The film shooting is set to recommence on James Wan’s Fast & Furious 7 which needed to be reorganized after the sudden death of the co-star, Paul Walker. We all are aware that there have been rewrites on the continuation along with that Walker’s role, Brian O’Conner, will remain a superstar of the movie. However, currently we are starting to hear the news on what the ingenious team of the Fast & Furious series will do to take the place of the Walker in the upcoming part.
The production of the film has already been started and there have been changes in the scripts after Walker’s death. Previously, it was reported that Walker’s character will be shown as dead in the rest of them film. But now we are getting the news that the creative team of Fast and Furious Franchise may bring in a replacement for the part of Walker.
A number of media sources has reported how the production team has planned to progress with the project. A source says:
"They have hired four actors with bodies very similar to Paul’s physique and they will be used for movement and as a base. Paul’s face and voice will be used on top using CGI."
There are many rumors that that Paul’s own brother might be used as substitute for the late actor. It seems that Universal studio, Wan and the producers have decided to do so in an attempt to complete the project in most effective way.
It is not a latest approach. This method has currently been used by the creators of “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay”, after the sudden death of Philip Seymour Hoffman who was playing one of the lead characters. CGI technology has become so much advanced today that it can be used to come up with such visual tricks. Is it the most effective choice? Definitely not. But mega budget film projects have to go for complex imaginative options to defend their investments following misfortune. A number of media reports are hinting that Fast fans will acknowledge the solution if it can revive Walker’s character.
Paul’s co-star and best friend, Vin Diesel, meanwhile paid yet another tribute to him on Facebook by sharing a picture with the enigmatic caption "The Two Pauls", and fans have been asking Vin about the other Paul guy beside Walker.
What are your views about such a new tactic to fill the gap left by the sudden demise of the late actor?
