CGI Paul Walker to Appear in Fast & Furious 7
It may not sit well with fans, but Paul Walker will appear in Fast & Furious 7 thanks to CGI.
According to a recent report, four body doubles have been hired for production and Walker’s face and voice will be used on top of those body doubles using CGI. This is the option that Universal Pictures and the producers felt would be best for the movie and they feel confident fans will feel satisfied with the result.

This sucks. Paul Walker shouldn't be in the movie at all.
It does suck and disrespect his face by faking the fact that he is in the movie but for the fans that want it isnt the best excuse for the director to continue
