James Van Der Beek has left a chilling impact in one of his final screen performances before his death.
Lionsgate recently released a trailer for the upcoming thriller drama The Gates on Wednesday, February 18. The story is based on three college students, played by Mason Gooding, Algee Smith, and Keith Powers, who happened to witness a murder committed by Van Der Beek’s twisted pastor.
As shown in the trailer, it happened when the college boys, Derek, Kevin, and Tyon, unknowingly drove into a hostile, gated neighborhood in the deep night.
As per the official synopsis, Derek, Kevin, and Tyon are on a “road trip gone wrong, as the three young men take an ill-advised shortcut through a remote gated community, where they find themselves trapped behind the walls after witnessing a murder.”
“Over the course of the night, they find themselves blamed, hunted, and fractured by their own differing belief systems, while the perpetrator (Van Der Beek) emerges as the cunning patriarch that holds the entire community under his influence.”
The trailer came out a week after Van Der Beek’s death on February 11. The Dawson Creek star’s wife, Kimberly, announced the news of his death via social media.
The Gates hits the theaters on March 13.
