Anton was commemorated by his family and co-stars yesterday in a touching celebration of his life at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles. Via People.com, here are some details from the ceremony.

Star Trek co-star, Zoe Saldana, delivered a speech. “It is a bitter sweet moment, because we’re here for Anton, and he’s not here with us,” she said. “But, it alleviates my heart knowing that we’ll keep him alive. We’re going to keep remembering him in the hopes that by practicing all the things he believed in and remembering all the love that he gave us, and all the joy he gave us, we’re able to just keep him here with us,” she said. She also read a chapter on friendship from The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran that says, “Ever since I read that chapter about friendship, that is the one thing I always try to seek in people, and when I find human beings who truly understand the meaning of friendship, I’m moved and inspired.”

Fred Parnes, director of the 2000 film A Man Is Mostly Water, also gave a speech. “I’m here to say that we owe it to Anton to lift our souls evermore, to choose celebration, to choose exaltation and jubilation. The longer I live, the more I’m aware of how little I actually know. But I’m absolutely certain that that is what Anton would want. I can hear him say, ‘Yes, dude! Celebrate my life. Do something unexpected in my name, travel the road less taken and then tell me what you found.’ That’s what he would want and I refuse to let him down,” he said.

Anton’s mother, Irina, also delivered a speech, remembering her son as a “beautiful human being,” and mentioned the Anton Yelchin Foundation, which was created in memory of him and helps young artists who face career challenges due to debilitating disease or disability. She joked a bit as well, saying “Were my son to know we were making him a sculpture, he would said, ‘Mama, you’re laughing at me, right?’ and then he’ll say, ‘Oh, only if it makes you feel better.’”

Among the guests are Jennifer Lawrence (co-star from Like Crazy), Simon Pegg (co-star from Star Trek), Emile Hirsch (co-star from Alpha Dog), Jon Voight (co-star from Court of Conscience), J.J. Abrams (director of Star Trek), Drake Doremus (director of Like Crazy), and Jeremy Saulnier (director of Green Room).

The tribute wall from last year’s Star Trek Las Vegas convention was also on display at the ceremony.

After the celebration, guests gathered in the Garden of Legends for the unveiling of Anton’s statue. It was created by sculptor, Nick Marra, and FX artist, Greg Nicotero.

I have added some photos in our gallery. Some are not that high-quality, but I got what I could get. And it still feels more like a private event, so I only added a fair amount of photos.

A batch of official images from one of Anton’s final films, Thoroughbreds, has been released, including a few production stills and an official poster. The first trailer is expected to be dropped next week. The film premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival last January, and is set for a March 9, 2018 release.

Childhood friends Lily and Amanda reconnect in suburban Connecticut after years of growing apart. Lily has turned into a polished, upper-class teenager, with a fancy boarding school on her transcript and a coveted internship on her resume; Amanda has developed a sharp wit and her own particular attitude, but all in the process of becoming a social outcast. Though they initially seem completely at odds, the pair bond over Lily’s contempt for her oppressive stepfather, Mark, and as their friendship grows, they begin to bring out one another’s most destructive tendencies. Their ambitions lead them to hire a local hustler, Tim, and take matters into their own hands to set their lives straight.

The first season of Trollhunters is set to be released on DVD on November 7th. No Blu-ray version was announced, as of now. The 4-disc set will consist all 26 episodes of the first season, along with a behind-the-scenes featurette with the show’s creator, co-writer, and co-executive producer, Guillermo del Toro. You can pre-order your copy on Amazon.

The show was one of Anton’s final projects. He was able to record majority of his lines before his untimely passing. Del Toro refused to recast the character and preserved his work. Other voice cast includes Kelsey Grammer, Ron Perlman, Steven Yeun, Lauren Tom, Clancy Brown, Tom Hiddleston, and James Purefoy. The show has already been renewed for a 13-episode second season, which is expected later this year.

When ordinary teenager Jim Lake Jr. stumbles upon a mystical amulet on his way to school one morning, he inadvertently discovers an extraordinary secret civilization of mighty trolls beneath his small town of Arcadia. Suddenly destined to play a crucial role in an ancient battle of good and evil, Jim is determined to save the world…right after gym class. A must-see viewing event for the entire family, DreamWorks Trollhunters will bring viewers of all ages around the globe into the rich and creative world of this all-new Netflix original series.

Check out the first official trailer for one of Anton’s final projects, Rememory. The film will be out in theaters on September 8th, and on Google Play on August 24th.

The film explores the unexplained death of Gordon Dunn (Martin Donovan), a visionary scientific pioneer whose body is found shortly after the unveiling of his newest work: a device able to extract, record and play a person’s memories. Gordon’s wife, Carolyn (Julia Ormond – Mad Men, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Legends of the Fall), retreats into her house and cuts off contact with the outside world when a mysterious man (Peter Dinklage – Game of Thrones, X-Men: Days of Future Past, The Station Agent) shows up. After stealing the machine, he uses it to try and solve the mystery, beginning an investigation of memories that lead him to unexpected and dangerous places.

Like Crazy director, Drake Doremus, shared a moving two-minute video tribute to Anton yesterday. It features candid and behind-the-scenes moments from when they were filming the movie. It’s such a moving, heartbreaking video with a simple message that hits too close to our hearts.

Today marks the first year since we lost such a beautiful, unique, and talented soul, but it still hurts that Anton’s no longer with us. We miss you so much! Thank you again for sharing your talent with us and inspiring many of us along the way.

The gallery has been updated with a lot of additional high-quality photo shoots and portraits taken of Anton, and also updated some with higher-quality versions!

Yahoo Movies shared an exclusive clip from one of Anton’s final films, We Don’t Belong Here. The film is out on DVD and Digital today.

Kino Lorber has acquired North American rights to Porto, the Gabe Klinger-directed film starring Anton Yelchin and Lucie Lucas. The deal comes as the pic shot in the Portuguese city preps for its North American premiere Sunday at SXSW. The pic is screening in 35mm in Austin, and Kino Lorber is planning a fall theatrical release with a commitment to show the film both on 35mm and digital before a winter VOD bow.

It’s one of the final film roles for Yelchin, who died last June in a freak car accident. He plays Jake, who along with Mati (Lucas) are outsiders in the northerly Portuguese city of Porto who once experienced a brief but intimate connection. He’s an American loner exiled from his family; she’s a French student abroad with her professor lover. One day they see each other from a distance at an archeological site and then again at a train station and a café, where Jake works up the courage to speak to her for the first time, and they embark on a night of carefree intimacy. The experience is looked at years later, both of them still haunted by the powerful moments they shared.
