With Paul's death, the shooting agenda of "speed and passion 7" has been greatly affected, and Paul's absence has also had a great impact on the progress of the film and the shaping of characters. Recently, the film maker disclosed three solutions, but the specific solutions have caused a lot of controversy. Recently, Director Wen Ziren said that the film will be remade, and the script will be changed, and Paul's part will be reduced accordingly.
After Paul Walker died in a car accident, whether speed and passion 7 can continue smoothly has always been the focus of attention. Although the director has said that he will not give up the film, people are still worried. This morning, Universal Pictures officially announced that the remake plan of "speed and passion 7" will be announced soon.
The remake was put on the agenda and the script was changed
After Paul Walker's death, the chief creator of "speed and passion 7" and the top management of Universal Pictures, the producer of "speed and passion 7", had a discussion at the first time to find the most appropriate solution.
Director Wen Ziren said that at present, the crew has already had a way to remake, but it is still unable to reveal, "I can only say that this is the last remedy we can think of at present, and we will give Paul's Brian & middot; O'Connor the most special way to leave. '
In the current speculation of foreign media, the most feasible way is to find a stand in or simulate shooting with special effects. Many media, including Hollywood report and variety show, believe that if there is a fake Paul Walker, fans will boycott him.
To be sure, the current "speed and passion 7" team is urgently revising the script, reducing Paul's part accordingly, and making the film's plot more compact.
The film has been insured and the investment will not be affected
Paul Walker's death will inevitably lead to the delay of film schedule, which naturally brings a lot of economic losses to the film makers. However, Universal Pictures has said that the scale of the film and the investment in post production will not be reduced at all.
According to people familiar with the matter, the current "speed and passion 7" crew is going through the claim process, and the insurance company will pay for the additional production costs of the film. According to many American media analysis, the "film completion guarantee" system, which was rarely used in the past, has finally had an effect, which is enough to allow the investment in "speed and passion 7" to continue.
The accident of "speed and passion 7" makes many Hollywood blockbusters, such as "Star Wars 7" and "Avengers Alliance 2", who are still in the early stage of production or shooting, to make preparations for the film, so as to ensure the smooth completion of the film. Some insiders told reporters that at present, as long as the production cost is more than 10 million US dollars, they will buy the film guarantee, but it is rarely used in shooting.
