After news broke that Robin Williams had committed suicide back in August, fans mourned the loss of one of the sharpest comedic minds the world has ever known. While his existing body of work will be enjoyed for generations to come, it seemed impossible to imagine that someone so lively and animated as Williams would never again grace the screen with his distinct blend of manic energy and real human emotion. Fortunately, before he died, Williams wrapped filming on a dark holiday comedy titled Merry Friggin’ Christmas. The trailer for Robin’s final film was released online earlier today. Merry Friggin Christmas Trailer In the film, Williams plays the cantankerous father of Joel McHale and Clark Duke who must make an emergency last-minute road trip with his adult children in order to “save Christmas.” The actor was reportedly working on a number of projects in the months before his death, but Merry Friggin’ Christmas is said to be the last film that he completed before his unexpected passing. While Williams has been the subject of many moving rembrances from fans and friends alike, we can’t think of a more fitting tribute to one of the funniest men who’s ever lived than to watch him do what he does best on the silver screen one last time.
