'Fast and Furious 7' Production Continues Despite Paul Walker's Death
According to various sources, the production of "Fast and Furious 7" is set to continue despite Paul Walker's tragic death last Saturday, November 30th. Ironically, the actor lost his life in a car accident after a friend who drove the vehicle - a Porsche Carrera GT - lost control of the steering wheel and crashed into a tree at high speed, causing the car to explode.
The accident took place in Valencia, California, where Walker was attending a charity event organized by his Reach Out Worldwide institution, which sends relief teams to locations hit by natural disasters. The actor had already started filming the franchise's seventh sequel - due for release in the US next July - and would even be back in shooting in a few days.
Much of the film has already been filmed, and it is not known how the producers will get around the lack of “Brian O'Conner, ” the character played by Walker. In addition, the death of the actor - who just missed out on one of the movie's sequels - could put an end to the Fast and Furious franchise.
A sinister curiosity surrounding Paul Walker's death was news about his death that began to circulate well on the eve of the accident. The rumor is believed to have arisen from a joke created by the spoof website MediaMass.net, and some fans even believed the rumor until the actor's representative went public to deny the information. However, a few hours later, the star's death was sadly confirmed.
