Anton Yelchin, who died in a freak car accident Sunday, leaves behind several completed films and animated TV show that have not yet been released.
Yelchin also stars in Netflix’s upcoming animation series Trollhunters for Guillermo del Toro and DreamWorks Animation, which premieres in December. He voices the lead role, Jim, in series opposite the voices of Kelsey Grammer and Ron Perlman. The announcement was made last week at France’s Annecy Festival and marks Del Toro’s first work for kids and families.
Del Toro tweeted a tribute to Yelchin: “Anton was a sweetheart. Absolutely a great creative partner and artist. The sweetest, most humble, delightful, talented guy you’d ever meet. Worked together for about a year. Shocked.”
Yelchin had also recently completed filming the psychological thriller Thoroughbred for June Pictures and B Story. He starred opposite Olivia Cooke and Anya Taylor-Joy, with Cory Finley making his directorial debut from a script based on his play about a tempestuous friendship between two suburban teenage girls.
The young actor had also completed filming the sci-fi drama “Rememory” opposite Peter Dinklage, in a story about a professor who mysteriously dies on the eve of releasing his life-changing invention.
Yelchin had also shot two other independent titles that have not yet been released: the family drama We Don’t Belong Here, opposite Catherine Keener; and Porto, a romance-drama set in the Portuguese city of Porto.
