"They have hired four actors with bodies very similar to Paul's physique and they will be used for movement and as a base," an insider close to production said. "Paul's face and voice will be used on top using CGI."
There were constant rumors of what the filmmakers planned to do with Walker's character after he was killed in a car accident last November. People wondered if his character would be killed off or if he would retire. While the character's true fate is still undetermined, scenes that required Walker's involvement will still be shot thanks to the special effects.
Last Wednesday, a report from TooFab mentioned that Tyrese Gibson, another actor from the film, is grieving for Walker along with his co-stars.
"This is the only movie I ever worked on where we are all real close even after the movie is over," Gibson told the website. "It wasn't just losing a co-star, he was family for real. That's why it took so long to recover."
Gibson then said that the people on set were going to have a moment to pray before filming.
"God's grace is all we have," Gibson said. "Before we start filming, we are going to have a strong prayer. That will be the start, before we film anything. That's what's needed for us to do Fast and Furious 7."
Fast and Furious 7 is set to hit theaters on April 10, 2015.
