Yesterday it was confirmed that the brothers of Paul Walker, who died in November, will fill in for the late action star in order to complete scenes in the upcoming film Fast & Furious 7.
Paul Walker’s brothers are stepping to help finish filming on Fast & Furious 7, the film Walker was in the midst of making when he died in November.
”Our family experienced an unthinkable shock in November. We had to take time to grieve Paul, the brother we love and lost, and to figure out if we should move on with our film,” said a statement on the film’s Facebook page.
”We came together and all felt the only choice was to continue. We believe our fans want that, and we believe Paul would want that too. Paul had already shot his dramatic scenes and most of his action for Fast & Furious 7, and it’s among the strongest work of his career.”
Caleb Walker and Cody Walker have been enlisted to complete their brother’s action scenes and “fill in small gaps left in production,” Universal Pictures said in a statement on Tuesday on the film’s Facebook page.
“Having them on set has made us feel that Paul is with us too,” read the statement.
Production on Fast & Furious 7 recently resumed after it was suspended following Walker’s death. Walker played Brian O’Conner, an undercover federal agent.
Walker, 40, died in a car crash on November 30 outside Los Angeles along with his friend Roger Rodas. A police investigation found the Porsche that Rodas was driving was traveling up to 94 mph (151.25 km) when it went out of control.
