An inside source spoke to TMZ revealing how the differences between Walker and his younger brothers, Caleb and Cody, would be done away with using special processes and techniques.
"The production team for 'FF7' will try something they have never done before ... merging archival audio of Walker's voice with his brothers' voices to fill in some gaps in the movie," the source said. "It will take both brothers, Caleb and Cody, to get everything to match up. Our sources say the production team tested the voice of each brother and learned that certain words sound better coming from one brother, and different ones from the other ... so they will combine them to help make the dialogue work."
