AI could “bring Paul Walker back to life” in the next installment of ‘Fast & Furious’: his brother rules himself out from playing him
The actor died in a car accident in 2013
"The ‘Fast & Furious’ film saga, or better known by its English title ‘Fast & Furious’, began in 2001, but what no one could foresee or imagine is that 25 years later, the franchise would still be profitable. After 10 films, plus a ‘spin-off’ , the movies starring Vin Diesel are still appreciated by audiences, especially after the death in 2013, in a tragic car accident, of one of the main actors, Paul Walker .
However, with the passage of time and the arrival of new technologies in the film industry, Walker's presence could become a reality in the next release if the words spoken by his brother Cody come true, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
Both Cody and his brother Caleb already took part in the seventh installment, as it was during its filming that Paul died. His brothers stood in for him in that movie so the filming could be completed.
Cody Walker: “I couldn’t do it again”
Now, 13 years after his death, Paul's figure has returned to the spotlight following his brother's words in the aforementioned outlet . It seems that the saga will come to an end with the eleventh film, which could afford to have Walker in the cast thanks to artificial intelligence. “My stance is that they should do whatever Meadow (Paul's daughter) wants to see,” he said before adding, “I would not be interested in doing it again.”
In fact, his brother praised the way Paul’s character, Brian O’Connor, was written off the screen, as he left to lead a quiet life with Mia (played by Jordana Brewster) and their two children.
“'They didn't kill him, they didn't do anything cheesy like that, it was something beautiful, he's raising his children. But if they want to do that, if Meadow would like to see him, they don't need either me or Caleb,” he said before referring to AI. “ AI didn't exist in 2014, so they could do it. There are years of recorded footage that was never used in the other "Fast" movies. They're the best in the business; they'll know how to work it out". '
