The Wicker Man : Very sad news to report

Very sad news to report

Christopher Lee (Lord Summerisle) has passed away

Re: Very sad news to report

Sad news indeed, he was an underrated actor, a pompous old goat and a great man. I shall be watching The Wicker Man tonight in tribute to him, along with one of his great Hammer movies (haven't decided which one yet). RIP Sir Christopher Lee.

Re: Very sad news to report

Upon hearing of his passing, I came immediately to this board to offer my condolences because I know it's his favourite role. Rest in Peace Mr. Lee, you shall be missed.

I hope he was a Christian and not a pagan like in this movie. Because that will determine where he now is and will remain.

If he was a Christian in real-life, then good for him, and he must be having a great time in Heaven right now.

Whatever floats your boat Navaros, lol...

Christopher Lee was not an under rated actor. He worked until his last day. He was in the LOTR movies and The Hobbit movies. Plus he was in about ~250 movies! Great actor who will be missed.

Yes as saruman, he wanted to play Gandalf. He was consistently denied the parts he wanted, found himself typecast as villains and could never fully escape the horror genre. He believed he could have been a conventional leading man but was never given the opportunity. I know he appeared in a lot of films, but rarely in roles that tested him. If he had been given the chances his ability deserved he could have had a far more varied career.

Dear goodness you're a fruitcake.

Lee was apparently an Anglo-Catholic.

Aubrey Morris, who played the creepy gardener, has also just died. :(
