Plans for a seventh installment were first announced in February 2012 when Johnson stated that production on the film would begin after the completion of Fast & Furious 6. In April 2013, Wan, predominantly known for horror films, was announced to direct the film. Casting showed the returns of Diesel and Walker that same month. Principal photography began that September in Atlanta, but was indefinitely suspended in November after Walker died in a car crash; filming resumed in April 2014 and ended in July, with Walker's brothers Caleb and Cody standing-in to complete his remaining scenes, causing delay to its 2015 release date; with other filming locations including Los Angeles, Colorado, Abu Dhabi, and Tokyo. Brian Tyler, who had last composed the score for Fast Five (2011), returned to compose the seventh installment. With an estimated production budget of up to $250 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made.

Furious 7 premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on April 1, 2015, and was theatrically released in the United States by Universal Pictures on April 3. Upon release, the film became a commercial success and received positive reviews from critics for its emotional tribute to Walker, with many considering it to be the best film in the franchise. The film grossed over $1.5 billion worldwide, making it the third highest-grossing film of 2015 and the fourth highest-grossing film of all time at the time of release. It also set a record for the second highest opening weekend of its time, grossing $397.6 million worldwide. It was the highest grossing film of 2015 out of the domestic box office. Additionally, Furious 7 became (and continues to be) the highest-grossing film of the franchise in the first twelve days of its theatrical release. A sequel, The Fate of the Furious, was released in April 2017.

Plot

After defeating Owen Shaw and securing pardons for their past crimes,[a] Dominic Toretto, Brian O'Conner and the team have returned to the US to live normal lives. Dom tries to help Letty Ortiz regain her memory, while Brian accustoms himself to life as a father.

Meanwhile, Owen's older brother, Deckard Shaw, breaks into the hospital where the comatose Owen is held in London, before breaking into the DSS field office in Los Angeles to extract profiles of Dom's crew. After revealing his identity, Deckard fights DSS Agent Luke Hobbs and escapes, detonating a bomb that severely injures Hobbs. Dom later learns from his sister, Mia, that she is pregnant again and convinces her to tell Brian. However, a letter bomb sent by Deckard, who has apparently killed Han Lue in Tokyo,[b] explodes and destroys the Toretto house. Dom travels to Tokyo to retrieve Han's body and acquires the objects found at the crash site from Sean Boswell.

As Dom, Brian, Tej Parker, and Roman Pearce mourn Han and Gisele Yashar at Han's funeral in Los Angeles, Dom spots Deckard spying on them and confronts him in an underground tunnel, but Deckard flees when a covert ops team, led by government agent Mr. Nobody, arrives and opens fire. Nobody tells Dom that he will help them in stopping Deckard if he helps him retrieve God's Eye, a computer program capable of tracking a specific individual using anything on a digital network, and save its creator, Ramsey, from Nigerian terrorist Mose Jakande. The team airdrops their off-road modified cars over the Caucasus Mountains in Azerbaijan, ambush Jakande's convoy, and rescue Ramsey. They leave for the Etihad Towers in Abu Dhabi and steal the flash drive containing the God's Eye chip from a billionaire hidden in a Lykan HyperSport. With God's Eye secure, Dom, Brian, Nobody, and his team use it to hunt Deckard down to an abandoned factory but are ambushed by Jakande and his henchmen, who have allied with Deckard, and forced to flee while Jakande obtains God's Eye.

As Mr. Nobody is medevaced, the team returns to Los Angeles where Dom plans to fight Deckard alone, while Letty, Brian, Tej, and Roman resolve to protect Ramsey from Jakande. Later, Brian promises Mia that he will fully dedicate himself to their family after he defeats Deckard and Jakande, and is motivated to come home after Mia reveals her pregnancy. As Jakande pursues Brian and the rest of the team with a stealth helicopter and an aerial drone, Ramsey attempts to hack into God's Eye. Discovering the situation, Hobbs leaves the hospital and destroys the drone with an ambulance. After battling and killing Jakande's henchman Kiet, Brian hijacks a signal repeater tower that allows Ramsey to regain control of God's Eye and shut it down. Meanwhile, Dom and Deckard engage in a brawl on top of a public parking garage. Jakande intervenes and attacks them both; Dom uses the distraction to defeat Deckard by causing part of the parking garage to collapse beneath him. Dom attempts to crash his Dodge Charger onto Jakande's helicopter; he leaves a bag of grenades on the helicopter and crashes on the rubble of the garage. Hobbs shoots the grenades, destroying the helicopter and killing Jakande.

