“Grab your popcorn, extra butter, and a whole lot of napkins, I’m sure I won’t be the only one sobbing."

Sophie stated how “proud and thankful” she was that this particular film “got to be his last” one. She shared how “proud” he was and opened up about how much she couldn’t wait for his fans to see it.

“Grab your popcorn, extra butter, and a whole lot of napkins, I’m sure I won’t be the only one sobbing … and thank you to everyone who worked on this movie for making this dream possible.”

Sophie is currently in Malawi, Africa doing mission work. She previously opened a school there in her father's name to honor him.

Her brother works as a professional wrestler and goes by the stage name Jungle Boy. Ahead of the movie’s premiere, Jack, 22, also paid tribute to his late father by sharing a video and photos of himself sitting on the top of the film's billboard on Sunset Boulevard.

In the film, Luke played the role of real actor Wayne Maunder, who portrayed the character of Scotty Lancer on a CBS Western TV show called Lancer. One of the stars who also appear in the movie is Leonardo DiCaprio.
