 How do you continue a film franchise without one of its most beloved stars? Fast and Furious fans now have their answer. I'm Chris Sigler and this is 90 Seconds on the Verge. In a Facebook post this week, the production team behind Fast and Furious 7 announced that Paul Walker's brothers, Cody and Caleb, would be stepping in to fill, quote, "...small gaps in some remaining action that was left unfilmed in the wake of the actor's unexpected death." The production was temporarily put on hold upon Walker's death, as screenwriter Chris Morgan rewrote the script to give Walker's character Brian O'Connor an honorable send-off. Fast and Furious 7 is due for release April 10, 2015. Tragedy like this, sadly, isn't that uncommon in Hollywood. When actor Richard Harris died in 2002 following his portrayal of Dumbledore in the first two Harry Potter movies, Michael Gambon took on the role for the remainder of the series. But as with Walker, what happens when you lose an actor in the midst of production, when recasting isn't an option? Philip Seymour Hoffman had one major scene left to film for the final Hunger Games movie when he died in February. That film was expected to hit theaters in November 2015. According to The Hollywood Reporter, a source close to the production says they're considering, quote, "...digital things as well as editing workarounds to hide his absence." The same combination of tricks was used in 1994 when Brandon Lee died during the filming of The Crow. And then there's the imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. When Heath Ledger died in 2008, director Terry Gilliam proceeded to cast Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law to shoot Ledger's remaining scenes, writing the physical transformation into the story itself.
