian, court documents said.
Walker’s father, Paul Walker Sr., was appointed as the executor of his estate and filed his son’s will in a Los Angeles court, the website reported.
Meadow Walker, in a Facebook post following her father’s death, described her father as her “hero.” She wrote: “When I was little he taught me to walk, taught me to smile and taught me to never give up. I loved him even before I knew what love was.”
Regarding “Fast & Furious 7”--which also stars Walker--the producers have to rewrite most of the film before it is to be released in 2015.
“They’re having to rewrite, they’re having to do whatever they’re having to do to deal with the situation,” actor Kurt Russell, who will apear in “Fast & Furious 7,” told The Associated Press. “Listen, it’s catastrophic.” Russell plays the father to Vin Diesel’s character in the movie.
Tyrese Gibson, a “Fast & Furious” castmate, told reporters in December that the movie will start filming again this year.
