Paul Walker’s Family Speak On The Fate Of ‘Fast & Furious 7′

When Paul Walker tragically passed away in a car crash on November 30th, many wondered about the fate of ‘Fast & Furious,’ as he was in the middle of shooting the seventh installment of the wildly popular movie franchise. Paul has been a part of the F&F family since the very start, and was a huge part of the franchise’s success. Now his family is speaking out about what their wishes are for Paul’s role, and fans will be very happy with the news.

Filming for ’7′ began back in September, and was on a Thanksgiving break when the tragedy struck. Universal Pictures recently announced they are suspending production “for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise,” but if Paul’s parents have any say in it, their son’s role will not be edited out.

“They don’t want him cut out of the movie,” a source close to the family revealed. “It wouldn’t be what Paul would have wanted. Paul absolutely loved being a part of the Fast & Furious franchise. His family knows writers and producers will handle Paul’s death with dignity and understanding.”

Filming of the Fast & Furious 7 is expected to resume in late January or early February 2014.
