One rumor I'm hearing is they may scrap production overall and just rewrite it from scratch which I think is a great idea to be real.
Worst thing they could do. Let his last performance be seen. If they cut him out, I'm not watchin that shyt. Them writers better get creative & figure something out.

See, I disagree. From all reports, he still had some pivotal scenes left to shoot so the whole thing will have to change regardless and then you have to look at what you've got shot and see if there's a logical exit for him based on what you've already shot.

I say open up the movie with Dom standing over his grave, start a flashback sequence (which the majority of 7 would be) and turn the rest of the series into a revenge quest

The franchise has made over $2 billion worldwide, they ain't letting someone's death stop that money train.

Brian O'connor gonna die on screen, or go on vacation.

They can easily write him off by saying he quit the biz and settled down to raise his seed :yeshrug:

Looks like I have to set some facts straight. Is Vin the bigger star of the two? Sure, no disputing that... HOWEVER.. 2 Fast 2 Furious actually made MORE money than the original and everyone knew Vin wasn't going to be in it..

So, basically... some of y'all can stop acting like Walker and Tyrese weren't keeping the franchise afloat.

What made huge money was 5 and 6.....Walker and Tyrese damn sure weren't what people paid to see.

And it would be perfectly in character for Brian and Dom...Dom would feel like a revenge mission isn't anything that his nephew's father should partake in and at the end of the day, what's most important is that his nephew have his mom AND his dad to raise him, not just his mom. And eventually, Brian would agree to it.

This seems like the only logical way to write him off w/o reworking the series.

Nobody would disagree with you there but the relationship between Brian, Mia, Dom and now the child is not something they can just easily write out. It is the backbone of the franchise. They can't just act like it doesn't exist anymore. I know the scripts aren't Oscar worthy but.. they still have continuity :heh:

man continuity went out the window the day they brought han back from the dead for 3 movies that came out after his character died.
