It was Jon Voight, Anton’s formerCourt of Consciencecostar, who gave the Yelchins the idea after they admitted they didn’t “see any reason to live” after their son’s death, they told theTimes.
“He said, ‘Why? You have to live. Make a documentary and keep his memory alive,'” Viktor told the publication.
