It is confirmed that the producers of the seventh Fast and Furious movie will not kill off Paul Walker's character, Brian O'Conner, but to have him 'retire' from the scene.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Universal, the producers and director James Wan have found a way to use the footage of Walker, before the fatal accident that caused his death, in a way that will satisfy the series' fans.

Walker died last November during the midst of filming Fast & Furious 7 and because of the shocking demise of the actor, the movie's release date has been pushed back to April 2015 instead of October 2014.
