Celebrity Death: RIP Anton Yelchin

[x Tame Impala]

He was also fantastic in Like Crazy.

Ugh so sad.

Forgot about that one. He put on a show in that one too

 

[firewagonHOCKEY]

I liked him in the new Star Trek movies. RIP.

 

[kihei]

Really shocking. He had a lot of talent. What a careless way to die.

 

[Afino]

that's some Final Destination ****

RIP to a talented young actor

 

[Spring in Fialta]

He was cool in Only Lovers Left Alive as well. Sad.

 

[Acadmus]

Unimaginable that the guy who played the original Chekov outlived the actor that ended up replacing him in the movies. He wasn't bad for being used sparingly, too - maybe a little over the top though.

R.I.P.

Another good one

The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that the car that rolled into and killed Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin was a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, a model that Fiat Chrysler recently recalled after its unconventional gear shifter led to several documented rollaway accidents.

The investigation into Yelchin’s death is ongoing and authorities have not determined the exact cause of the wreck, but this is almost certainly something they will be looking into.

Could be a big lawsuit if this is proven.

 

[BigMac1212]

I hope there's a tasteful tribute in "Star Trek Beyond."

Just realized he also joins the 27 club


the fact that the vehicle was recalled and the fact he was signed for a lot movies--could be a huge lawsuit

 

[Stanley Foobrick]

RIP

Im going to add Rudderless to the list. An amazing, thought provoking movie I don't believe many have even heard of never mind actually seen. Do yourself a favour and watch this movie.

 

[Eisen]

Uh, why not just put it in park and not even take the chance of it rolling into you?...

Anyways, very sad. RIP.

I drive stick. There is no park.

 

[Ainec]

Don't believe in the 27 club. It's only because that's when people hit their stride so any death is notable.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Yeah, the 27 club only deals with suicides/ODs, no?

I don't think Yelchin belongs with the rest of that group.

It's coming out this summer isn't it? If that's the case I'm sure they've pretty much finished it...at most it'll have an "in memory" mention in the credits. It's the next film that will have to tackle the question of what happened to Chekov. Replace him with another actor or write out the character?

I think the best option is to write out the character and replace him with another one played by a different actor. Doesn't mean they have to kill off the character, just say he transferred to another ship (maybe as first officer) or left Starfleet for some other Federation posting.

Actually if they do it right they could really make it interesting with Decker.

Probably just a recast.

They didn't explain what happened to Heath Ledger when Jared Leto took the reins as Joker.

 

[Fire Everyone]

They didn't explain what happened to Heath Ledger when Jared Leto took the reins as Joker.

Nor would they ever have to as they are from different movie universes.

A better example would have been Mark Ruffalo replacing Edward Norton as Bruce Banner.

Or Don Cheadle replacing Terrance Howard.

I just used Ledger because, like Yelchin, he actually passed away while identified as the character.

Even if Ledger was still alive, he wouldn't be cast as the Joker for the current DC movies.

Ah, touche then.

 

[Stanley Foobrick]

Ah, touche then.

from what I understand it's not your typical automatic shifter the you physically move into each driving range. It's just a shifter you tap to change drive position. Apparently the indicator on the dash is pretty bad too, bases for the recall.

 

[Shockmaster]

I'm guessing he didn't have his parking break on?

no the 27 club deals with all celebs who died at 27--it is part of the curse
