My favorite Walker film is hands down, Running Scared. Coolest gritty and urban spin on fairy tales I’ve ever seen. I think he gave one of his best performances in that as well.
As for The Fast & The Furious 7….. I’m fairly sure they’ll eventually proceed with the film, with some serious cuts and rewrites; and considering the 7th film is about Shaw’s older brother Ian, getting revenge, they’ll probably write Brian O’Connor being one of Ian’s victims, as well as Han; turning the whole film into a grittier Fast & Furious movie, with Dom coming back with a vengeance . I’m sure Lucas Black will be filling in Walkers shoes (sorta speak), since he was the main star in Tokyo Drift. They said it would be coming out this coming Summer, but I’m sure it will obviously be delayed. I was really looking forward to the 7th, considering there being a new director involved. I was a huge fan of Death Sentence (another revenge film, by James Wan.) I hope they go through with it, but either way, I’m more than positive that this particular F&F will be pretty dark.
It’s really sad hearing this news. I always thought Walker brightened up the series. He will be missed. R.I.P.

Running Scared is underrated.

Very tragic and sad but also fiendishly ironic. This would be like Sylvester Stallone getting killed in a charity boxing fight.

You can be sure that they will finish the film because audience for this franchise probably won’t care if it’s in bad taste or not. They probably won’t have the character die in a car wreck, though, which would be the most obvious thing to do without needing additional footage.

There will be a lot of discussion about the fact that the franchise glorifies street racing and shows characters doing things in cars that should be fatal but end up walking away without a scratch. When I’m passed by two cars going 100 mph or more it’s hard for me to believe that everyone knows that street racing is a fantasy.

Wow! was not expecting this! Man was a horrible actor that had as much charisma as a piece of wood but he always seemed likable to me.

Horrible way to go and condolences to his family. RIP dude.

RIP Paulie. One of my personal faves; a charismatic dude with old school movie star charisma and boundless likability. His resume, from the Fast & Furious franchise to the awesome Joy Ride and the uplifting, family friendly Eight Below contains some real treasures.

I think they should work in his death in the script by killing off his character in Fast and Furious 7. The movie will obviously be dedicated in his memory.
