Bespin 8,499 Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 27-year-old actor was on his way to a rehearsal when the accident occurred on his driveway, police say Anton Yelchin, who starred in the Star Trek reboot franchise, died Sunday in Los Angeles after being struck by his own car on the steep driveway of his home. http://www.cbc.ca/news/arts/anton-yelchin-dead-accident-1.3642660 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt C 456 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Absolutely horrible to hear. So young, and a promising talent. He will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,364 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 That's awful, what a horrible loss of an amazing talent. Showed so much promise too, no doubt he had many wonderful performances ahead of him. Rest in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 He didn't do many high profile films, but I always enjoyed his screen presence. I vividly remember his strong performance opposite Anthony Hopkins in 2001's Hearts In Atlantis. I read the news earlier where it just mentioned a traffic collision, but reading now that it was some freak accident makes it all the worse.

Naïve Old Fart 9,662 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 His was a minor, yet undeniably promising talent. I shall watch GREEN ROOM, with sadness, I shall watch STID, as a tribute, but I don't care who's died; I will not watch TERMINATOR: SALVATION, under any circumstances.

Thor 7,594 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I've never cared about STAR TREK, so TERMINATOR: SALVATION is what I remember him from the most -- a massively underrated film. In either case, a terrible, freakish accident, this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I especially enjoyed him in Jim Jarmusch's movie ONLY LOVERS LEFT ALIVE. He was a great darkly comic foil to Tom Hiddleston's brooding and serious vampire. His presence on our screens will be missed. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,467 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 He was also great in Brett Ratner's segment of New York, I Love You It will be weird going to see Star Trek Beyond now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Wow, terrible news. Not terribly familiar with him, but still far too young for a promising actor. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yelchin was heartbreaking in the otherwise shitty Alpha Dog. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I love almost all of his movies (with The Limits of Control being my least favorite) but the two I would most wholeheartedly recommend everyone see are: Down by Law Mystery Train IMO those are peak-Jarmusch.

Uni 306 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Saddened to hear this. Even more ticked that it seems to have been the result of a serious design flaw in the vehicle's transmission.

The moment when Kirk tells him to put on a red shirt . . . and the his harrowed, silent reaction . . . that might prove to be a strange, even awkward, moment to sit through.
