“The first is to bring the franchise back to L.A.,” he said before adding, “The second thing was to return to the car culture, to the street racing.”
Diesel concluded with his last wish: “The third thing was reuniting Dom and Brian O’Conner. That is what you’re going to get in the finale.”
On Nov. 30, 2013, Paul died in a car accident in Valencia, Calif. He was 40. Paul was reprising his role as Brian in Universal’sFast & Furious 7 when the tragedy happened. However, the seventh film was able to end the movie by giving his character a proper sendoff as it sees Dom and Brian speak and then drive away in separate directions. To accomplish this, the film used CGI, VFX artists, his two brothers, Cody and Caleb Walker and created 350 shots.
