David Carradine: My Suicide One of His Last Movies
The official cause of David Carradine's death has not been determined yet, but one of his final movies may give us even more evidence that he didn't take his own life.
In My Suicide, the late actor plays a wise old man described as "the poet of death," who counsels a high schooler (Gabriel Sunday) who's contemplating killing himself.
One scene features Carradine delivering a lengthy monologue, trying to explain to the teen boy that he should "kill" off the parts of himself he doesn't like rather than committing suicide.
A producer of the film is nonprofit Regenerate Films, which is dedicated to preventing teen suicide.
"We are tremendously saddened to hear of our friend David Carradine's tragic death," the film company said in a statement to Entertainment Weekly. "His remarkable spirit will live on through the legacy of his incomparable career. Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones."
My Suicide was awarded the Crystal Bear for Best Picture at this year's Berlin Film Festival. It also picked up Best Picture at the Gen Art Festival in NYC as well as Best Actor for newcomer Sunday. A release date has not been announced.
