The untimely death of actor Paul Walker brought the filming of his action movie Fast and Furious 7 to a halt, but now director James Wan has stated that there are absolutely no plans to abandon the production altogether.

On Wednesday, Universal Pictures announced that they were shutting down production for a “period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise.”;

Paul was set to reprise the Brian O’Conner character, a role he originated in the first instalment, The Fast and the Furious in 2001.
