Paul Walker‘s look-alike brother Cody was
spotted Friday on the California set of Fast &
Furious 7, providing an eerie, doppelgänger vision
of the late actor, who died in a car crash in
November.
Cody, along with brother Caleb, has been tapped
to stand in for Paul, as filmmakers finish the
movie after initially putting the brakes on
it following the actor’s death. It’s now set to hit
theaters on April 10, 2015.
In the pic, Cody – on location in Pacific
Palisades and wearing a gray crew-neck shirt –
is an uncanny, spitting image of his brother, his
buzz cut and classic matinee-idol looks evoking
the undeniable appeal that made Paul a star.
Producers announced in April that the actor’s
brothers would help them complete the film,
noting that although Walker had finished
shooting Fast & Furious 7’s dramatic scenes,
there were several action sequences that had yet
to be filmed.
“We had to take time to grieve Paul, the brother
we love and lost, and to figure out if we should
move on with our film,” producers said in a
statement posted on the film’s Facebook
page. “We came together and all felt the only
choice was to continue. We believe our fans
want that, and we believe Paul would want that
too.”
“We have resumed shooting,” the statement
added, “and now welcome Paul’s brothers, Caleb
and Cody, into our Fast family. 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.”