After Brian and Hobbs help Letty bring out Dom's unconscious body, she cradles him and tells him that she has fully regained her memories and has remembered their wedding, after which Dom regains consciousness. Deckard is arrested by Hobbs and the CIA, being locked up in a black site prison. The rest of the team relax on a tropical beach. Brian and Mia play with their son Jack while Dom, Letty, Roman, Tej, and Ramsey look on, acknowledging that Brian is happily retired with his family. Dom drives away and Brian catches up with him. As Dom recalls his memories with Brian, the two bid each other farewell and drive off in separate directions.

Production

Development

On October 21, 2011, the Los Angeles Times reported that Universal Studios was considering filming two sequels—Fast Six and Fast Seven—back-to-back with a single storyline running through both films. Both would be written by Chris Morgan and directed by Justin Lin, who had been the franchise's writer and director, respectively, since The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006).[24] On December 20, 2011, following the release of Fast Five (2011), Vin Diesel stated that Fast Six would be split into two parts, with writing for the two films occurring simultaneously. On the decision, Diesel said:[25]

We have to pay off this story, we have to service all of these character relationships, and when we started mapping all that out it just went beyond 110 pages  ...  The studio said, 'You can't fit all that story in one damn movie!'[25]

However, in an interview on February 15, 2012, Dwayne Johnson stated that the two intended sequels would no longer be filmed simultaneously because of weather issues in filming locations, and that production on Fast Seven would only begin after the completion of Fast Six.[26]

In April 2013, during the post-production of the retitled Fast & Furious 6, Lin announced that he would not return to direct the seventh film, as the studio wanted to produce the film on an accelerated scheduled for release in summer 2014. This would have required Lin to begin pre-production on the sequel while performing post-production on Fast & Furious 6, which he considered would affect the quality of the final product. Despite the usual two-year gap between the previous installments, Universal chose to pursue a sequel quicker due to having fewer reliable franchises than its competitor studios.[27] However, subsequent interviews with Lin have suggested that the sixth film was always intended to be the final installment under his direction.[28]

In April 2013, Australian director James Wan, predominantly known for horror films, was announced as the sequel's director, with Neal H. Moritz and Michael Fottrell returning to produce and Morgan returning to write the script, his fifth in the franchise. On April 16, 2013, Diesel announced that the sequel would be released on July 11, 2014.[29] In May 2013, Diesel said that the sequel would feature Los Angeles, Tokyo, and the Middle East as locations.[30][31]

Filming

Principal photography began in early September 2013 in Atlanta, with a casting call issued.[32][33] Abu Dhabi was also a filming location;[34] the production crew chose it over Dubai, as they would benefit from the Emirate's 30% rebate scheme.[35] Pikes Peak Highway in Colorado was closed in September to film some driving sequences.[36]

On September 16, the production filmed with Paul Walker and the Kimsey twins, playing his son, Jack,[37] in front of an Atlanta elementary school.[38] Han's funeral scene was filmed at Oakland Cemetery,[39] with extras needed for the scene being "hot, hip and trendy cool types of all ethnicities between the ages of 18 and 45".[40] On the evening of September 19, Lucas Black joined the production[41] for his sole scene with Diesel, in an Atlanta parking garage. Separate scenes with Walker also shot in the same location on the same night,[42] including one half of a phone conversation between his character and Jordana Brewster's.

On October 24, over a month into the film's production, Johnson tweeted he had started shooting for the film after wrapping up on Hercules.[43] Five days later, Diesel posted the first photo of Johnson on the set, in the hospital scene.[44]

On November 30, Walker, who portrayed Brian O'Conner, died in a single-vehicle accident.[45][46] The next day, Universal announced that production would continue after a delay that would allow the filmmakers to rework the film.[47] On December 4, Universal put production on hold indefinitely.[47] Wan later confirmed that the film had not been cancelled.[48] On December 22, Diesel announced that the film would be released on April 10, 2015.[49] On February 27, 2014, The Hollywood Reporter reported that filming would resume on April 1, and that the cast and crew had headed to Atlanta to prepare for about eight more weeks of shooting.[50] Principal photography ended on July 10.[51]

Stunts

 
The Lockheed C-130 Hercules[52] was used in the film to carry the vehicles that would drop from 12,000 feet high, above the Sonoran Desert, making cars plummet at a speed of about 130 to 140 miles per hour.[53][54]

