It’s hard to believe that we’re already almost exactly three years removed from the shocking, tragic death of actor Anton Yelchin. At the age of 27, due to a freak accident, the young actor was killed, leaving behind a legacy of incredible films and artistic achievements. The life and career of Yelchin take center stage in the touching documentary “Love, Antosha.”
As seen in the new trailer for the doc, “Love, Antosha” pulls back the curtain to not only give you an idea of the legacy Yelchin left behind in Hollywood, but also just how incredibly talented the actor was outside of his roles in films like “Star Trek,” “Green Room,” and “Charlie Bartlett,” just to name a few. His love of music, and especially, his unique photography work are also detailed in the somber, but joyful, documentary.
