I love the thread title update. So has this been officially debunked?
I take it you're not familiar with the dating standards of the rest of the world.

didn't even notice it was a UK site I posted from. Just copied and pasted. I was weirded out by how it called it a November report and the 1/12 thing. Time zones. Totally forgot about that as well.

I knew something was wrong when they named Johnny English as the greatest film of all-time.

Not anymore.

I wonder what this means in general for the future of the franchise.

He was hoaxed dead yesterday and now he's really dead today?

So is this true or a hoax. Because Wikipedia is listing him as dead (but with no information whatsoever) and some in this thread are saying it's a hoax.

Jesus. And I JUST started liking this franchise with Fast Five. I may not like the guy but goddamn. That's a bitch to fix on a film that is STILL filming and a lead actor of a character in the franchise dies. Goddamn.

No major news sites reporting on it yet.

EDIT: NY Daily News reporting now.

It looks to be true. For now. The dead part...that is.

It looks to be true, based off of the twitter feeds of more reputable people and companies than TMZ.

The closest thing I could find were these stories from NBC and CBS but they say the victims have not been identified. This is up in Santa Clarita:

http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?se...les&id=9344668

http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2013/...ery-car-crash/


Also the first story that mentioned Walker's death was posted 8 hours ago, when these two stories say the crash happened around 3:30pm. I'm not a math whiz, if the first story posted 8 hours ago, wasn't that around 11:am pacific?


8 hours ago?????

http://ph.news.yahoo.com/paul-walker...183000167.html

the cbs and nbc links say 3:30pm.

Solid Snake 11-30-13 09:05 PM

The thing that is really bugging me is that no major news places are bringing this up. Which is fucking weird.

Yes, the movie is the chief tragedy. Not the loss of human life. -ohbfrank-

Then again, I'm the asshole that immediately asked "so what becomes of the rights to Halloween"? when I was first told of the death of Moustapha Akkad and Rima Akkad Monla back in 2005. So I guess that makes me the Kettle in this scenario.

Sad, ironic death for Paul Walker :(

A rep for Paul Walker confirms to TMZ the actor died today in the crash after leaving a charity event.

Mods can you update the thread title?