The "airdrop" sequence was conceived by stunt coordinator, Spiro Razatos, who also supervised on the franchise's two previous installments; Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6.[55][56] Razatos told Business Insider that he wanted to rely more on real stunts rather than CGI because he wanted the whole sequence to "feel real" and fulfill audience's expectations.[55] The stunt took months of prep-solving problems. Cameras needed to be mounted onto cars in a way that they would not be destroyed when the cars landed, and the crew had to figure out a safe way to get the cars out of the plane. They performed a dry run with a single car falling out of a plane[55] and did this six times.[56] Cars were dropped from a Lockheed C-130 Hercules high above the Arizona desert, but close up shots that show the cars landing on a mountain road were filmed in Colorado.[56] There were two airplanes, flying at a height of 12,000 feet, each dropping two cars apiece.[55] BRS parachutes enabled with GPS were secured to each of the cars before dropping off the C-130 plane. At about 5,000 feet, the parachutes deployed.[56] Over 10 cameras were used for the sequence. In addition to cameras on the ground, there were cameras remotely operated inside the plane and another three mounted outside each car. Additional cameras were on a helicopter, where Razatos was stationed watching monitors. Three skydivers used in the shoot wore helmet cameras to help shoot the sequence from multiple angles. Sky divers would either jump out before cars or after them.[55] While all the cars landed on their drop zones, 70% landed perfectly and 30% did not.[56] For the close-up scenes which show the actors inside their cars, a giant gimbal with a 360-degree range of movement were attached to each of the cars and was filmed against a green screen to reproduce their tumble through the sky.[57] The last part of the scene, which shows the cars hitting the road was shot separately. To get that right, the team set up a pulley system that had cars six to ten feet above the ground. When they were dropped from the cranes, the stuntmen who were sitting in the driver's seats raced their engines at about 35 to 40 miles per hour and slid to the ground at full speed. Those cranes were then later removed from the film with computers.[56][57] Razatos claims, therefore, that the air drop sequence was "all real" and that it would be "hard to top".[55][56]

The scene featuring Brian jumping off a bus off a cliff was performed by a stuntman and was all done without any computer graphics.[58] The shooting for this particular sequence along with the scene in which Dom and his team are pursuing to rescue Ramsey almost did not happen due to the absence of tax break in Colorado.[58] The studio originally wanted to shoot the sequence in Georgia which provides tax breaks for film productions, and then add woods in the background later in post-production to which Razatos denied saying, "the audience is going to know [it's CGI] and aren't going to feel good about it."[58] Shooting finally took place in Colorado.[58]

A total of 340 cars were used in the film,[57] and more than 230 cars were destroyed in the making of the film, including several black Mercedes-Benzes, a Ford Crown Victoria, and a Mitsubishi Montero.[59] The film featured the on-screen destruction of a Lykan HyperSport by W Motors, valued at $3.4 million,[60] though the actual car destroyed was a less expensive model made for the film rather than one of the seven actual production HyperSports.[61] The mountain-highway chase scene on Colorado's Monarch Pass proved to be the most damaging sequence with over 40 vehicles being destroyed.[59][62] Only 10 percent of the action sequences in the film were computer-generated, and even then, much of the CGI was employed simply to erase the wires and other contraptions that were used to film real cars and drivers or to add a background.[57] It took more than 3,500 man-days to complete the various stunts of the film.[57]

Redevelopment of Walker's character

When I first heard the news, I was shell-shocked like everyone, and it took me days to come to terms with it. And then after that, heartbreaks started sinking in and we realized that Paul [Walker] wasn't going to be around with us anymore moving forward, and it was a really hard one. And finishing the movie was the last thing on my mind at that point. It was more the idea of ... picking up the pieces, going back on set, rallying the team, the cast, and the crew, and as the director, having to put on the brave face and champion and push everyone along. The idea of that was very daunting for me, but it became very apparent to all of us that we needed to finish this movie to honour Paul's legacy and to basically honour his memories ... it was about making this movie for Paul.

