RIP

[The Saint 007]

Very sad news.

A great actor, and one of my favourite Bond villains. RIP Christopher Lee.

[Kristatos]

Very sad to lose both him and Ron Moody on the same day.

RIP LEGEND.

I was hoping he would stay a little longer in case if there's more Middle Earth stories to be adapted on-screen.

He was one of my favorite actors. He was so full of life I hoped he'd be over 100 when he died

Sad news indeed. He made Scaramanga, one of my last favourite literary Bond villains, into one of the best Bond film villains.

PeterJackson seemed pretty adamant that there would be no more Middle-earth films due to the rights situation. That line in The Hobbit where Gandalf mentions the two blue wizards and adds "I can never remember their names" was an in-joke, because he wasn't allowed to mention the names for copyright reasons.

He had such amazing talent. Underrated for most of his career luckily George Lucas and Peter Jackson could see the worth of the man. Not to undercut his contribution to 007, however he had a unimaginable impact on the movie industry as a whole.

I'm glad Sir Chris returned in The Hobbit.

I read that Lee appeared in more movie than any other actor ever.
R.I.P. Legend
He made a great Scaramanga.

There are Middle Earth games that are original stories, such as The Lord of the Rings: War In The North and Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor. Pete could always go to those although he doesn't have to direct the films, and he said he might return to Middle-Earth someday.

RIP Sir Christopher. Bond villain, Dracula, Rochefort, Saruman, Count Dooku - he did it all! Fleming's cousin too!

The Wicker Man (1973) was a personal favourite for him I think. Britt Ekland from TMWTGG was in this film as well.

I don't know all the ins and outs, but I assume that game rights are handled separately from movie rights. Besides, I'm not sure I'd want to see a Middle-earth movie that wasn't based on Tolkien.

I thought it was on one of the book the part about not remembering the other wizards names

I am going by what Peter Jackson said on the DVD commentary.

[Omega]

Which movie? I'd like to listen to his commentary if he has something interesting to say
