Anton’s family and friends came together at the opening night of Anton Yelchin: Provocative Beauty, an exhibit that features photos from Anton’s six-year photography work, at De Buck Gallery in Los Angeles last December 13th. Kristen Stewart (from Fierce People), Ben Foster (Alpha Dog), Bryce Dallas Howard (Terminator: Salvation) were among his co-stars that were there to support. The exhibit will run until January 20th.

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.

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!

An exhibit showcasing Anton’s photography is now open to public viewing at Other Gallery in Los Angeles, and will remain on display until the end of the year. The tribute wall signed by fans at this year’s Star Trek convention is also part of the exhibit. The opening was held yesterday, and some celebrities were there in attendance, including Star Trek co-stars Chris Pine and John Cho, and directors J.J. Abrams and Drake Doremus. I have added some photos into the gallery!

Update: The address for Other Gallery is 1050 N Cahuenga Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90038, for those who would like to see the exhibit. Thanks to @Nien_Nunb for the info!

Back in 2005, Anton starred in the independent drama-thriller, Fierce People, with Diane Lane, Donald Sutherland, Kristen Stewart, and Chris Evans. I have updated the gallery with additional production stills and poster from the film, as well as 1,053 high-resolution screencaps. Huge thanks to Dianne at Chris Evans Online for generously donating the screencaps!

The October 07 issue of Entertainment Weekly features a preview of one of Anton’s final projects, the animated series Trollhunters, which will debut on Netflix this December.

This year’s Star Trek convention had a special memorial to Anton. Fans were able to sign an art wall dedicated to Anton. Here are some pics:
