Robin Williams Leaves Behind Four Unreleased New Movies Coming Out



Robin Williams tragically died on Monday at the age 63, leaving behind four completed films that are expected to hit theaters over the course of the next 12 months.

The Oscar winner portrayed Teddy Roosevelt for the third time in Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. The film is slated to be released on December 19.


The legendary actor will also be seen in a holiday-themed movie titled, Merry Friggin’ Christmas. The comedy co-starring Wendi McLendon-Covey, Lauren Graham, and Oliver Platt, is set to be released in the U.S. on November 7.

Williams acted alongside Bob Odenkirk in the drama, Boulevard. It premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, although it has yet to get a theatrical release date.


And the Aladdin star lent his voice to the character Dennis the Dog in the British live-action comedy Absolutely Anything, which is set to debut later this year and features Simon Pegg and Kate Beckinsale.

...or inadequacy, or... I don't know.

Whatever it was that made him so desperate, I wish and hope that he understands his legacy, a permanent legacy.

Robbin was a latter day Mark Twain in a slightly different media. I truly ache but have some comfort in the treasures he left behind. What Dreams Will Come?

He wasn't big on sequels but in the end he needed the paycheck.

I don't know if it would have helped him make the sequel but I wish he could have talked to all the kids whom he helped adjust to a divorce in the family.

I'm beginning to think his depression was clinical.

There was another article out there that Williams had financial problems and some of the work he took was strictly a paycheck and nothing else. Two things they mentioned as 'paychecks' were the TV series and Mrs. Doubtfire 2.

When you're doing work simply because you need the money it never is as fulfilling as when you are doing it because of enjoyment.

saying that he needed the paycheck as to the TV work (and the Clinton's were "dead broke" when they left the Whitehouse)

anyway, clinical and situational depression go hand in hand - at least they are not mutually exclusive
