    This dude made movies so good.

    Tombstone Batman Top gun The saint Prince of Egypt Red planet

    Shame his career was cut short. I assume he lost his speech because God needed it after watching Prince of Egypt.

          It is a cinematic triumph. Peter Cushing himself called it his greatest role! Well, he might have said that.

          Fun fact that I actually just learned today. The cast made from Mr Cushing’s face for his scene in Top Secret was used by the SFX wizards working on Rogue One to digitally recreate the actor for the movie.

          Imagine that, a casting for a prosthetic made over 40 years ago was used to recreate the image of Peter Cushing so that he could appear as Grand Moff Tarkin again.

          Have to admit, that rather stunned me when I read it.

            They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

            In the end it was really creepy to have a dead person have so much screen time in a movie.
