Paul William Walker IV, the American actor who died at the age of 40 in a car crash on 30 November in Santa Clarita, California, while he was on break from the upcoming and much waited movie.
His brother, Cody Walker has worked as a stuntman, and recently has been requested to step in to help the filmmakers finish the movie as tribute to his brother.
According to reports, the producers of the movie soon realized that they will need someone who looked like Paul to finish the movie and that’s when they approached his nearly identical brother, Cody.
The producers of the movie have decided to shoot Cody from behind and at distance and if it’s a shot they need Paul’s face in close up they can CGI it later on.
Cody Walker, 25, lives in Oregon but is currently staying at his mother Cheryl Walker’s home in Los Angeles ahead of Paul’s funeral.
Universal Pictures discontinued the production of the movie, which had started in in September, the moment they heard about Paul’s death.
According a source working closely with the studio, claimed that the company was thinking about whether the film could be salvaged by reworking the script to write out Paul’s character, Brian O’Conner. One of the spokesperson of the studio refused to comment on the status of the things.
According to a source, Universal Pictures have also made a decision to work with and under the guidance of the Walker family on a fitting exit for Paul’s Fast & Furious character, Brian O’Connor.
