Vin Diesel found it emotional watching the "incredible" trailer for Fast & Furious 7.

The actor hopes his late friend and co-star Paul Walker, who he affectionately calls Pablo, would be proud.

"Speechless... yeah, it was that INCREDIBLE!," he said on his Facebook page.

"I must also say, that it was emotional and bittersweet... 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 also posted two images from the film.

One shows himself and Walker in a garage, wearing suits and looking solemn, presumably connected to a previously released image of a funeral scene.

The other is a shot of the buff Diesel bandaging his hands, perhaps (and knowing his character Dom Toretto, more than likely) preparing for a fight.
