Written by . Published: December 14 2013

Actor Paul Walker's family members were treated to a private screening of the tragic star's final film on Thursday (12Dec13).


A representative for Hours has confirmed to Us Weekly that the late Fast & Furious star's relatives watched the thriller together at a theater in La Canada Flintridge, California.


The source says, "His family was very stoic, but they enjoyed the film and had a really lovely evening."


Walker's 15-year-old daughter Meadow did not attend the screening, but the rep claims she and Walker's father, Paul Walker III, had already seen the film at this year's South by Southwest Film Festival in Texas.


Just two weeks before his car crash death on 30 November (13), the actor recalled viewing the film that was to be his last with his daughter at the festival, stating, "It was cool to watch the reaction because I'm proud of the work that I did because I told the truth the whole time."


In the film, which opens on Friday (13Dec13), Walker plays a father struggling to keep his infant daughter alive in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.


Reports suggest the actor's remains will be cremated at a private family funeral this weekend (14Dec13).
