Paul Walker’s Brother May Step In For Final Scenes Of Fast & The Furious 7

Paul Walker's younger brother has reportedly been asked to step in and film Paul's final scenes for The Fast & The Furious 7.

Cody (25), who is very similar in looks to his brother Paul, has previously worked as a movie stuntman.

40-year-old Paul was on a break from filming at the time of his death in a horrific car crash two weeks ago.

Following Paul's death, Universal Pictures announced it was their 'duty' to shut down production - adding they were 'dedicated to providing support to Paul's immediate family and our extended Fast & Furious family of cast, crew, and filmmakers.'

A source close to production said today: 'Producers had a string of meetings right after Paul's death.

'They soon realized they needed someone who looked like Paul to finish the movie and that's when they approached his nearly identical brother, Cody.'

The source continued: 'They can shoot Cody from behind and at distance and if it's a shot they need Paul's face in close up they can CGI it later on.

'If Cody agrees it's because he wants to honor his brother's memory. There are many details that still need to be worked out, but right now the family and cast and crew are all still grieving.'

Universal Pictures intend to work with the Walker family and take their guidance on a fitting exit for Paul's Fast & Furious character, Brian O'Connor, according to the source.
