How to shoot speed and passion 7 when Paul Walker died? The fate of the film has yet to be determine

"Speed and passion 7" star Paul Walker died in a car accident, and how to deal with his role play is currently under discussion by the producers. Now that the production of the film has been suspended, what will happen to the film?

After Paul Walker died in a car accident, what does Universal Pictures plan to do with "speed and passion 7"? The analysis shows that there are three feasible solutions: the first is to shoot according to the original script, find a double and let Walker perform the trick with the help of special effects; the second is to write the character Brian & middot; O'Connor to death or disappear; the third is to make him disappear; The third is to give up Brian O'Connor and start shooting again.

After Paul Walker's accident, universal boss Jeff shell, studio leader Donna Langley, producer Neil H & middot; Morris, producer and co Star Fan & middot; dessel, director James Wynn, and other relevant personnel held an emergency meeting to discuss the fate of speed and passion 7. The point is, it's hard to make a choice. Everyone has a vote and a different opinion. Universal pictures would rather delay more time than make decisions that hurt the interests of all parties in a hurry.

However, insiders who knew the details burst out that the producers of "speed and passion 7" preferred a third option, that is, to give up Brian & middot; O'Connor and rewrite the story and shoot again. The reason for this choice is that, on the one hand, the filmmaker has already bought accident insurance for the film before shooting. If the film is remade, the money spent (with a budget of 200 million dollars) will not be borne by the investor, but by the insurance company.

In addition, "speed and passion" is a major global brand series. The first six films have received more than $2 billion at the global box office, and "speed and passion 6" has achieved the best performance in the series, with a global box office of nearly 800 million. If the first two ways are adopted, in order to keep Paul Walker's part, and deliberately let Brian & middot; O'Connor die or disappear in the seventh film, how to write the sequel? Will the audience lose interest?

However, another source told wrap that some decision makers did not support it. Because they are in line with the majority of the audience - "what would this play look like without Paul Walker?" and there was a lack of respect for the dead and the fans. As soon as the news of the remake of "speed and passion 7" came out, many netizens left messages asking for "Paul Walker!" in the movie

Up to now, universal has not issued an official statement, and the source said the final decision will take several weeks.
