Paul Walker's Fast & Furious co-stars have been speaking out on how the seventh movie will handle Brian O'Conner's exit from the franchise after the death of Walker last year.
The seventh movie in the global hit series was put on hold in the immediate aftermath of Walker's death at the age of 40 last November. The actor was on a Thanksgiving break from production on the movie, when a car he was travelling in crashed at high speed, killing both Walker and the driver, his friend Roger Rodas.

Jordana Brewster is preparing to head back to set after production was restarted at the end of last month. The actress knows it will be a tough time, "I'm sure it will be very bittersweet," the star told E! News at the Marie Claire Fresh Faces party on Tuesday. "We all just want to honor Paul going back."

"That's all under lock and key. I'm not able to say anything," Brewster insisted.

"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 inside source has told the New York Daily News. "Paul's face and voice will be used on top using CGI."
