See the trailer for one of Robin Williams’s last films

When Robin Williams passed away in August, he still had four new films he had starred in, just waiting for audiences to see. One of those films, Boulevard, has already made its debut at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival. His remaining three films will be released over the next few months, including A Merry Friggin’ Christmas, whose trailer you can watch above.

The film stars Williams alongside Joel McHale, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Lauren Graham, and Oliver Platt. McHale plays the son Williams’s character doesn’t have a good relationship with, something that’s put to the test when the two have to take a holiday road trip together. All in all, it should make for some Christmas-themed comedy. It will be released in theaters November 7.

Williams also has a role in the latest Night at the Museum film, out Dec. 16, and the animated film Absolutely Anything, out next year.
