Brian Fowler Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 TMZ @TMZ 2m A rep for Paul Walker confirms to TMZ the actor died today in the crash after leaving a charity event. EDIT: And while copy/pasting/posting, apparently a whole lot more confirmation made it into this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I do find it remarkable that the internet has now reached the point where we assume a true death is a hoax. Way to go internet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we've been hit with so may death hoaxes via the 'Net. The cynicism is founded in reality, I'm afraid. And as much flak TMZ gets (much of it deserved), then tend to tread lightly regarding deaths. And they tend to get that sort of thing right.

Nothing wrong in 2013 for wanting multiple sources on a story, esp a death, be it the AP or TMZ. I agree, but that's kind of my point. The internet is such a cesspool that expecting it's a hoax is a reasonable position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several times they have reported a death that wasn't so anytime they are the first source for a death I take it with a grain of salt. Joy Ride was legit one of my favorite movies back in the day.

Yeah, they started in September and the focus for the first month was mostly on stunt work and car chases. I doubt there's even enough to pull some sort of Brandon Lee-esque CGI trick.

If that's the case, then that movie is in for a ton of rewrites. Maybe now because of Walker's death they'll make Statham's character into more of a juggernaut, and have him kill half of the Fast cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is depressing. Me and my friends have gone to every Fast movie since we were young. We're probably among Walker's biggest fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
