Furious 7″ has proven to be
uncomfortable for Vin Diesel, he said.
Diesel recalled how well he worked
with Walker, who died last November
in a car accident.
"He always knew I would fight for hiim,
whether it was to protect his deal or to
protect his integrity, and he knew that
if it made for a better film, I was going
to do whatever it took. It is why
together, we won best duo twice, 12
years apart," he said on Facebook
recently.
He added: "He did it with the pride of
knowing, that over a decade of
portraying Brian, through four
directors, multiple writers and new
producers he was able to maintain the
inner core of the character he created.
Those work ethics and drive to be both
truthful, and in his own way, evolve the
decade spanning character is what
made his character as iconic as it has
become."
Diesel also spoke about filming the
movie with CGI.
"With our new ambitious vfx team, the
whole cast and crew has had to adjust
to this awkward and uncomfortable
process of pixels over people. Aside
from the obvious strains it places on
the director, the challenge is not to
allow it to compromise what makes the
character so special," he said.
Recently, it was announced Paul's
brother Cody Walker was tapped to
appear in another "Fast & Furious"
movie after the seventh one.
A source told the London Daily Mail
publication: "Of course, Cody isn't a
replacement for Paul in any way, but
the producers were really grateful that
he stepped in to help them finish this
last film and Cody is so likeable and
charming. It would be a tribute to Paul
that Cody carries on the Walker name
in the Fast and The Furious movies."
Walker's father also persuaded Cody to
finish the seventh movie, which comes
out in 2015.
"I had a hand in convincing Caleb and
Cody," he was quoted as saying by the
NY Daily News. "We had a pep talk
because it was something they were
obviously very skeptical of doing and I
think it helped."
