… and it will make its premiere in front of Jason Statham’s futuristic (it is futuristic, right?) car death racing movie “Death Race”, which opens next week. Hey, it’s perfect cross-promotion — why wouldn’t the same people who flock to see movies about car racing in the streets flock to go see a movie about car racing in prison? It’s, like, synergy or something like that. Anyways, it’s been ages since we’ve had any “The Fast and Furious 4″ news for you guys, and we thought we’d pass this one along. As is usually the case, the trailer itself should hit the net on the same day that “Death Race” opens, which will be on Friday next week, so mark your calendars, kiddos.

Here’s Joblo.com with a bit more details on the trailer:

We’ve learned that the trailer for their new movie, FAST AND FURIOUS, will be in theaters with DEATH RACE a week from today. Kinda perfect marketing, eh? The trailer will run 2:07 so we should be getting some meat and potatoes and not just a short tease.

“The Fast and Furious 4″, since retitled “Fast and Furious” (because, you know, all that “the” stuff just gets in the way of all the fast and furiousing), reteams the original team of Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, and Jordana Brewster. Michelle Rodriguez also returns for a brief cameo. Justin Lin, who directed the previous installment, “Tokyo Drift”, makes his second movie in the franchise with this one.
