Christopher Lee Talks Hobbit

Collecting The Precious – Vanderstelt Studios Update


And last but not least, some sad news:

Legendary sword master, Bob Anderson, dies

It's not surprising - he was 89 already - but it still makes me sad. Bob Anderson is someone I would have loved to meet/seen at a convention panel. I've always loved sword fights - realistically choreographed ones as in LotR, not the cr*p they had in Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief for example - and he has worked on so many projects! It wasn't meant to be. But this reminds me I still need to get Reclaiming the Blade... Goodbye, Mr. Anderson, and thank you for all the enjoyment you've given us over the long years of your career.

It is sad about Bob Anderson, he's been involved in so many films and coached many actors, not least in LOTR. A real loss to the movie making world.

Interesting interview with Christopher Lee. I agree with what he said about the state of the world, although it was a little depressing, but then it is with all the violence and hatred. I often think, why can't people live in peace...?

I enjoyed hearing about what hes been doing and I'm glad he's still working at the grand age of 89!

Thank you for the links :-)

It certainly is.

Yeah, human nature... not the prettiest thing. :/

Sir Christopher certainly still looks pretty good for 89!

My pleasure. :)
