Vin Diesel would be making it hard to make Fast & Furious 7

Worrying rumors come from behind the scenes of Fast & Furious 7 and the news is not brought by any tabloid, but one of the most reliable sources on film and TV: The Hollywood Reporter. According to the site, filming of the hit franchise sequence is delayed, not because of Paul Walker's digitization in some scenes, but because of Vin Diesel, who seems to be having difficulty carrying on the follow-up work on the film in which would be your castmate and friend who died in November 2013.

Backstage complaints

Paul Walker's digitization process, in some scenes, involves the use of stuntmen (including his two brothers), which will be the basis for recording the character's movement. Walker's face would be inserted into these stunt people through computer graphics and his voice generated from digital tools.

According to production sources, Diesel has been so difficult to deal with in recent weeks that some involved in the film have figured it would be easier if the star also had his digital participation, such as Walker - an idea that is more for conversation. of workplace corridors rather than an official position.

“Vin spent the whole day in the trailer once, ” said someone close to the production. “The next day, they waited for hours. He asked for a meeting in his trailer with studio executives [on May 28] for two and a half hours to say, 'What the hell am I doing here?' ” The day after this event, the source states, the work was completed using stunt people.

Another source says that the production work, because of this, has been frustrating and that those involved in the film are low morale.

The other side

Universal Pictures studio, however, denies rumors of problems: “This movie is dealing with some challenges that are unprecedented in history. The production and the cast, led by Vin, have been nothing but fantastic under these circumstances. ”

In his Facebook, Diesel indirectly criticized these comments, talking about what it was like to work with the real Paul Walker (something no digitization can bring back) and showing his dissatisfaction with this shooting process of the late actor.

"There wasn't a scene in the saga he didn't want to discuss, or improve ... Even if it was changing a line or adding a specific nuance to enrich a moment. He did it proudly to know that for over a decade playing Brian Through four directors, multiple writers and new producers, he was able to maintain the spirit of the character he created, "says the actor on the social network.

Diesel goes on: "He always knew I would fight for him, either by protecting him in a new deal or protecting his integrity. He knew that for a better movie, I would do whatever it took." "With our ambitious new visual effects team, the whole production and cast has had to adjust to this weird and uncomfortable process of [putting] pixels on people. In addition to the obvious strings attached to the director, the challenge is not allow it to compromise what makes this character so special. "

For now, Fast & Furious 7 has a release date for April 10, 2015 in US theaters.
