Paul Walker's Brothers, Caleb and Cody Walker, Will Help Finish 'Fast & Furious' Scenes

Paul Walker's brothers will be filling in for the late actor to help finish filming on "Fast & Furious 7," according to the New York Daily News.

Walker, who died last November in a fiery car crash, had completed a number of his scenes before his death. Universal Pictures announced Tuesday that Caleb Walker and Cody Walker were enlisted to help complete some of the late actor's unfinished scenes.

The 40-year-old Walker died in a car crash outside Los Angeles along with his friend, Roger Rodas. An investigation stated that Rodas was driving up to 94 mph before he lost control of the car.

In a statement on the movie's Facebook page, Universal pictures stated that "This film is the most important we've ever done together. It will allow the character of Brian O'Conner to live on and let us celebrate Paul in his most defining role."

 "The FAST & FURIOUS saga is about family," the announcement read. "Paul had already shot his dramatic scenes and most of his action for Fast and Furious 7, and it's among the strongest work of his career. We have resumed shooting and now welcome Paul's brothers, Caleb and Cody, into our FAST family."

The statement added: "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."

After Walker's death production for the upcoming action film was placed on hold in order to give cast members and crew time to grieve and also make plans to move forward with the seventh installment of the franchise. Screenwriter Chris Morgan began rewriting the script in December.

"Fast & Furious 7" is set to hit theaters Apr. 15, 2015.
