Just saw that.  Man, what a way to go.  And with the new movie coming out soon too.

That's a pretty shitty way to go

I wonder if he was drunk. Who forgets to put the car in park? Especially on a steep incline.

No clue what happened but from the description I'm envisioning him just simply coming home, parking his car in his driveway(accidentally put it into neutral rather than park) and went to go get his mail. Either way, really unfortunate freak accident. Dude was a good young actor. I just watched Green Room not too long ago too and he was good in that

RIP. Mr. Chekov

So, not to sound like a bigger dick than I am.  But do they delay the movie, and maybe rework it ala Furious 7?

RIP Anton

His car is being recalled for the exact reason why he died.  Really sad.  RIP.

WTF? I drive the same car and I had no idea there was a recall.

Not to sound like an even bigger dick but do you really see the studio pushing the movie back for him?  He was a talented actor who I recognized in multiple movies but he was a bit player in the franchise whereas Walker was one of the main 2 guys who helped launch the F&F franchise.  I think if anything they'd add an "In Memory of..." at the end rather than push back a movie they probably spent 100M+ on.  

Terrible and random way to go.

Anton Yelchin’s Jeep Grand Cherokee May Have Been Part of ‘Rollaway’ Recall

Craig's jeep may have been part of recall.

[Jason]

That sucks. Sounds like some crap out of a Final Destination movie

I don't see any such recall for the 2014-2015 cherokees.  So you know Jeep is going to get sued by some ambulance chaser.
