14 DAY TRIAL // After months of speculation as to the future of the movie and the entire “Fast & Furious” franchise, the first confirmations started coming in that the seventh installment is going to resume filming in May in Abu Dhabi.
Now, the more burning question as to what exactly happens to Paul Walker's character has been answered by a report from New York Daily News that claims the late actor will be replaced with a mixture of body doubles and CGI.
In fact, the entire replacing technology for Walker, who has died in a November last year in a car crash, is made up of CGI, voice-effects and body doubles, in order to recreate a similar image that is believable by movie goers.
“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,” says an insider with the production.
The general consensus of the production team is that the fans will be satisfied with the end result, and this will prove a fitting tribute for the actor that has played in every movie in the franchise so far, except for the third part “Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift.”
Meanwhile, on a post on Facebook, Vin Diesel has confirmed that the movie is going to come out on April 10, 2015.
