Brittany Murphy's final film will be released this summer.

The actress -- who died from cardiac arrest in December at age 32 -- filmed psychological horror thriller Abandoned last June.

Film distribution company Anchor Bay Entertainment purchased the rights to the film, which co-stars Dean Cain and Mimi Rogers.

"Brittany will be deeply missed by everyone who worked on Abandoned. The film is a taut thriller which portrays Brittany's character as smart and tough -- and that's how we all want to remember her," producers Jeffrey Schenck and Barry Barnholtz said in a joint statement to Reuters Friday.

Anchor Bay Entertainment president Bill Clark said it was an "honor and bittersweet" to release the movie.

A coroner ruled Murphy's death accidental as a result of pneumonia, anemia and multiple drug intoxication.

    What is wrong with you people even in death one can not get peace. Peace from all the dismantling of her name and her job. She was going through some things what if that was your family member and you heard or read what you just wrote about her. Your heart would drop, you wouldn't know what to say and all respect for her so called fans would go right out the window. God made his choice of who he was taking that day and it just so happen to be her. She probably did not know because she was sick that her meds were being mixed. But did anyone around her say, those are the ones you should be attacking the ones who said they had her back, but apparently didn't. Signs People Signs sickness has signs many of them as a nursing student we see them all the time. And questioning them is your first step, she was probably so far gone that she couldn't, but somebody SOMEBODY COULD HAVE and WHY DID THEY NOT IS THE REAL QUESTION TO ASK YOURSELF. So really stop bashing her and start bashing the people around her who said they knew her so well. But I guess not well enough.
