Truly unbelievable...these cretins need to get a life.
How did I miss that all those people are dead? Is it an epidemic? RIP everyone.
Complete losers!
He's looking good as well
Apologies if it has been posted before
Well, I always think he looks good, but especially so here.
Thanks for posting!
Dalton later made The Doctor and the Devils (a horror film based on the Burke and Hare events) with veteran Hammer director Freddie Francis.
Very interesting. I can picture Dalton in some early '70's horror. Many actors of his generation at the time were getting young leading roles in Hammer and Amicus horror films: Ian Ogilvy, Anthony Higgins, Dennis Waterman, Christopher Neame, etc. I speculate had Dalton not started off with Lion in Winter, Wuthering Heights, etc would he have been cast in a Hammer horror back then?
It's a pity Dario Argento didn't make his version of Frankenstein anyway. I love the various Frankenstein films of that era. I'd bet it would have been pretty cool.
I never did see OPERA. In fact I still want to see his version of DRACULA, as well as his 1998 remake of PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. I've heard both his Dracula and Phantom films were sub standard, but I have a feeling I might like them anyway. SUSPIRIA was probably my favorite of his movies. Damn, Argento and Dalton together might have been quite the combination.
How the mighty have fallen!
Dalton would have been great in the lead role in FOUR FLIES ON GREY VELVET. As much as I like that film, I'll admit that Michael Brandon (a last-minute replacement for Michael York) gives a weak performance.
I've heard the Dracula film was pretty bad. I'm a huge fan of the character, and like Bond am pretty picky on what's done with it.
I do give Dracula more elbow room for variety, than something like Superman, which I feel should be as set in stone in characteristics and appearance as Santa Claus.
From what I've seen I like Thomas Kretschmann's visual look as The Count: the dark clothes, haircut, clean shaven as opposed to mustached, etc. I imagine I'll gripe about the CGI, though. Eventually I'll see it, if I come across a copy.
Timothy Dalton!
Still, and probably always, the best 007.
A quick search of other Bond titles, reveals some really generic covers. Could have made more an effort, there!
