Furious 7

Furious 7 (often stylized as Furious Seven and alternatively known as Fast Seven or Fast & Furious 7) is a 2015 American action film directed by James Wan and written by Chris Morgan. It is the seventh installment in the Fast and the Furious franchise. The film stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Kurt Russell, and Jason Statham. Furious 7 follows Dominic Toretto (Diesel), Brian O'Conner (Walker) and the rest of their team, who have returned to the United States to live normal lives after securing amnesty for their past crimes in Fast & Furious 6 (2013), until Deckard Shaw (Statham), a rogue special forces assassin seeking to avenge his comatose younger brother, puts them in danger once again.

With the previous three installments set between 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) and The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), Furious 7 is the first installment in the franchise to take place after Tokyo Drift. The film also marks the final film appearance of Walker, who died in a single-vehicle accident on November 30, 2013, with filming only half-completed. Following Walker's death, filming was delayed for script rewrites, and his brothers, Caleb and Cody, were used among others as stand-ins to complete his remaining scenes.

Furious 7 (score)

Furious 7: Original Motion Picture Score is the soundtrack to the film of the same name. The score was composed by Brian Tyler. The album, with a total of 28 tracks, was released on CD and digital distribution by Back Lot Music on March 31, 2015 with 76 minutes and 42 seconds worth of music.

When discussing the creation of the score, Tyler explained: "It was a pleasure to collaborate with James [Wan] on Furious 7, as he wanted the emotion of the themes to be the primary focus. The music uses modern recording techniques, vintage modular synthesizers, mashed-up beats, drums and tweaked remix elements along with classic film scoring traditions including full orchestra, piano, voice and classical guitar. I am so proud of the movie, and I dedicate the score to the memory of Paul Walker and all the joy he brought."

In describing Tyler's score, Wan remarked, "Brian's amazing score gave this movie life. He did an incredible job of crafting an electrifying score for the bombastic action moments, one that is balanced by the beautiful and emotional themes of the characters that underline the heart of this movie."

Furious (play)

Furious is an Australian play script by Michael Gow, first performed in 1991. The play centers on family secrets, betrayal, and the exploration of the age of consent for homosexual males.

Of the play, the Sydney Morning Herald praised it saying "its intensity and energy, it was as if Gow had captured an emotional state and hurled it like a thunderbolt upon the stage for us all to see". In her book The Body in the Library, Leigh Dale comments that the play "stages a gothicized and problematical version of the trope of the liberation of the insane".

Furious (album)

Furious is the only album by the supergroup Soopa Villainz released in 2005. The album peaked at #9 on the Billboard "Top Independent Albums" chart, #42 on the "Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums" chart and #92 on the Billboard 200.

Background and recording

Originally planned to be recorded and released in 2003. The project was put on hold due to solo releases from Joseph Bruce who was releasing his debut solo EP Wizard of the Hood, and Esham was preparing to release an album titled Repentance. The Project was put on the backburner until 2004 when rumors were debunked at the 2004 Gathering of the Juggalos about name changes and added members like Tech N9ne and Layzie Bone were debunked by Bruce and Smith themselves. In late 2004 Lavel was seen onstage with Bruce's brother Jumpsteady's hypeman during a 2005 tour sporting a hatchet man charm. When asked it was revealed that Lavel would be part of the project as well. Recording of the album lasted 4 months and it would turn out to be a true tour-de-force for Esham as he was also working on material for an unreleased solo album titled "Club Evil". The entire album is a concept album based upon a story of the 4 members coming from another planet to take over the world.
