The highly anticipated Fast & Furious 7 movie features the late Paul Walker who died at the age of 40 during a car crash. Since then, the filming of the Fast & Furious franchise was put on hold until recently.

The producers of the movie confirmed on April 15, that Caleb and Cody Walker have signed on to shoot the remaining scenes featuring Paul Walker’s character.

According to a source the producers of Fast & Furious approached Paul Walker’s nearly identical brother “Cody” last December. Cody Walker worked as a stuntman in the past.

The source also revealed that Cody Walker agrees with the producers intention because he wants to honor his brother’s memory. The producers also explained that they “can shoot Cody from behind and at distance and if it’s a shot they need Paul Walker’s face in close up they can CGI it later on.”

The Fast & Furious official Facebook Page also aired the following statement:

“The Fast & Furious saga is about family. 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.”

“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.

“We have resumed shooting and now welcome Paul’s brothers, Caleb and Cody, into our Fast family.

“Caleb and Cody are helping us complete some remaining action for their brother and fill in small gaps left in production. Having them on set has made us all feel that Paul is with us too.”
