The film industry mourns the loss of actor James Handy, whose final project, "Kickback, V," has been scrapped following his tragic death. Writer and producer Heidi Anderson-Swan revealed the comedy, which was set to feature a group of nerds learning martial arts, was halted due to funding issues and the shocking circumstances surrounding Handy's murder. Handy was found stabbed multiple times in the chest in the front yard of his girlfriend's home in Tarzana, California, allegedly by her son, Michael Gledhill. Gledhill, who has a history of mental health issues, confessed to the stabbing, stating, "I am the son of man, I just killed the man of sin." He is currently held at Van Nuys Jail with bail set at $2 million and faces a potential sentence of 26 years to life in prison. The Los Angeles County District Attorney expressed the need for accountability, emphasizing that Handy deserved to live out his later years in peace. Anderson-Swan expressed her shock and grief over the loss of Handy, who had been a supportive figure in her career.