—James Wan, director of Furious 7[63]

In January 2014, Time reported that Walker's character, Brian O'Conner, would be retired instead of killed, and that new scenes would be developed in order to allow the franchise to continue without him.[64] To recreate Walker's likeness, the filmmakers hired Peter Jackson's Weta Digital visual effects house (which had previously produced the imagery of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings franchise and Caesar in the Planet of the Apes franchise).[65] Initially, what Weta could do was severely constrained by the quality of the reference materials available for Walker's physical appearance. In April 2014, it was reported that Walker's brothers Caleb and Cody had been hired as stand-ins.[66] Their strong resemblance to their late brother meant the filmmakers could use scans of their bodies instead of recreating Walker's entire body from scratch. The final film showed Walker's face superimposed over the bodies of his brothers or actor John Brotherton in 350 visual effects shots. 260 used a computer-generated face, while 90 repurposed actual footage of Walker's face borrowed from outtakes or older footage.[65][67][68]

Music

Main articles: Furious 7 (soundtrack) and Furious 7 (score)

The musical score was composed by Brian Tyler, who scored the third, fourth and fifth installments of the series.[69] "There's an emotional component to Fast & Furious 7 that is unique", said Tyler about his experience scoring. "I think people are really going to be amazed by it."[70] A soundtrack album to the film was released by Atlantic Records on March 17, 2015,[71] while Tyler's score was released by Back Lot Music on March 31.

Songs featured in the film include: "Go Hard or Go Home" (Wiz Khalifa and Iggy Azalea),[72] "Ride Out" (Kid Ink, Tyga, Wale, YG & Rich Homie Quan),[73] "See You Again" (Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth), "My Angel" (Prince Royce), "Hamdulillah" (Narcy featuring Shadia Mansour), "Get Low" (Dillon Francis and DJ Snake), "Ay Vamos" (J Balvin featuring Nicky Jam and French Montana), "Tempest" (Deftones), "Meneo" (Fito Blanko) and "Payback" (Juicy J, Kevin Gates, Future and Sage the Gemini).

Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's "See You Again", which plays over the film's ending, and itself a tribute to Paul Walker, received both popular and critical acclaim. It was shortlisted for the Song of the Year for the BBC Music Awards and was nominated for Best Original Song at the 73rd Golden Globe Awards.[74] "See You Again" was the best selling-song of 2015 worldwide, with combined sales and track-equivalent streams of 20.9 million units according to IFPI.[75]

It added three new countries in its second weekend; China, Russia and Poland.[119] The film earned $167.9 million in its third weekend, which topped the box office outside of North America for three consecutive weekends.[120]

The film was a massive box office hit in China. It opened there on April 12 and set an all-time midnight run record with $8.05 million[119][121] and an opening day record with $68.8 million.[119][122] Its opening day included a record-breaking $5 million from IMAX run (also breaking Transformers: Age of Extinction's (2014) former record of $3.4 million).[119] Through its opening week (April 12–19), it earned $245.9 million.[120][123] For the weekend alone, it took in $88.7 million from 5,454 screens (Friday to Sunday) and $182.4 million (Monday to Sunday) at the Chinese box office. It grossed ¥1 RMB billion in five days—the fastest time in which that has been achieved—and soon became the highest-grossing foreign film ever in China.[120][123][124] In 15 days, its gross in China surpassed those in Canada and the United States[125] and became the first film in China to make more than 2 billion renminbi.[126] Its success has been credited to China Film Group Corporation, the state-owned film distributor, which had invested considerably in the film, reportedly taking a 10% stake.[127] In Latin America, it became the second highest-grossing film ($200 million), the first time Universal has reached the milestone and the second film in history to earn more than $200 million after The Avengers (2012).[128] In total earnings, the largest countries outside the U.S. and Canada are China ($391.2 million), the United Kingdom ($60 million), Mexico ($51.7 million), Brazil ($46.6 million), Germany ($42.8 million) and India ($24 million).[129][130][131] It grossed a total of $39 million in IMAX ticket sales in China, the biggest ever in the market.[132]

Critical response

Furious 7 received positive reviews from critics for its poignant tribute to Walker.[133] The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 82% with an average score of 7.70/10, based on 277 reviews, the highest-rated film in the franchise to date. The website's critical consensus reads, "Serving up a fresh round of over-the-top thrills while adding unexpected dramatic heft, Furious 7 keeps the franchise moving in more ways than one."[134] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 67 out of 100 based on 50 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[135] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale.[136]

The film received highly positive reviews upon its secret screening at the South by Southwest film festival on March 16, 2015. Ramin Setoodeh of Variety noted that fans began lining up outside four hours before the film was scheduled to start. The film closed with a tribute to Walker, which left many in the theater "holding back tears".[137] Wesley Morris wrote, "Who would have thought that a series addicted to the high of movement could also summon a solemnity that leaves you moved?"[138] A. O. Scott of The New York Times gave the film two and a half stars out of five and said, "Furious 7 extends its predecessors' inclusive, stereotype-resistant ethic. Compared to almost any other large-scale, big-studio enterprise, the Furious brand practices a slick, no-big-deal multiculturalism, and nods to both feminism and domestic traditionalism."[139] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter criticized the film however, describing it as "stupidly diverting", saying the running time was "overinflated"; he compared watching the film to a morbid game, in addition to criticizing the screenplay.[140]

