HuffPost
The late "Dawson's Creek" actor's first posthumous role will thrill you.
Moviegoers can now catch a glimpse of James Van Der Beek’s performance in “The Gates,” one of his final big-screen projects, via a new trailer.
Directed by John Burr, “The Gates” follows college pals Derek, Kevin and Tyon (played by Mason Gooding, Algee Smith and Keith Powers, respectively) who embark on a road trip, only to find themselves witnessing a murder after they attempt to take a shortcut through a gated community.
Van Der Beek portrays Jacob, a local pastor with direct ties to the crime but whose sanctified status within the community prevents him from being eyed as a suspect.
Watch the trailer for “The Gates” below.
“The Gates” is set to hit theaters March 13. The film’s trailer was unveiled Wednesday, exactly one week after Van Der Beek died of colorectal cancer at age 48.
