After the untimely and shocking death of Fast & Furious star Paul Walker, the production of the seventh edition in the film series had stalled but is once again rolling. Fans of the franchise and the late actor will not have to worry, because Paul Walker will remain in the film.

To keep the star’s presence and complete the film, scenes will be shot featuring body doubles and CGI technology. Confidential, of the New York  Daily News, reports a source revealed “they have hired four actors with bodies very similar to Paul’s physique and they will be used for movement and as a base.” CGI will be used to grab the characteristics of Walker’s face as well as his voice.

This approach to finish the film is on that Universal Pictures “feels confident fans of the franchise will feel satisfied with the result.” Fast & Furious 7 is scheduled to hit theaters on April 10, 2015.
