Saw that. I enjoyed his burly style.

Allen Daviau has also died, he was a 5 time Oscar nominated cinematographer who worked with Spielberg on ET, Empire of the Sun and The Colour Purple among others. He was 77 and died from complications from Coronavirus.

Makes me sad to think that we’ll most likely lose some very iconic actors over the next 5-10 years. Pacino, Hoffman, De Niro, Nicholson, Eastwood are all in their 80’s or very close to.

... Michael Caine, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Patrick Stewart all in their 80s... the list goes on.

Yeah heard the sad news yesterday. Such an amazing and underrated actor. One of those supporting role masters.

Don’t really know where to post this this as there doesn’t seem to be a dedicated Dio thread outside of the Remembering Ronnie thread but this is pretty cool.

Great news.

I do think I prefer not to know about these things in advance... but this is so far out I will have forgotten by the time the film is released! I remember watching the otherwise awful This is the End back in 2013 and it had War Pigs in the middle of the film and The End of the Beginning over the closing credits before "13" was released... that perked me up from my slumber!

Ken Osmond sailed off to the afterlife, as did Fred Willard.

I always wanted Wally to beat the shit out of Eddie just one time. Ken played that character perfectly.

I never as much into Fred Willard, but he has certainly been a TV staple for many years.

Cheers, and RIP gentlemen!

Fred Willard was a such a great actor...He absolutely shined on Modern Family. I am so happy that they got the chance to him a proper send off on the show too...that episode has a whole new meaning and depth now.

Fred Willard's been a great actor. Loved him in Best of Show.

Oooo! A Lemmy film is in the works!

Cool!

Unless they cast Tom Cruise as Lemmy.

[Charger]

Johnny Depp for the win!!!

He is that talented that he could pull Lemmy off I think...

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

I trust you two are drunk!

According to the article it will cover his earlier years, maybe upto about 1980, so no oldies! Someone on the Planet Rock FB page suggested in jest Tom Hardy... but to be honest he wouldn't be a bad choice. I suspect they may go for a new face.

[Charger]

Tom Hardy is too much of a pretty boy to pull off Lemmy.

A new face might be a way to go.

Truth be told though I am not a big fan of biopics anyways. Either they go too crazy in bending the truth and creating crazy stuff or they go too clean.
