Paul Walker

One last ride...

The actor died in a car crash nearly six years ago.

From Amy Winehouse to Mac Miller, here are some beloved celebrities we lost too soon.

Following his untimely death, Paul Walker’s brothers Cody and Caleb stepped in to help finish production on Furious 7, serving as stand-ins for the late actor. Thanks to their presence, along with some VFX magic, director James Wan was able to complete Walker’s scenes — and create a touching tribute to Walker for the film’s final scene. Although the series has moved beyond Walker’s absence, his brothers are hoping to step in and revive him once again for another sequel.

It may seem strange to describe the eighth film in a blockbuster franchise as a transitional moment in the series, but then again, few franchises have had to deal with the death of an actor as essential as Paul Walker. The Fate of the Furious was always going to be a bittersweet affair for those involved; while the movie promised to push new characters and new relationships to the forefront, fans wondered how exactly they would choose to address the loss of Walker’s beloved Brian. The solution screenwriter Chris Morgan came up with should leave diehards and newcomers alike very pleased.

You surely know that Paul Walker tragically passed away in 2013. But did you know that in order to finish Furious 7 while giving his character, Brian O’Conner, a fitting sendoff, the creators of Furious 7 had to use a combination of digital effects and body doubles, which included Walker’s brothers, Caleb and Cody? That’s just one of the fast facts featured in the latest episode of You Think You Know Movies!

With the eighth on the way and two more planned sequels after that, it seems like the Fast & Furious franchise will never end. And you know what, if Vin Diesel, The Rock, and Jason Statham want to keep making movies where the good guys win by driving quickly and angrily, more power to them! Diesel himself revealed during CinemaCon on Wednesday, after an emotional tribute to the late Paul Walker, that The Fate of the Furious is the first in a new trilogy of films.

"I love and I miss you dearly," Tyrese wrote in remembrance of his late co-star.

The 'See You Again' singer's Selena Gomez collaboration just hit No. 10 on the Hot 100, and Puth thinks Paul Walker's spirit helped get it there from heaven.

W. Peter Iliff, who wrote the 1999 cult classic, will write the series for CMT.

While Paul Walker's death has clearly impacted Vin Diesel in a huge way, it’s affected his family, too.

Meanwhile, Meadow's lawsuit against Porsche is still pending, though the driver Roger Rodas' widow lost her case against the car manufacturer on Monday.
