Sein Tod erschütterte die Filmbranche, ließ seine Familie, Fans und Freunde in tiefer Trauer zurück.

Am 30. November 2013 verunglückte der damals 40-jährige Hollywoodstar Paul Walker bei einem Autounfall mit einem Porsche Carrera GT, in dem er als Beifahrer saß, tödlich. Kehrt der „The Fast and the Furious“-Star nun in Teil 9 der Actionfilm-Reihe auf die Leinwand zurück?

Mit einem Tweet brachte ein Insider diesen Monat die Gerüchteküche zum Brodeln.

„Es hat lange genug gedauert. Sie bringen Paul Walkers Charakter Brian ‚FF9‘ zurück“, twitterte Film-Experte Daniel Richtman.

Der Inhalt ist leider nicht mehr verfügbar.

Die Dreharbeiten zu „Fast & Furious 9“ sind bereits abgeschlossen. Der Film soll im Mai 2020 in die Kinos kommen.

Weder die Filmemacher noch die Stars der Action-Reihe haben sich bislang zu einem möglichen Filmcomeback von Paul Walker geäußert. Doch mithilfe von Body-Doubles und moderner Technik wäre das möglich.

Paul Walker starb während der Dreharbeiten zu „Fast & Furious 7“, der achte Teil der Serie war der erste, der komplett nach Walkers Tod gedreht wurde.

Eine Rückkehr in Teil 9 wäre denkbar, denn im Film starb Paul Walker als Brian O’Conner nicht. Er zog sich in Teil 7 zurück, um mit Frau Mia und Sohn Jack ein ruhiges Leben zu führen. Um damals die noch fehlenden Szenen zu ergänzen, fungierten Walkers Brüder Caleb (42) und Cody Walker (31) als Doubles, man arbeitete mit computergenerierten Bildern und benutzte Archivmaterial. So könnte es auch diesmal wieder funktionieren.

Paul Walkers Fans sind sich uneinig darüber, was sie von einem möglichen „Fast & Furious“-Comeback halten.

Während sich einige wie verrückt darüber freuen würden, finden andere: „ Das ist nicht nur total unnötig, sondern auch absolut geschmacklos und schändlich“ und „Tut mir leid, aber die Szene am Ende von Furious 7 war magisch, das wird sie nur verderben.“

It’s been nine years since his death and yet many fans still need a minute at the mention of the late actor and star of those fast car movies, Paul Walker. And to think, his most famous character Brian O’Connor was almost played by a rapper who hates his mom. Here are some Fast and Furious trivia about Walker’s time in the fast lane.

15Training In Formula One Cars

Walker and his castmates got to practice in Formula One cars to get them ready for the movie's street racing scenes. Director Rob Cohen said he could immediately tell that Walker was the perfect driver. “It was clear he had a natural talent. He had no fear. You could see he was falling in love with the whole car business.”

14The Train Scene In The Fast And The Furious

While that scene plays out like the two drivers had a super close shave with an oncoming train, some filmmaking magic was used to make sure they weren’t in any real danger at all. The cars and the train were filmed separately and only combined during post-production.

13The Mic Rig

To make it look like the drivers were doing some insane speeds at times, the crew built the “Mic Rig, which was basically a high-powered truck, its back seats removed, with a chassis on the back to which the cars were attached and pulled at high speed while the crew filmed all of it. The actors sat behind the wheels of the dummy cars to make it look like they were doing the driving themselves.

12Fast Five: The Train Robbery

The stunt-filled scene cost $25 million to shoot, and almost none of it was CG. Diesel and Walker’s stuntmen performed the actual leap into the water, and the plummeting car was filmed separately and then superimposed over the stunt footage.

11The White House

The director had the owners paint the house of Dominic Toretto (Diesel) white because he wanted the flashy colors of the cars to pop in the shots.

