- bdcravens 8mo agoHe's one of those actors that if you told me he was dead, I wouldn't have been surprised, but then you go to the theater and in some random role, there he is.
- hinkley 8mo agoIt really messes with me though when someone dies before their last film came out. I watched that Batman movie with a knot in my stomach the whole time. “He’s so good. But he’s gone. WTF.” I don’t recall who now but there was some actor whose last film came out more than a year after he died, and that felt messed up and I can’t articulate why.
- FreakLegion 8mo agoBrandon Lee and Paul Walker come to mind. A year delay or more isn't rare, I don't think.
- bdcravens 8mo agoRiver Phoenix had a role (Dark Blood) that he OD'd while filming, and it was put on hold, but then eventually finished and released 19 years later.
- hinkley 8mo agoEven without incident, many movies with heavy special effects can take up to a year to finish the final draft. I kinda suspect it's by design. Get the studio hooked and ask for more money to increase the production values to match the acting.
- Bender 8mo agoSpeaking of Brandon, some time watch Brandon speaking about The Crow. I watched that on a special edition of the DVD and I had to watch it twice. It was as if he knew something really bad was about to happen and he was rationalizing and coping with it. I can't watch any of the crow movies that came out after his death. I don't know if that monologue is on the internet anywhere.
- bdcravens 8mo agoPaul Walker is probably the most recent one to fall into that category. I believe his character will be in the next Fast and the Furious movie, but it'll be a CGI role (with family members standing in as the body/face they CG-enhance)
