Paul Walker's 'Fast and Furious 7' scenes will be completed using 'face-replacement technology' by special effects company Weta, according to reports.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the special effects company would be using three cameras to create the computer-generated face-replacement needed for the super successful franchises sequel.
A source told the film site the makers were finishing the film more or less as scripted, replacing Walker with computer-generated face replacement and they had the actor's two brothers as well as an actor to play Walker's role when needed.
The source added that there is a massive amount of gear, asserting that everything that was to be filmed with Walker gets done three times over.
