gcreptile 10,979 Posted September 24, 2015 Terry Gilliam, who has just survived a recent death rumour himself, is still trying to get his Don Quijiote project made. But after several decades in the making, production of the movie has to be delayed again because no insurance company wants to take the risk of insuring 75-year old pancreatic cancer patient John Hurt: http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Terry-Gilliam-Don-Quixote-Has-Been-Delayed-Again-Course-84087.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,589 Posted October 5, 2015 John Hurt has agreed to record 12 War Doctor stories for Big Finish. I don't know if these are already in the can and they are announcing the release or whether they are going to start making them now. OK audio recording is not as demanding as TV but he is still active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,979 Posted October 14, 2015 Pancreatic cancer is so dangerous because it's hard to catch early. But in Hurt's case they did. However, it's also extremely deadly when it returns, in fact, so deadly that one might still get decent odds on his death simply by speculating on a return of the cancer.

msc 18,480 Posted October 14, 2015 He must have had the same type of cancer as Wilko Johnson and Steve Jobs. Ruth Ginsburg might be a better choice there, given Steve Jobs, you know, died from cancer. If true, this is brilliant news. There will be lots more options for hits next year, so better we keep one of the all time greats who can still go that little bit longer, in my view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get him back on your 2017 longlists lads. Agreed he should have attention paid to him by DPers but to be fair he left the stage on doctor's advice. He didn't rush to hospital holding his gut. That said, I gave him two years mad when original news broke so if 2017 isn't his year the first half of 2018 is. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted July 1, 2016 I think there's a decent chance that the crew members of the starship Nostromo of Alien die in the same order as in the movie. Funny trivia: While the crew actors are all still alive, the man inside the Alien and the computer voice are already dead. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
