6. Paul Walker's Brothers Will Help Finish Fast And Furious 7
One of the biggest questions that arose after the tragic death of Paul Walker late last year was what would happen to Fast And Furious 7. Walker was still hard at work on the film when he passed, and production came to a screeching halt after his fatal car crash. After some time, the studio moved the release date to April 2015, and not too long ago we heard that body doubles and CGI would be used to finish the scenes featuring Walker that were left incomplete. Now, TMZ has the scoop that Walker's own brothers, Caleb and Cody, will be lending their voices to the production. The filmmakers will merge archival audio of Walker's voice with his brothers' voices to fill in any gaps in the movie. They will need to use both brothers because certain words sound better coming from one of them than they do from the other. Those voices will then be combined to make the dialogue work. This is certainly an interesting way to do it, and one that helps respect Walker's memory. We knew that they wouldn't cut his character out of the film completely, so finishing his scenes was the only option.
