Fast & Furious 7

[Octoberist]

I think..they'll have to delay the film and work around it. I have no idea what they're gonna do.

 

[MrMaooz]

To be honest, I always used to rag on the guy and make fun of him for his performances in F&F.

Has there been a source other than TMZ that has reported this? I'm in shock I am still clinging to any hope that this is a hoax. ....

It's gonna be a little unsettling watching some of those past action scenes from the previous flicks where he got wrecked but still made it.

 

[MadVillainy]

do you guys think they'll end the series after 7. I know the franchise has kinda moved on from Walker's character in Fast 5 and 6, but idk it'd be weird not having him in it.
Or if they do continue it I could see them bumping up Lucas BLack's character since he was meant to be the new franchise lead anyway

His rep, as well as his official FB and Twitter confirmed it.

Very sad and tragic news. Condolences to his family. This franchise won't be the same.

It is with a truly heavy heart that we must confirm that Paul Walker passed away today in a tragic car accident while attending a charity event for his organization Reach Out Worldwide. He was a passenger in a friend's car, in which both lost their lives. We appreciate your patience as we too are stunned and saddened beyond belief by this news. Thank you for keeping his family and friends in your prayers during this very difficult time. We will do our best to keep you apprised on where to send condolences. - #TeamPW

It's been confirmed on his official Twitter and FB accounts, as well as by the studio.

Terrible news.

Don't even try to salvage Fast 7. Shut it down and close the franchise.

 

[Kane52630]

I still think the movie will still go, they are pretty deep into production to not complete it.

Don't even try to salvage Fast 7. Shut it down and close the franchise.

unfortunately man that's not how Hollywood works in two years time some big shot will say let's make F&F 8.

 

[MrMaooz]

Do you guys think they'll delay the release?

 

[Sawyer]

Don't even try to salvage Fast 7. Shut it down and close the franchise.

Yeah, I'm sure that's what he'd want. Unemployment for all his co-workers.

 

[ShadowBoxer]

Yea this will definitely derail Fast 7 if Paul didn't finish his scenes. I wouldn't mind if they decided not to release the movie in respect to him, but we know greedy movie studios they will still release Fast 7 and will either write his character off randomly or kill off his character ( which would be tasteless).

 

[Zeus]

How can the actors even be prepared to continue filming after this?

 

[james-in-cali]

It's been confirmed on his official Twitter and FB accounts, as well as by the studio.

Terrible news.

Yeah I saw it. .... sucks so bad. I feel terrible for immediately thinking about fast 7. Rip dude you will be missed.

Why are you hating on the fact that the studio will complete the movie?

The world is full of film productions, guy.

 

[Octoberist]

It's so strange that even though Paul's official Facebook page confirmed this, everyone is screaming 'hoax'. Denial is a strange thing.

It's going to depend of course on how much of his filming was completed, but then there's still the issue of whether he would have been needed for post production work like ADR. Honestly, it's a predicament for all involved where there's not going to be an easy answer.

 

[MadVillainy]

are people really calling Universal greedy for releasing Fast 7?

 

[ShadowBoxer]

I am not hating on them, but in a situation like this, it's best to be respectful to Paul's memory and family. If the movie doesn't work without him then take a lost and can it. If they can make Fast 7 in a tasteful way in light of this event then go for it. But the idea of Fast 8-10 should be canned no matter what.

I had just bought my brother-in-law all 6 movies on blu-ray for Christmas a few days ago. Bizarrely, that was the first thing I thought when I heard the news.