October 21 2011 the Los Angeles Times reported that Universal Studios was considering filming two sequels Fast Six and Fast Seven back to back with a single storyline running through both films Both would be written by Chris Morgan and directed by Justin Lin who had been the franchise s writer and director respectively since The Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift 2006 24 On December 20 2011 following the release of Fast Five 2011 Vin Diesel stated that Fast Six would be split into two parts with writing for the two films occurring simultaneously On the decision Diesel said 25 We have to pay off this story we have to service all of these character relationships and when we started mapping all that out it just went beyond 110 pages The studio said You can t fit all that story in one damn movie 25 However in an interview on February 15 2012 Dwayne Johnson stated that the two intended sequels would no longer be filmed simultaneously because of weather issues in filming locations and that production on Fast Seven would only begin after the completion of Fast Six 26 In April 2013 during the post production of the retitled Fast amp Furious 6 Lin announced that he would not return to direct the seventh film as the studio wanted to produce the film on an accelerated scheduled for release in summer 2014 This would have required Lin to begin pre production on the sequel while performing post production on Fast amp Furious 6 which he considered would affect the quality of the final product Despite the usual two year gap between the previous installments Universal chose to pursue a sequel quicker due to having fewer reliable franchises than its competitor studios 27 However subsequent interviews with Lin have suggested that the sixth film was always intended to be the final installment under his direction 28 In April 2013 Australian director James Wan predominantly known for horror films was announced as the sequel s director with Neal H Moritz and Michael Fottrell returning to produce and Morgan returning to write the script his fifth in the franchise On April 16 2013 Diesel announced that the sequel would be released on July 11 2014 29 In May 2013 Diesel said that the sequel would feature Los Angeles Tokyo and the Middle East as locations 30 31 Filming Edit Principal photography began in early September 2013 in Atlanta with a casting call issued 32 33 Abu Dhabi was also a filming location 34 the production crew chose it over Dubai as they would benefit from the Emirate s 30 rebate scheme 35 Pikes Peak Highway in Colorado was closed in September to film some driving sequences 36 On September 16 the production filmed with Paul Walker and the Kimsey twins playing his son Jack 37 in front of an Atlanta elementary school 38 Han s funeral scene was filmed at Oakland Cemetery 39 with extras needed for the scene being hot hip and trendy cool types of all ethnicities between the ages of 18 and 45 40 On the evening of September 19 Lucas Black joined the production 41 for his sole scene with Diesel in an Atlanta parking garage Separate scenes with Walker also shot in the same location on the same night 42 including one half of a phone conversation between his character and Jordana Brewster s On October 24 over a month into the film s production Johnson tweeted he had started shooting for the film after wrapping up on Hercules 43 Five days later Diesel posted the first photo of Johnson on the set in the hospital scene 44 On November 30 Walker who portrayed Brian O Conner died in a single vehicle accident 45 46 The next day Universal announced that production would continue after a delay that would allow the filmmakers to rework the film 47 On December 4 Universal put production on hold indefinitely 47 Wan later confirmed that the film had not been cancelled 48 On December 22 Diesel announced that the film would be released on April 10 2015 49 On February 27 2014 The Hollywood Reporter reported that filming would resume on April 1 and that the cast and crew had headed to Atlanta to prepare for about eight more weeks of shooting 50 Principal photography ended on July 10 51 Stunts Edit The Lockheed C 130 Hercules 52 was used in the film to carry the vehicles that would drop from 12 000 feet high above the Sonoran Desert making cars plummet at a speed of about 130 to 140 miles per hour 53 54 The airdrop sequence was conceived by stunt coordinator Spiro Razatos who also supervised on the franchise s two previous installments Fast Five and Fast amp Furious 6 55 56 Razatos told Business Insider that he wanted to rely more on real stunts rather than CGI because he wanted the whole sequence to feel real and fulfill audience s expectations 55 The stunt took months of prep solving problems Cameras needed to be mounted onto cars in a way that they would not be destroyed when the cars landed and the crew had to figure out a safe way to get the cars out of the plane They performed a dry run with a single car falling out of a plane 55 and did this six times 56 Cars were dropped from a Lockheed C 130 Hercules high above the Arizona desert but close up shots that show the cars landing on a mountain road were filmed in Colorado 56 There were two airplanes flying at a height