msc 18,477 Posted April 26, 2017 Well, then, I guess that Inquirer-esque story - I forget the site - about him being gravely ill with cancer last summer was true! Did any of us take notice of it for our deadpool teams? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,976 Posted April 26, 2017 Yes, I posted that rumour and it might have been in 2015 already because I think I checked if anybody picked him in the DDP and I seem to remember that someone did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,477 Posted April 26, 2017 Its amusing in a way. Actual news story - however dubious - about Demme, ignored. Val Kilmer looks rough, dozens of DDP teams waste a pick. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Mad Hatter 1,092 Posted April 26, 2017 One of Hollywood greatest directors sad he never made something as good as Philadelphia or silence of the lambs since the 90s. Also on research Ted Demme was Jonathan's nephew. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also on research Ted Demme was Jonathan's nephew. He was an absolute genius director. Silence of the lamb's and Philadelphia are some of the best films of the 1990s.
