    Good to see. Meanwhile, it seems what has been filmed of the seventh film may be scrapped and they'll start again. A decision is said to be weeks or even days away.

    That's probably the most sensible thing to do, particularly if they still had a lot of filming left to do.

    Could well mean another film being released for 2015 though.

    EDIT: I see @Samuel001 beat me to it.

    They may just film seven and eight back to back and release them from 2016. No point trying to rush something into a year that's fully taken. Universal will make the right decision, whatever that is.

    Right when Walker passed away, my friend was telling me that he was in the middle of shooting them back-to-back, but I didn't think that was true. They could do that, especially if they have to scrap everything and restart.

    EDIT: Production has officially shut down:

    DVD proceeds of 'Fast & Furious 6' will go to Paul's charity:

    Pretty cool of them to do that.

    Yes, I am glad they are doing that. Just to keep it in perspective, "a portion of" the proceeds will be donated, not all by any means. Still, that is a very decent and appropriate gesture.

    Absolutely. Whatever amount they decide is already a really generous gesture.

    Paul Walker is said to have died of the "combined effects of traumatic and thermal injuries," while Roger Rodas died of "multiple traumatic injuries" the coroner said.

    The coroner ruled that both deaths were accidents and said that the injuries occurred when the car struck a fixed object.

    Universal Pictures has announced it is putting filming of Fast & Furious 7 on hold indefinitely.

    They said in a statement: "Right now, all of us at Universal are dedicated to providing support to Paul's immediate family and our extended Fast & Furious family of cast, crew and filmmakers. At this time we feel it is our responsibility to shut down production on Fast & Furious 7 for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise. We are committed to keeping Fast & Furious fans informed, and we will provide further information to them when we have it. Until then, we know they join us in mourning the passing of our dear friend Paul Walker."

    Over half the film had been shot at the time of the accident.

    An article just said they both died within seconds of impact; I sincerely hope so.

    It's really unfortunate knowing that the crash wasn't what killed Paul, it was the fire.

    But knowing he was unconscious on impact at least meant he never knew what killed him. Some comfort in that at least.

    within seconds - he was unconscious and it was quick.

    I'd heard about his being on poor health earlier this year, but nothing recently. Either way, he was 95, so it's not too surprising.

    R.I.P. to one of the greatest heroes of the 20th century.

    Sad news but I think many will be relieved that his suffering has come to an end. I can't imagine what it must be like to just be hanging on to life in that fashion. One can only hope that his family show a little more decorum now that he has passed instead of the squabling they've been doing for the most of this year. RIP Nelson.

    95 is a long and eventful life, one he lived to the full. What he's done and his legend will live on forever though. RIP.

    I just heard. Mandela lived a full and inspiring life, accomplishing things lesser men couldn't. May he rest in peace.

    A very informative interview with Matt Luber, the man who guided Paul Walker's career:

    Respects paid to Nelson Mandela for all that he achieved in his long life. A true statesman.

    Nice to see Nelson Mandela being sidelined by Yahoo News to talk about Joey Fatone's new haircut. *long, long, disappointed sigh*

    So ironic that on the evening of the movie premiere for the great man, we should actually lose him! RIP Nelson Mandela.

    Yes, I hear that those attending the premiere were informed of his death as the credits rolled. They held a two minute silence for him.

    That is a very nice touch. Must have been VERY difficult for his daughter who I believe was attending it also?

    Amazing that we actually lived in an era that was lived in by such a Saintly man.

    The Church should declare this man holy instead of all those previous popes.