of 12 000 feet each dropping two cars apiece 55 BRS parachutes enabled with GPS were secured to each of the cars before dropping off the C 130 plane At about 5 000 feet the parachutes deployed 56 Over 10 cameras were used for the sequence In addition to cameras on the ground there were cameras remotely operated inside the plane and another three mounted outside each car Additional cameras were on a helicopter where Razatos was stationed watching monitors Three skydivers used in the shoot wore helmet cameras to help shoot the sequence from multiple angles Sky divers would either jump out before cars or after them 55 While all the cars landed on their drop zones 70 landed perfectly and 30 did not 56 For the close up scenes which show the actors inside their cars a giant gimbal with a 360 degree range of movement were attached to each of the cars and was filmed against a green screen to reproduce their tumble through the sky 57 The last part of the scene which shows the cars hitting the road was shot separately To get that right the team set up a pulley system that had cars six to ten feet above the ground When they were dropped from the cranes the stuntmen who were sitting in the driver s seats raced their engines at about 35 to 40 miles per hour and slid to the ground at full speed Those cranes were then later removed from the film with computers 56 57 Razatos claims therefore that the air drop sequence was all real and that it would be hard to top 55 56 The scene featuring Brian jumping off a bus off a cliff was performed by a stuntman and was all done without any computer graphics 58 The shooting for this particular sequence along with the scene in which Dom and his team are pursuing to rescue Ramsey almost did not happen due to the absence of tax break in Colorado 58 The studio originally wanted to shoot the sequence in Georgia which provides tax breaks for film productions and then add woods in the background later in post production to which Razatos denied saying the audience is going to know it s CGI and aren t going to feel good about it 58 Shooting finally took place in Colorado 58 A total of 340 cars were used in the film 57 and more than 230 cars were destroyed in the making of the film including several black Mercedes Benzes a Ford Crown Victoria and a Mitsubishi Montero 59 The film featured the on screen destruction of a Lykan HyperSport by W Motors valued at 3 4 million 60 though the actual car destroyed was a less expensive model made for the film rather than one of the seven actual production HyperSports 61 The mountain highway chase scene on Colorado s Monarch Pass proved to be the most damaging sequence with over 40 vehicles being destroyed 59 62 Only 10 percent of the action sequences in the film were computer generated and even then much of the CGI was employed simply to erase the wires and other contraptions that were used to film real cars and drivers or to add a background 57 It took more than 3 500 man days to complete the various stunts of the film 57 Redevelopment of Walker s character Edit When I first heard the news I was shell shocked like everyone and it took me days to come to terms with it And then after that heartbreaks started sinking in and we realized that Paul Walker wasn t going to be around with us anymore moving forward and it was a really hard one And finishing the movie was the last thing on my mind at that point It was more the idea of picking up the pieces going back on set rallying the team the cast and the crew and as the director having to put on the brave face and champion and push everyone along The idea of that was very daunting for me but it became very apparent to all of us that we needed to finish this movie to honour Paul s legacy and to basically honour his memories it was about making this movie for Paul James Wan director of Furious 7 63 In January 2014 Time reported that Walker s character Brian O Conner would be retired instead of killed and that new scenes would be developed in order to allow the franchise to continue without him 64 To recreate Walker s likeness the filmmakers hired Peter Jackson s Weta Digital visual effects house which had previously produced the imagery of Gollum in The Lord of the Rings franchise and Caesar in the Planet of the Apes franchise 65 Initially what Weta could do was severely constrained by the quality of the reference materials available for Walker s physical appearance In April 2014 it was reported that Walker s brothers Caleb and Cody had been hired as stand ins 66 Their strong resemblance to their late brother meant the filmmakers could use scans of their bodies instead of recreating Walker s entire body from scratch The final film showed Walker s face superimposed over the bodies of his brothers or actor John Brotherton in 350 visual effects shots 260 used a computer generated face while 90 repurposed actual footage of Walker s face borrowed from outtakes or older footage 65 67 68 Music Edit Main articles Furious 7 soundtrack and Furious 7 score The musical score was composed by Brian Tyler who scored the third fourth and fifth installments of the series 69 There s an emotional component to Fast amp Furious 7 that is unique said Tyler about his experience scoring
