Paul Gleason's last movie?

Was this the last movie for Paul Gleason? He died in 2006. I personally remember him mostly from his role as the evil teacher in "The Breakfast Club," and also from "Die Hard."

On his IMDB page, it says he had been working on one other movie after this, but it's still in "post-production." I wonder if his death caused enough problems with the filming of that movie to prevent it from being completed. Maybe his scene calling his fellow cops "candy asses" was his last moment onscreen... what a way to go!

Actually according to IMDB "The Book of Caleb " from 2008 was his last actual acting role before he died and there is one other movie called "The Passing" that wasnt released until 2011 that has him in it . I wondered how can they say a movie from 2008 was his last acting role when a movie released 3 years later has him in it.

I'm guessing that for some reason the 2011 movie was filmed before the 2008 movie and then shelved for years well after his death.
