Christopher Lee tribute in BOFA EE? Can't Post

Do you think we will see a tribute to this legend in the EE, or this sad news came too late into production? Frown

At the very least [In reply to] Can't Post

He'll get a mention in the commentary, if it hasn't already been recorded. They'll certainly discuss Andrew Lesnie.

I hope they include a tribute for any and all LOTR/Hobbit actors/cast who have passed away in recent months. Honestly, if they don't have time for anything else, I think the least they could do would be an "In memoriam" slide show of pictures of the people while "The Last Goodbye" plays in the background. That would be perfect and very touching, IMO.Evil

Lord I give you everything, Anything you want from me
Take my past and my future I lay it at your feet
Yeah, I'm after your heart, you've stolen mine
I give you my all 'cause you gave up your life
I'm not who I was simply because, Oh, you set me free

And you change me from what I used to be
Opened my eyes, now I can see
You're making this life so beautiful
So beautiful

OMG, you just reminded me how sad this is. I just realized we lost both Lee and Lesnie in the same year.

It's 'Sir Christopher' [In reply to] Can't Post

'Sir Ian', 'Sir Thomas' and so on – never 'Sir [the surname]'.

I'm sure they will if they can.... [In reply to] Can't Post

There are tributes to individuals on the disks of the previous films, some amounting to a special mention in the credits some more substantial - I'm thinking particularly of the section on Cameron Duncan on the Return of the King EE. This seems to be something Peter Jackson makes a point of doing so I'm sure he wouldn't deliberately overlook Andrew Lesnie or Christopher Lee. But we don't know how deep into production the disks are - if it isn't already too late, then I'm sure they will add something.

Was a date already announced for the release of this last EE? [In reply to] Can't Post

It has been a while since I visited these Boards, I probably missed all the announcements...! Blush

I don't think there has been an official announcement. If there has, then I've missed it too!

Thanks for the warm welcome, and... [In reply to] Can't Post

... let's still wait patiently then...! *sigh*

At least this may give them yet the possibility to include something about both Andrew Lesnie and Sir Christopher... I'm prepared to wait a little longer if that's the case...

Lovely – thank you [In reply to] Can't Post

I like some of the comments below PJ's tribute, too.

I think I remember Christopher Lee talking about how important his appearance in the ME films was for him. I don't think this was just a 'promotional' statement – LotR genuinely meant a lot to him, and from memory I believe he read the books every year. (Not sure about the Hobbit.)

It is a wonder to me that he was not knighted sooner, given his service to our country during the Second World War, as well as his many years of screen work (and given how readily some people, who do not even appear to contribute a great deal to anything, appear to be honoured these days).
