Vin Diesel Wants to Bring Back Paul Walker’s ‘Fast and Furious’ Character
More than fast cars or fistfights or crime-committing while crime-fighting, the Fast and Furious movies are about one thing: family.

Vin Diesel really wants to make sure we don’t forget about the late Paul Walker’s character Brian O’Connor, because apparently he wants to find some way to bring him back.
Adam Driver Says ‘Star Wars: Episode 8’ Is Similar to ‘The Empire Strikes Back’
Okay, relax, it’s not what you think. The Force Awakens is still one of the most successful movies in box office history. The criticism, when there was any, shared a similar theme: it was way too similar to the very first Star Wars movie A New Hope.
