‘Fast and Furious 7’ Update: Paul Walker’s Brothers to Fill In for Certain Action Scenes

Paul Walker's brothers, Caleb and Cody, will help film scenes for "Fast and Furious 7," the movie announced on their official Facebook page. Caleb and Cody will stand-in to film certain scenes for their late brother.

"We have resumed shooting and now welcome Paul's brothers, Caleb and Cody, into our FAST family," a post on the movie's Facebook page read. "Caleb and Cody are helping us complete some remaining action for their brother and fill in small gaps left in production. Having them on set has made us all feel that Paul is with us too."

According to The Wrap, an individual close to production said that the brothers would only fill in for certain scenes and computer graphics would be used to hide any differences between Cody and Celeb's bodies and their brother's.

The two will not be replacing the actor for the entire movie. In the Facebook post, producers said that Walker had already filmed a majority of his action and dramatic scenes noting that it was "among the strongest work of his career."

Production for the film was halted following the actor's tragic death last November. Walker, and a friend, died in a car crash on Nov. 30, 2013 while attending a Reach Out Worldwide charity event in California.

At the time of his death, the "Takers" star was in the middle of production for "Fast 7," where he played Brian O'Connor.

"Our family experienced an unthinkable shock in November," the Facebook post read. "We had to take time to grieve Paul, the brother we lost, and to figure out if we should move on with our film. We came together and all felt the only choice was to continue. We believe our fans want that, and we believe Paul would want that too."

"We are just under a year away from the release of 'Fast and Furious 7,' and this film is the most important we've ever done together," the post continued. "It will allow the character Brian O'Connor to live on and let us celebrate Paul in his most defining role."

"Fast and Furious 7" hits theaters Apr. 10, 2015.