10How Paul Walker Got Involved In The F&F Movies

Wie heißt paul walker in fast and the furious

The late actor told Motor Trend back in May of 2013: “I was working on a movie called The Skulls. The studio, producer, and director asked, ‘What do you want to do next?’ I said, ‘I want to do a movie where I'm racing cars or I'm an undercover cop.’ They combined the two and that's how The Fast and the Furious came to be. It wasn't that dynamic: racing in a straight line. We didn't realize just how big it was. Now it's not just a car movie. It's a heist movie. It's an action movie. I jokingly ask, ‘Where else is there to go?’”

9The Fight That Was Almost Way Different

The fight between Brian and Vince in the first movie was carefully choreographed to resemble a street scrap one would find in director Rob Cohen’s Bruce Lee films. However, when the actors started filming the scene, it didn’t feel right, and they ended up improvising and just having a regular ol’ street fight.

8It Was Almost The Paul Walker-Timothy Olyphant Bromance

The studio initially wanted Olyphant to play the Dom to Walker’s Brian, telling producer Neal H. Moritz that if he got the Gone in 60 Seconds actor on board, they’d greenlight the movie. The actor passed on the role, and director Rob Cohen suggested this new guy named Vin Diesel.

Universal Pictures

Originally, Walker’s cop character was going to start the fourth feature film locked up in prison for helping Diesel’s character escape at the end of the first movie. The film would’ve opened with Walker doing a jailbreak instead of him being a reformed F.B.I. agent.

6Paul Walker Wasn’t Everyone’s First Choice To Play Brian O’Connor

The studio wanted a big name attached to the movie and, at one point, even considered casting Eminem in the role. Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale were also being considered.

5The Cut Scene From Fast Five

To complete Furious 7 following Walker’s death, footage from previous movies was used to fill out the film, including a scene between Mia and Brian in the Dominican Republic that was filmed for Fast Five.

4The Final Act Of Furious 7 Had To Be Rewritten

Following Walker’s death during production of Furious 7, the entire final act had to be rewritten to give his character a proper send-off. Screenwriter Chris Morgan revealed how the movie would’ve ended originally: “Well, the original ending, if I remember correctly, was our guys end up solving the problem and then kind of becoming — again, going more outlaw, it was sort of a happier ending that kind of ends with the insinuation that they were gonna go off onto this heist or this job.”

3The Race Wars Scene Was A Big Event

The racing tournament required 1000 extras and 35 cars to create. The drivers raced for five days of filming, in 100-degree temperatures.

2Paul Walker Wasn’t Sure If He Wanted To Do Furious 7

Universal Pictures

Walker was so used to working with Justin Lin as director that, when James Wan got slated to do Furious 7, he had his doubts. When Walker bumped into J.J. Abrams at a South by Southwest event, he asked the man’s opinion. “I said, ‘They want us to go do another Fast & Furious, but my man, Justin, isn’t coming back. I don’t know if I want to do it.’  He said, ‘F**k, don’t do it then.’ That was coming from a director. I thought that was cool. I really was like, ‘I don’t know.’  And Justin passed on a crazy amount of money.”

After talking with James Wan about the movie over the phone, Walker was convinced that he’d be a good director for the seventh film.

1Paul Walker And Vin Diesel Promised Each Other They’d Make 10 Fast & Furious Movies

Wie heißt paul walker in fast and the furious

Universal Pictures

Diesel told Men’s Health in 2021: "We walked into this bodega, and people just cannot believe that Dom and Brian are walking into a bodega. One of the guys called him Brian. And when we left, and we were in the car, he said, 'That's my favorite thing. It's my favorite thing when people call me Brian.' To him, it was a beautiful compliment. I still think about it to this day because it just says so much that there was so much pride in this iconic character he created. It was his creation, his superhero, and that moment represented a simpler life, I guess. It made me want to protect that even more because that mountain looming that is Fast 10 — that's what we promised each other, that we would take this franchise and end it at Fast 10.”
