WOW247: "When you hear the man’s name spoken aloud, the films that instantly spring to mind are likely to be Dracula and other iconic Hammer Horror pictures – or Star Wars and Lord Of The Rings if you’re under 30.
"But when I think of Christopher Lee, the film that immediately springs to mind for me is The Wicker Man; that astonishing classic of ’70s British cinema."
Let’s count down five great films based on folklore stories from a variety of regions of the world.
EB: One of his trademark series of prints feature the evolution of various pop culture icons and characters in art form, which feature the stages of a particular actor or character’s career and how they looked at a certain period of time.
His latest creations feature the evolutions of Harrison Ford, Sam Jackson, Alan Rickman, and RDJ, which you can see below amongst a few other choice selections.
From Cinelinx:
Hollywood is remake crazy these days, so Cinelinx is taking a look at what makes a good remake and what makes a bad one. We'll be examining examples of some cinematic remakes; some that work and some that don’t. In the second in our series articles, we look at a remake that definitely did NOT work...The Wicker Man (2006)!
Never saw this, and having read this article, incredibly glad I didn't waste the time.
You have to see it. It has one of the nuttiest Nicholas Cage crazed performances for the ages.. and a bear knocking out a woman. Bat chit insane stuff.
It's almost an entirely different film.
(Incidentally if you get a chance listen to the sountrack to the original, it is the most ridiculously twisted thing.)
He'll always be Saruman to me. RIP
