R.I.P. Paul Walker

We, as a society, have lost another great actor. Paul Walker died Saturday in a car accident. And, just to get it out of the way, here's what some people have been thinking:

How ironic that one of the stars of 'The Fast and The Furious' movies would die in a car accident.


Ironic? Maybe so, but we must not forget that Walker has starred in other movies besides the F&F franchise.

It's hard to say what will happen now with Fast and Furious 7, which was half-filmed at this point. The way I see it, the film makers have two options: 1) Write him out of the movie completely, or 2) Use a stunt-double that looks and sounds a lot like him.

As much as it pains me to say it, I think the best option for the film makers is option number one. True, he's a fan-favorite character, but you can't just replace him. It's unfortunate, but you'd be better off killing the character. Either way, the franchise will never be the same.

RIP Paul Walker

Until Next Time...:(
