Robin Williams’ Last Film ‘Boulevard’ May Never Hit Cinemas

One of Robin Williams’ last films might not even be seen by the public. “Boulevard” has failed to find a mainstream backer, which meant it could not reach cinemas.

In “Boulevard,” the late actor played a gay man who has only come to terms with his sexuality after decades of heterosexual marriage. He co-starred with Kathy Baker, Bob Odenkirk, Giles Matthey and Roberto Aguire. It premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in April, but had not lured a distributor to bring it to mainstream cinemas.

“It’s really sad but it is looking impossible that Boulevard will ever see the light of day now,” a source told The Mirror. “It has proved to be a struggle for it to find the support it needs to be released.

“The cast have tried, as have the crew. But for many reasons it is looking very unlikely. There is one suggestion it isn’t up to scratch and is failing on merit to find anyone to distribute it.”

It’s unfortunate if that happens as Williams was very proud of the movie before he died.

“Boulevard is a beautiful, sad movie about a guy who falls in love with a gay prostitute, basically comes out,” he was quoted as saying then. “He’s married, and he has to come out to his wife. It was powerful to do.”

Williams, who committed suicide in August at the age of 63, still has a few unreleased films. “A Merry Friggin’ Christmas” will be released on November 7 in the U.S. while “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb” is scheduled for release on December 19. He also voiced a dog character in the British film “Absolutely Anything,” which will be seen in 2015.

Meanwhile, his daughter Zelda Williams has honoured her late father with a new tattoo. She shared with her Instagram followers the photo of her hummingbird tattoo, which she dedicated to her “poppo.”

“Thank you for so beautifully bringing my reminders to life. I’ll always put my hand out to shake with a smile,” she wrote.

She also inked the birth date of Williams on her wrist, “7.21.51.”
