The passing of Anton Yelchin in a tragic accident earlier this week still has people in understandable shock.
Yelchin leaves behind an impressive body of work, including a major role in one of the year's best films with the thriller "Green Room". Now, in an interview with producers Ketih Kjarval and Gary Schultz by Indiewire, it has been revealed that Yelchin was just three weeks away from shooting his directorial debut when he passed.
Entitled "Travis," Yelchin co-wrote the film which Kjarval describes as a: "voyeuristic crime thriller… neo-noir, very urgent in morality, like a Dardennes Brothers film." The story follows an actor and photographer who witness a murder after he follows a girl to her apartment.

Former Penn State football assistant coach Mike McQueary, who testified against Jerry Sandusky in his high-profile child abuse trial, may have been abused himself as a child.
Mike McQueary Abused As Child
McQueary is the subject of a profile in a forthcoming issue of Espn The Magazine. In the issue, the sports magazine claims that McQueary once told a group of Penn State football players that he could understand the traumatic experience of the boys who suffered at the hands of Sandusky – because he’d experience something similar.
“Mike McQueary confided to a dozen Nittany Lions players that he could relate to the helplessness of the young boy he had seen with Sandusky in a campus shower a decade earlier because he was abused as a boy, according to two players who attended the meeting and four others with knowledge of it,” a snippet from the article reads. “McQueary did...

A report commissioned by Penn State University finds former football coach Joe Paterno and other top university officials "repeatedly concealed critical facts" about former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky's sexual abuse of young boys.
The report, headed by former FBI director and federal judge Louis Freeh, accuses former university president Graham Spanier, Paterno, athletic director Timothy Curley and Gary Schultz, the school's senior vice president of finance and business, of "total and consistent disregard ... for the safety and welfare of Sandusky's child victims."
"As the Grand Jury similarly noted in its presentment, there was no attempt to investigate, to identify Victim 2, or to protect that child or any others from similar conduct except as related to preventing its re-occurrence on University property," the report reads.
Freeh's report finds the university's failure to act more decisively after it learned of Sandusky's behavior was motivated in large part by fear of negative publicity for Penn State,...

A sex-abuse scandal involving a former assistant football coach at Penn State University could end the career of the school's legendary head coach, Joe Paterno.
Calls for the 84-year-old Paterno's resignation have been building over the past few days since it was revealed that Jerry Sandusky, the long-time defensive coordinator for the Nittany Lions, has been charged with sexually abusing eight young boys during and after his tenure at the university. Paterno has been criticized for telling only university officials, and not local police, about an allegation of abuse by Sandusky in 2002.
Now The New York Times reports that the university is figuring out how to handle Paterno's exit from the university. He has coached Penn State for 46 years, and his 409 wins as a head coach are the most in Ncaa Division I history. The Times says Paterno's exit will likely come "within days or weeks."
