The unfortunate news of the weekend was the accidental death of Paul Walker, best known
for the Fast & Furious series, although it is considered by many as an underrated actor
who was still waiting for the role of his life when tragedy struck .
Appropriate or not, it was inevitable that came the question of what will happen to the
production of Fast & Furious 7, which was a short rest period. According to reports
, the movie was already filmed more than half , but there were several portions of filming
right now are in the air because they require the character Brian O'Conner , played by Walker.
Director James Wan had a conversation with executives from Universal this Sunday on options
to continue filming , which will definitely happen , but do not know how. Here we speculate
on the possible death of the character at some point in the film, but it is not easy
to do this kind of drastic changes in the middle of a film that already had a pretty
clear script.
And also reported that Universal are considering completely discard all the footage shot so
far of the seventh film , and restart with a different script , rather than on the actual
story was the character played by Walker in the center of everything .
Despite being a production of nearly $ 200 million , the company is insured for special
cases like this, and a restart of production is not an unreasonable choice as many would
believe , since I spent so far would Universal to allow work from zero.
Most likely the closest to Walker, as Vin Diesel, are not interested in restarting production
from scratch and find a way to keep the scenes and filmed with the actor, explaining somehow
his departure so that it is within history.
Either way , ensure that the decision you make , will be the product of a thorough analysis
, since it is a pretty delicate situation , given the way the actor on Saturday November
30 died .
The concrete now is that production will be postponed , probably for a few weeks while
they decide how to proceed , but the movie definitely hit the theaters. It is also likely
that the release scheduled for July 11, 2014 is not met, but right now , there really is
nothing decided.
