Paul Walker's Brothers to Finish 'Fast & Furious 7' Scenes

The brothers of Paul Walker will fill in for the late actor in order to complete the seventh installment of the "Fast & Furious" franchise, according to a statement posted on the franchise's Facebook page.

Caleb and Cody Walker will film action scenes and "fill in small gaps left in production," the statement reads.

"We have resumed shooting and now welcome Paul's brothers, Caleb and Cody, into our FAST family," the statement reads on Facebook. "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."

Walker, 40, died in a fiery crash in Santa Clarita, California back on Nov. 30, 2013.

A Los Angeles County Coroner's report revealed that the Porsche Carrera GT that Walker was a passenger in was traveling over 100 mph before the crash.

Walker's business partner Roger Rodas was behind the wheel at the time, and was also killed in the crash.

Walker was on holiday from filming "Fast & Furious 7" when the crash occurred.

Production was then put on hold since Walker hadn't finished filming his scenes before the incident.

The film, which was set to be released in July, was pushed back nine months until April 10, 2015.

"We are just under a year away from the release of 'Fast & Furious 7,' and this film is the most important we've ever done together," the statement reads. "It will allow the character of Brian O'Conner to live on and let us celebrate Paul in his most defining role."
