RIP Christopher Lee
« am: 11. Jun 2015, 14:47 »
at the 7th of June Sir Christopher Lee has passed away at the Age of 93 :(

i thought he wouldn't die before he was 100...

It was at the Survivor Series that the dark path of the Undertaker was born. It seems like an eternity ago that the demons of hell passed judgement on the mortal world and unleashed a creature of the night so powerful that the mention of it's very name sends shivers down to the spines of who oppose him

The Battle of the five armies (and Hobbit trilogy) was his last big project in the film industry ... so iconic.

His christmas messages were always very inspirative. He loved fans and fans loved him.

I am sure, that his spirit will find its way to the Valinor.

just found this Facebook

shared from here

a quote from there
"Remembering Sir Christopher Lee - On meeting Professor Tolkien (Taken from our May 12th 2001 interview at Cannes):

Very little. I was up in Oxford meeting some friends, and we were in the Randolph Hotel. And someone said, "What are you doing here, this is all rather correct and proper. Lets go to a pub." This was a way long time ago. Forty-five plus years ago. And we went to this pub, it's now world famous, but I can't remember the name of it. I can't honestly remember. We were sitting there talking and drinking beer or something, and someone said, "Oh, look who walked in," it was Professor Tolkien and I nearly fell off my chair. I didn't even know he was alive. He was a benign looking man, smoking a pipe, walking in... an English countryman with earth under his feet. And he was a genius, a man of incredible intellectual knowledge. And he knew somebody in our group. He (the man in the group) said, "Oh Professor, Professor," and he came over. And each one of us, well I knelt of course, each one of us said, "How do you do?" And I just said "Ho... How... How..." I just couldn't belive it. But I'll never forget it."

First thing i saw when i woke up this morning. talk about a bad way to start the day.  :(

Not only was he a phenomenal actor (who met Professor Tolkien), he was a SAS agent during WWII, related to the renowned Frankish emperor Charlemagne ("and we can prove it", he said) and a metal god (crowned by none other than Tony Iommi himself)

Saruman has always been one of my favorite participants in the Hobbit and Lotr, as Christopher Lee was also one of my favorite actors. I never believed he would pass away so soon after the last Hobbit movie  :( .
RIP Christopher Lee  :( .

As someone already wrote, the real word to define the incredible Christopher Lee and all of his amazing work about LOTR and The Hobbit (the only one I could fully experienced and have knowledge of) is 'Iconic'.
He was indeed an icon of this remarkable trilogy and, probably, the most significant and relatable one, as I felt the very fist time I saw the Fellowship of the Ring.




I am sure, that his spirit will find its way to the Valinor.

It surely will.

He was my favourite actor in the films and probably one of the best all times. It's really sad to lose such a great actor...
RIP Christopher Lee :(

Ian McKellen:
Zitat
Christopher Lee, CBE, CStJ (1922-2015)

When I arrived in New Zealand to start filming as Gandalf, in the first week of the 21st Century, Peter Jackson held a dinner for some of the cast. I was happily next to Christopher Lee who I had known of throughout my actor-admiring life. He'd been cast as the white wizard Saruman but his opening line to me was: "I've always thought I should play Gandalf. I read 'Lord of the Rings' every year - sometimes twice."

He then treated me to a snatch of the black speech of Mordor and I felt inadequate. Not that that was Chris's intention: he was 78 and well practised in the art of gentlemanly rectitude. The epitome of "tall, dark and handsome" kept any inner demons for his acting Dracula, Frankenstein's monster and, once, as Sherlock Holmes.

It's what made his Saruman so effective. With his long beard and white robes, he had the air of a stern yet benign Pope that belied his ambition to rule Middle-earth, with cruelty and spite.

Between our facing-off on the set, he could easily be persuaded to reminisce. After all there were over 200 films on his CV and a couple of singing albums. His earliest intention was to be an opera bass., Touchingly he was a little nervous at the outset. "Peter made me do my first speech 10 times!!" I told him not to worry as the previous day I'd had to repeat a scene 27 times. His dark eyes widened and glinted but he didn't complain again.

Peter was tickled to have his Hammer Horror hero as the villain and devised a spectacular death to acknowledge his vampiric past - falling onto a spike which pierced his dastardly heart. Chris didn't much approve and I think the episode can only be seen in the extended Director's Cut.

An odd pity that he didn't work in the theatre, nor direct a film, like his idol Laurence Olivier who had Chris as a spear-carrier in his film of 'Hamlet.' But he was justly proud of the span and success of his career in movies and when knighted must, like all of us, have been pleased to share a title with Sir Larry.

The last time Saruman and Gandalf filmed together was 'round a table in Rivendell but while Galadriel, Elrond and I were in the Wellington studio, Sir Christopher's interjections were filmed in London some months later. You can't tell. In movies, all is not as it seems.

Yet when he joined the "Star Wars" cast he said he did all his own stunts without benefit of a stand-in. That certainly wasn't true of his gravity-defying fight with Gandalf. I suspect he just wanted to declare he was in old age fit for purpose. He needn't have worried. His acting prowess never declined. -- Ian McKellen, June 2015

A sad time for any film enthusiast indeed. The world lost a great charismatic gentleman, thus truly transforming him into a legend.

I will miss his christmas messages.
