He's not dead, he just hopped on Falcor and went back to fantasia.

Great director. His director's cut of Troy is incredible. It's like a completely different movie than the theatrical cut.

[drb999]

I wonder what his Batman versus Superman movie would’ve been like. RIP

Rest in peace, Wolfgang

The script for that, and I think most failed attempts at Bats and Supes movies, leaked a long time ago.

Very sorry to hear this. So many great contributions to the industry, all with his masterful slant.

Is it really? Never seen it. So the director's cut of Troy is actually good? May have to check it out.

RIP to a talented director.

It's great. I picked it up in a 3 pack with 300 and Alexander a few years ago. It was way better than the theatrical version.

That would be fantastic....that, and a 4K remaster of the sublime "Enemy Mine" would make me very happy.

A great director I loved his 2006 version of Poseidon.

RIP

Great director! In the Line of Fire is an all-time great thriller. Das Boot is legendary. Perfect Storm is such a great thrill ride. Even junk like Poseidon showed such a command of spectacle.
