Universal has released a new Furious 7 poster, and it comes up just shy of saying "In Memoriam" as the tagline.  Instead, it gives us Vin Diesel with his head down, a close up of Paul Walker, and the words "One Last Ride."  We're pretty sure the "last ride" isn't in reference to the franchise.  But it's still a surprisingly somber poster for a movie that promises to be a big, goofy blockbuster.  It's a difficult line to walk, but so far Universal has done a good job of honoring Walker's memory while still reminding fans that they'll be in for a fun time at the movies.

Furious 7 opens April 3rd, and also stars Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Michelle RodriguezTyrese GibsonJordana Brewster, Ronda Rousey, Tony JaaLudacrisNathalie Emmanuel, Djimon HounsouLucas Black, and Elsa Pataky.
