Vaguely Creepy Statue of Anton Yelchin Unveiled at Hollywood Forever Cementary

By James St. James on October 9, 2017 11:31 am

Jennifer Lawrence, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, JJ Abrams, Demi Moore, and Rumer Willis  were among those who joined joined Anton Yelchin‘s mother (the legendary Russian figure skater Irina Yeltsin) at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery yesterday in Los Angeles to honor late Star Trek actor, who died last year after being pinned by his own car outside his home.

A statue made in this likeness, created by sculptor Nick Marra and FX artist Greg Nicotero, was unveiled in the Garden of Legends at the cemetery, near late singer Chris Cornell’s memorial. The memorial also included readings, and remarks by friends and family.

Sweet, but why do I find statues so creepy?

Can we just take a moment to remember this beautiful human??? Anton Yelchin was such a brilliant person, funny, kind, talented and insanely smart. He sadly passed away last year at the age of 27. The day I heard I was in tears and again today I find myself in tears after seeing the movie into darkness again, yelchin was a highly skilled actor, his portrayal of ensign Chekhov was nothing short of perfection. I have an always will admire this amazing man with all my heart and though I never met him I miss him as I’m sure many others do. RIP. #antonyelchin #rip #ensignchekov #startrek #intodarkness #startrekbeyond
