April 29, 1923 – November 27, 2010
On the night of November 27, 2010, at 87, Irvin Kershner died.
He directed, amongst some other cult classics flicks 2 of my favorite flicks, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and RoboCop 2.
Rest in Piece.
Everbody's dying lately :(
Here's a quote from Kershner:
"Of all the younger guys around, all the hot-shots, why me?" To which George Lucas replied,
"Well, because you know everything a Hollywood director is supposed to know, but you're not Hollywood."
And another one for the road, a great quote from this visionary director:
""I like to fill up the frame with the characters' faces. There's nothing more interesting than the landscape of the human face."
Such depressive times...
