Damn what a fucking shame.
I actually saw the same thing happen when I was a kid. Getting dropped off after school at our house and the driver got out to open the sliding door and out of nowhere our car started rolling down our steep driveway. The driver chose to stay there to try and protect the van full of kids with his body and got mashed between the van and the car. Luckily he survived but was pretty badly hurt.

God dammit.
RIP, I really enjoyed his take on Chekov. Gonna make it hard to watch his scenes in the new film.

That is a damn shame. I really liked his performances in the Star Trek movies (I even liked him in Terminator Salvation). RIP

Jesus fucking Christ, that's awful.
R.I.P. to a talented actor and by all accounts, a good, good person.

Shit, that's awful. RIP to a rising star. His performance in Green Room had true breakout potential.

Yeah, and like Joe pointed out, neutral could have been virtually silent. It was just hard to visualize from the initial TMZ report and without any knowledge of how long the driveway was, and how steep it was, and how much time it would take to walk to the bottom, and how long before the car started rolling backwards...
Just bizarre and sad and terrible. Especially considering how long he was there. Did nobody hear him? Did he even get a chance to make a noise?
Awful. I don't think there was ever a role he took on that I didn't enjoy. He was in some not great movies, but his performances were never the reason those movies didn't work. He was just eminently likable, even when you maybe weren't supposed to like him so much.

Tragic.
His scene at the end of Alpha Dog never fails to punch me right in the feels

You should see the end of Odd Thomas. The movie is incredibly goofy throughout but then has a legitimately sad ending and Yelchin sells it.

I've really been wanting to watch Green Room and haven't gotten around to it yet. He looks great in it.

27 is way too young. Such a freak accident apparently. Have more details come out yet? Why was he out of the car? Did he leave something in the trunk, or want to check on something in the trunk, put it in park but accidentally put it in neutral and didn't realize it? Shame. He must have been in a hurry and just wasn't thinking properly.
RIP.
RIP.

So I'm guessing he thought he put it in park instead of neutral to go check the mail? Damn, that sucks. I LOVE Odd Thomas. It is so good. RIP man.

Damn shame, I just watched Odd Thomas as well and really enjoyed his performance.
He was a really talented, charismatic actor.
