seltsamer Zufall - da ich mich gerade mit Joseph Conrad beschäftige, bin ich gestern zufällig auf [url=https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_Darkness_(Film)]Heart of Darkness[/url] von 1993 gestolpert.

Bei welcher Episode hat er denn noch Regie geführt? Mir ist nur "Paris, October 1916" bekannt.

Und niemand verliert ein Wort über George W. Bush sen.!?

Zitat von Kayley:

Und niemand verliert ein Wort über George W. Bush sen.!?

War der prominent?

Wir Deutschen haben die Wiedervereinigung unseres Landes zu einem guten Teil George Bush zu verdanken. Er war damals der einzige Staats- oder Regierungschef der vier Siegermächte, der sich von Anfang an dafür ausgesprochen hatte. Das sollte man erwähnen.

Falscher Thread und dennoch Anlass zur Trauer:

Liebes-Aus bei Helene Fischer und Florian Silbereisen

Mag beide und finde die Trennung einfach schade. Alles Gute für die Zukunft!

Andy Vajna, Producer of 'Rambo' Films, Dies at 74
In addition to the Stallone action films, he also produced Madonna's 'Evita,' among many others.
Hungary's National Film Fund says that Hungarian-American film producer Andy Vajna has died. He was 74.
Vajna, who produced several Rambo films starring Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger's Total Recall and a number of Terminator films, as well as Madonna's Evita, among many others, died Sunday at his Budapest home after a long illness.
Vajna was also owner of the TV2 Group, a Hungarian broadcaster which owns several television channels.
The producer was born in Budapest on Aug. 1, 1944, and escaped Hungary's communist regime in 1956.
Since 2011, Vajna had been a commissioner in Prime Minister Viktor Orban's government, in charge of developing Hungary's film industry.
Hungarian films have won several top prizes at recent international festivals. In 2016, Son of Saul, financed mostly by Hungary's National Film Fund, won the Oscar for best foreign language film. On Sunday, Arnold Schwarzenegger remembered Vajna on Twitter: "Andy Vajna was a dear friend and a revolutionary force in Hollywood. He proved that you don’t need studios to make huge movies like Terminator 2 or Total Recall. He had a huge heart, and he was one of the most generous guys around. I’ll miss him. My thoughts are with his family."

Nick Redman, Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker, award-winning soundtrack producer and co-founder of the Twilight Time video label, died Thursday afternoon, Jan. 17, at a Santa Monica Hospital, after a two-year battle with cancer. He was 63.
He was nominated for an Academy Award as producer of the 1996 documentary “The Wild Bunch: An Album in Montage,” a look back at Sam Peckinpah’s controversial film. He also produced and directed the 1998 “A Turning of the Earth: John Ford, John Wayne and The Searchers,” about the making of the Western classic, a prizewinner at multiple film festivals.
In 2007 he produced and directed the feature documentary “Becoming John Ford,” which debuted at the Venice International Film Festival and detailed the long and complex relationship between the famous director and 20th Century-Fox studio chief Darryl F. Zanuck.
He made numerous other short films including profiles of actress Stella Stevens and film composers Basil Poledouris and Jerry Fielding.
In 2011, Redman co-founded the independent home-video label Twilight Time, which has released hundreds of classic films on DVD and Blu-Ray. His was a familiar voice for his dozens of well-informed commentary tracks, both for Twilight Time and other labels.
As a consultant to the Fox Music Group since 1993, he supervised one of Hollywood’s first and most comprehensive film-music restoration programs, restoring hundreds of 20th Century-Fox film and television scores. In 1994, The Film Music Society recognized him with its Film Music Preservation Award for his pioneering work at Fox.
Prior to his association with Fox, he spent three years as projects director for Culver City-based Bay Cities Records.
Redman produced several hundred albums featuring the music of dozens of major Hollywood composers including Alfred Newman, Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Alex North, Hans Zimmer, James Horner, Michael Kamen and many others. He particularly championed the work of Lalo Schifrin and Jerry Fielding, premiering on disc such film-score classics as Schifrin’s original “Dirty Harry” and Fielding’s complete “The Wild Bunch.”
He earned gold-certification plaques for his production of the “Star Wars Trilogy” box for Arista Records in 1996, and “Star Wars: A New Hope” for RCA Victor in 1997.
A longtime member of BAFTA, he conducted many video interviews for its Heritage Archive including those of actors Malcolm McDowell, Sir Ben Kingsley, Ian McShane, Tilda Swinton, Millicent Martin, director Michael Apted and producer Kevin Brownlow. A respected film historian, he also wrote for “DGA Magazine” and “Film Score Monthly.”
Redman was born in Wimbledon, South West London, in 1955. He worked for the U.K. Ministry of Defense in the early 1970s, studied drama at Kingston College and, as he often said, “played Neanderthal thugs” on British television series. He became an assistant producer on various projects, worked at the BBC and moved to the U.S. in 1988.
Survivors include his wife, writer Julie Kirgo of Santa Monica; his daughter Rebecca Redman of Louisville, Ky.; a brother, Jonathan Redman of England; and stepchildren Anna Kaufman and Daniel Kaufman. A memorial service has not yet been scheduled.
