James Handy's Last Project Dropped After His Passing
James Handy's final project, which had not yet begun production, has officially been canceled following the news of the actor's death. Heidi Anderson-Swan, the writer and producer of the project, confirmed in a recent report that the project has been completely removed out of respect for the actor's passing.
According to TMZ, Handy was set to star in the feature project titled 'Kickstart, V.' However, as soon as news of his murder broke, the feature was entirely scrapped. Heidi Anderson-Swan, who wrote the script and joined the production as a producer, also confirmed this in the report.
Swan revealed that she and Handy had worked together on multiple occasions and described him as a sweet and helpful man. Although she had cast him for her film, production had already been halted several times. Swan stated that Handy's death made the decision far clearer.
What Was 'Kickstart, V' Supposed to Be About?
The feature project, according to the report, was intended to be a comedy skit centered around a group of nerds determined to learn and master the art of karate. The project aimed to explore the relationships and friendships that develop throughout their training, as well as the bond they share with their sensei.
How Did James Handy Pass Away?
Earlier this week, on Wednesday, it was reported that James Handy had died after being stabbed multiple times. Following an investigation, authorities arrested Michael Gledhill, the 44-year-old son of Handy's girlfriend, Wendy Gledhill.
Handy was found by authorities on his home's front lawn after a 911 call was made. According to the report, the caller stated, "I am the son of man, I just killed the man of sin." Gledhill was later arrested and taken into custody. He has been charged with murder, and his bail has been set at USD 2 million. Following his arrest, his mother, Wendy, told the California Post that her son had been diagnosed with schizophrenia and had been on medication for the condition for years. However, he had suddenly stopped taking his medications last week.
The 81-year-old actor was known for many roles over the years, but one of his most beloved was playing the main antagonist in the original 'Jumanji' film opposite Robert Williams.
