Paul Walker's younger, lookalike brother has been asked to step in for him to film the final scenes for Fast & The Furious 7.
The 40-year-old star was on a break from filming at the time of his death in a shocking car crash two weeks ago.
And in a poignant tribute to the star, MailOnline can reveal Cody Walker, 25, who has worked as a movie stuntman, is set to take his place in the latest installment of the hit franchise.
Following Paul's death, Universal Pictures announced it was their 'duty' to shut down production - adding they were 'dedicated to providing support to Paul's immediate family and our extended Fast & Furious family of cast, crew, and filmmakers.'
A source close to production said today: 'Producers had a string of meetings right after Paul's death.
'They soon realized they needed someone who looked like Paul to finish the movie and that's when they approached his nearly identical brother, Cody.'
Cody, who lives in Oregon, has been staying with his mother Cheryl in Los Angeles and helping to comfort her since his brother's death, and the source added: 'They can shoot Cody from behind and at distance and if it's a shot they need Paul's face in close up they can CGI it later on.
''If Cody agrees it's because he wants to honor his brother's memory. There are many details that still need to be worked out, but right now the family and cast and crew are all still grieving.'
