Paul Walker’s brothers are expected to help “fill in small gaps” in “Fast & Furious 7” action scenes that were not finished before the actor’s death, producers said Tuesday.

Paul Walker died in a fiery car crash during Thanksgiving break in filming last November, forcing to halt production.

“We had to take time to grieve Paul, the brother we love and lost, and to figure out if we should move on with our film,” producers wrote to fans in a Facebook post Tuesday.

Walker’s dramatic scenes were completed before his death but some action sequences were unfinished, they said.

“We have resumed shooting and now welcome Paul’s brothers, Caleb and Cody, into our ‘Fast’ family,” the post said. “Caleb and Cody are helping us complete some remaining action for their brother and fill in small gaps left in production. Having them on set has made us all feel that Paul is with us, too.”

The was to be released this summer, but Universal decided to push it back to April 10, 2015.

AMC ‘Mad Men’ Season 7 Premiere Has Lowest Ratings in 6 Years

0

Rough start for AMC’s ‘Mad Men’ 

The end is near for Mad Men and last night the series had one of their lowest season premiere.

The return of AMC’s hit series drew on average 2.3 million viewers. The highly promoted one hour debut was down about a third of their total viewers from the 3.4 million viewers who watched the Season 6 premiere.

According to Deadline ratings took a quick downward turn in demographics:

 In terms of the key demos, last night’s Season 7 debut pulled in 1.1 million viewers among Adults 25-54 and 1 million among the 18-49s. While one of the most DVR’d shows on TV and certain to see a rise when the digital numbers start coming in, last night’s premiere was a dip from the 1.4 million viewers among adults 18-49 and 1.7 million viewers among adults 25-54 that Season 6′s premiere had.

Even though this is the last season of AMC’s Mad Men, you would assume the series would go out with a bang.

Women and Minority Writers See Gains in TV but Lag Behind in Film – WGA Diversity Report

0

The WGA West Hollywood Writers Report has reported gains for minority and women TV writers but a decrease in employment in films.

The full study is titled “Turning Missed Opportunities into Realized Ones” is a a series of semi-annual reports commissioned by the Writers Guild of America that is expected to be published in June.

First reported by Deadline, a summary was released today and here are the key changes that have occurred for writers in the TV and Film industry:

· Women remained underrepresented by a factor of nearly 2-to-1 among TV writers in 2012, claiming 27% of sector employment, and they earned about 92 cents for every dollar earned by white males in 2012 — up slightly from 91 cents in 2009. Women screenwriters accounted for 15% of sector employment (down from 17% in 2009) , and they earned 77 cents for every dollar earned by white male film writers in 2012, down from 82 cents in 2009.

· Minority TV writers posted an increase in employment share (from 10% in 2009 to 11% in 2012), also closing the earnings gap “a bit.” Data also show that minorities watch a disproportionate share of television and theatrical films, while increases in their consumer spending outpace the rest of the nation. On the film side, the minority share of film employment was steady at 5% compared by 2009.

· Older writers — especially ages 41-50 — claimed the largest share of employment in TV and film, as well as the highest earnings in each sector. The relative status of older writers tends to decline “rather rapidly” beyond 60.

As time passes you would expect more progressive attitudes towards minorities and women. But, it is tough to learn that women were closer to reaching equal compensation in the workplace 5 years ago in comparison to today.
