Heard this news earlier, yes - sad. I'd toss in "The Hitcher", too. A story I read said he'd often hold up production, not for great lengths of time, but always a few minutes, because he'd be with fans signing autog's and taking pictures.
And Hollywierd missed a real opportunity to make a movie focused on the Replicants fighting off the shoulder of Orion and elsewhere. How cool would that have been. Just like there should have been a Colonial marine focused spinoff in Aliens.
Blade Runner and Ladyhawk were two of my favorites. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorites as well.

DeleteWe enjoyed his work in "Blind Fury."
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize just how much he'd been in until I visited IMDB to double check that I got the title correct.
Yeah, a long career.

ReplyDeleteYeah, for supposedly creative people they lack imaginations.
