The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee Kickstarts Deluxe Blu-ray Edition

The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee mixes traditional documentary with a dash of fantasy. It is narrated by Christopher Lee himself... in the form of an elaborate marionette, voiced by Peter Serafinowicz. The marionette was custom designed and built by Arch Model Studios, who made all of the puppets for Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox, Isle of Dogs and Asteroid City and Tim Burton's Frankenweenie. 

The film combines new, exclusive interviews with filmmakers, including Peter Jackson, John Landis and Joe Dante, friends and family members with animated flights of fantasy from a wide variety of artists including 2000AD's Simon Coleby, award winning stop-motion animator Astrid Goldsmith and the legendary illustrator Dave McKean who directed, scored and animated a whole chapter of the film himself. 

Spanning eight decades and almost three hundred films, Christopher Lee became famous for his iconic performance as Dracula. But he was so much more than just the Hammer Horror roles he is so fondly remembered for. His career took him from uncredited parts in 1950s swashbucklers with Errol Flynn, through famous performances in 007 and Star Wars films, cult hits like The Wicker Man and The Return of Captain Invincible, right up to a lead role in cinema's biggest event - The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Along the way, he worked with everyone from Orson Welles to Mario Bava, Jess Franco, Tim Burton, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. 

Yet his story is so much richer than just his career. Lee was born into Italian aristocracy, with a military career shrouded in secrecy and kept his private life closely guarded. Some of his ventures and adventures seem highly improbable yet, as the film reveals, he often found himself in unexpected situations - he witnessed the last ever death by guillotine, was cousins with 007 creator Ian Fleming, he met Tolkien, performed with the classic Saturday Night Live line-up, was a friend and neighbour of Boris Karloff, he was the oldest person to ever get on the Billboard music charts (with his own Heavy Metal album), was an expert knife thrower, professional opera singer and a Nazi hunter. And somehow, he also managed to appear in almost 300 films of both the highest and lowest quality imaginable. 

The film is finished and producers Jon Spira and Hank Starrs want to share it with you by producing a top quality Blu-Ray with great extra features and a really amazing LIMITED/NUMBERED EDITION COFFIN-SHAPED BOX SET, full of goodies, which will look killer on the shelf of any discerning cineaste. The jewel in the crown of this box-set will be a 3D 'death mask' of Christopher Lee designed and produced by Arch Model Studio exclusively for this set. They also want to host some screenings - both online and in real cinemas - so we can all experience it together and you can get to meet some of the people behind it.

Making this film has been a fascinating journey - producers excavated the British Film Institute archives where they hold Lee's personal collection of scrapbooks detailing his career in his own hand, been given access to personal photos from the family archive, they met and interviewed his closest friends and family from all over the world and we've worked with some incredible artists, puppeteers, animators, musicians and filmmakers to bring his story to the screen in the most cinematic way. Whether you're a fan of Horror, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings or just cinema history in general, we think you'll be delighted by this revealing and eclectic documentary.

Risks and challenges

The film is fully edited and ready to go. This Kickstarter is to fund the final bits of post-production and the production of a fantastic Blu-ray and deluxe collectors edition box set as we're all still committed to physical media. Please note that all illustrations of rewards are designs/prototype images. The final items might differ - we hope they'll actually be better.

Asleep

Domestic Melissa x Sophia, Sophia helps a stressed Melissa.

Sitting in the living room with four stacks of papers from her second and third grade class Melissa huffs bringing her hand to her forehead. Across the room Sophia gets up from the recliner tossing her book onto the seat as she goes over to her girlfriend, her hand outstretched. “Okay, hot stuff. That’s enough grading for a bit.”

“Hon, I have to get these done.” Melissa sighs reaching up to gently squeeze her girlfriend’s hand.

Sophia knows how frazzled the redheads been with the extra workload and how Ava won’t budge on getting an aid for the class. Now she does everything she can to make sure her girlfriend relaxes enough.

“Take a break, baby.” She smiles as Melissa stands pulling her into a hug to rest her forehead on her shoulder with a sigh.

“These kids are kicking my ass and Barb keeps saying we need to keep the extra help for the young’ns but I don’t know how much more I can deal with.”

As Melissa tiredly rambles the brunette rubs her back kissing her hair. “If you’re having a tough time there’s nothing wrong with asking for help. That’s what Ava’s supposed to do as your boss.” She gently pulls away keeping her hands on her arms.

“Go upstairs, get comfy, and I’ll be up in five.”

Letting out a content sigh Melissa nods knowing her girlfriend is right. Tipping her head up she gives her a soft kiss before going upstairs. when the redhead is up in their room Sophia smiles moving around the kitchen knowing exactly how to give her girlfriend a pick me up.

Coming upstairs a few minutes later Sophia smiles seeing her girlfriend cuddled in the mound of blankets on their bed. “Okay, we got camomile tea, a cookie from the shop, and your favorite trash tv.” She smiles setting the threats down on the nightstand.

“You’re good to me, Amore.” Melissa beams tiredly, patting the spot next to her as she sits up.

Moving to her usual spot Sophia sits propped against the headboard with her arm around the redhead, happy to see her relax. As Melissa nurses the tea in her mug her eyes are glued to the grown adults fighting on the tv while her fingers absentmindedly play with Sophia’s.

“So this guy cheated and now they have split custody of the dog?” Sophia hums paying attention to the show a good thirty minutes in. When Melissa doesn’t answer, Sophia looks over seeing her girlfriend completely asleep. Carefully pulling her arm back she fixes the blanket around Melissa and leans over kissing her temple.

Getting up Sophia turns the tv volume down and takes the empty mug with her back downstairs where she eventually sits on the floor, arms propped on the coffee table with a green pen in hand, because according to Melissa red is too harsh, as she works through the stacks with the answer keys.

It’s a simple action, but she loves to help her girlfriend when she can.

Return to Oz (1985, Walter Murch)

02/02/2024

Return to Oz is a 1985 film directed by Walter Murch, an unofficial sequel to the famous film The Wizard of Oz directed by Victor Fleming and produced by MGM in 1939. The film earned an Oscar nomination for best special effects.

Several months have passed since the events of The Wizard of Oz, and Dorothy Gale is melancholy because she continues to do nothing but dream of her magical adventure, and that Uncle Henry and Aunt Emma don't believe her.

Later, Dorothy discovers to her horror the Yellow Brick Path in ruins and, running along it with Billina, finds the Emerald City, Grey, desert, largely destroyed and with petrified inhabitants, including the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion.

The film was produced by Walt Disney Pictures without the collaboration of MGM, or Warner Bros., the studio that currently holds the rights to the 1939 film.

The film's screenplay is based on L. Frank Baum's second and third novels, The Marvelous Land of Oz and Ozma of Oz, both sequels to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

George Lucas, Murch's friend and colle8, had to personally intervene, guaranteeing the studio that he would act as executive producer or even director in case of problems.

The soundtrack of the film was entrusted to the composer and musical writer David Shire, also know for numerous TV soundtracks, theater musical and for many films including Saturday Night Fever. The entire musical sequence from Dorothy's Theme to the Rag March of the final scene is accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra.

The Italian dubbing of the film was directed by Renato Izzo, Gruppo Trenta.

On home video, in Italy, the film was released in VHS format by Walt Disney Home Video in 1986. The DVD was released in 2013 in the Disney Family Classics series.

Writer Joan D. Vinge adapted the film's screenplay into a novel.
