Posthumously released films are not a novelty in Hollywood. With advanced production schedules, a hard-working actor can have several unreleased films in the can at their time of death—the late Bernie Mac had three. Sometimes it can be a little unsettling to watch a film after an actor has passed, but usually it serves as a final testament to their great dedication to their craft.
