ADAM NIMOY ON CUSHING CGI IN ROGUE ONE 'A GREAT IDEA FOR SPOCK'!

OPINION? I had the pleasure to watch Adam Nimoy's documentary about his father, Leonard last night. 'For The Love Of Spock' is an intelligent, frank and loving tribute and well worth catching, even of you are not a Trek fan.

YESTERDAY, Adam during a promotional interview for a Deep Space Nine documentary, Adam shared his thoughts on Peter Cushing's CGI appearance in 'ROGUE ONE'...and shared what some may think is a controversial opinion on his father's legacy.... I have shared the quote below. I am a Nimoy fan, not particularly for his portrayal of Spock, I liked the man's style and his core values in life. But, this made me think too...Are you thinking?? If so, please share 😉

'Adam Nimoy, the director of the upcoming Deep Space Nine documentary, was asked how he would feel if Leonard Nimoy was digitally added to the upcoming CBS show Star Trek: Discovery, or the fourth film in the rebooted movie franchise. Nimoy said he was more than open to the idea. He said was impressed with how Rogue One brought back Grand Moff Tarkin, and would enjoy seeing his father given the same treatment...

“Yeah I think it’s an interesting idea. I loved what they did in Rogue One. I thought it was pretty clever, and I was blown away by it, frankly. All of the stuff that Peter Cushing was doing was mind-boggling to me. I’m a sucker for that stuff. I think it should certainly be explored, but I’m not the final arbiter as to whether it’s going to happen, but I think it’s a great idea, personally.” 

IT MIGHT NOT make sense to bring Leonard Nimoy’s Spock back in the rebooted film series, since he already received a respectful send-off in Star Trek: Beyond after the actor’s death in 2015. However, there is a case to be made for Discovery, since it takes place while Spock was serving under Commander Pike on the Enterprise. Unfortunately, it might take awhile for that to happen. Television shows typically have smaller budgets than feature films, and Rogue One producer John Knoll said the process of reviving Tarkin on-screen was expensive and time-consuming.

#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY: FRONT OF HOUSE COLLECTABLES

#FRANKENSTEINFRIDAY: On the slab today... a very cool specimen, from our archives. A 1957 UK Front of House still one of seven in a set. Back in the 1970's you could pick up the whole set for under 50 GB pounds. Now? It will set you back maybe 4 to 500 pounds, depending on condition. This still has no cracking, creases or pin marks, so could be worth maybe £100 to £150... it's all down to how much someone is happy to pay, I guess. Just goes to show, Cushing vintage material is still desirable and sort after.... this one however, won't be going anywhere...

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: INCENSE FOR THE DAMNED HIGHLIGHTS

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: And so we come to pretty much the LAST in our series of 'Films That Cushing Probably Wished He Hadn't...' This one doesn't quite make the top of the pile, above Tendre Dracula and The Devil's Men...but it comes VERY close. If you think 'Bloodsuckers' aka aka 'Incense For The Damned' aka 'Doctors Wear Scarlet' aka 'The Pleasure Seekers'... has the look of TWO different films glued together at around half way through...you'd be right. It IS!

DIRECTOR ROBERT HARTFORD-DAVIS, disowned the film, and had his name taken off the credits. It is a mess. The film was credited to Michael Burrowes... another name use by Davis. As for plot, it is very hard to keep track, and some long additional scenes of 'orgies' are played by a completely different group of actors that were added to a 'continental' version of the film.

Although completed in 1969, Bloodsuckers did not get a general cinema release until 1971. Filming took place April-May 1969. Shooting took place in part in Greece and Cyprus. Here we present a short compilation of Peter Cushing scenes from the film... make of it what you will!

IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS that the last scene of the film, was shot later, when the production regrouped to wrap up what they could...but it's hard to think that when the money / budget ran out, with scenes still to film, that the money that was left, didn't run to hiring Peter's hair piece... but it's quite possible...

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY: 50 YEARS THIS MONTH!

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY : FIFTY YEARS AGO this month, this interview with Peter Cushing appeared in the Evening News newspaper. Dr Who and the Daleks were big news following the success of the tv series and the first Dr Who Dalek movie the year before.. Daleks Invasion Earth 2150 AD was released on August 5th 1966 in the UK. The TWO Cushing Dr Who films, still stand as the only big screen outings of the Dalek's adventures. Cushing's Doctor is still regarded as non canon to the BBC tv series.

#GIMMETHEGIFWEDNESDAY: COCKTAIL STICKS VAN HELSING AND STOMPING MONSTERS!

#GIMMETHEGIF For Jim Morrow! Vincent Price solves that annoying problem of, what to do with that annoying cocktail stick after you dispensed with the tasty nibble from the end! Madhouse ( Amicus 1974)

#GIMMETHEGIF: Of all the bits of business and stunt work Peter carried out doing his career....THIS shot from Dracula AD 1972, is the only one that makes me huff! I would excuse it by saying, it was a rehearsal shot they used by mistake in the edit...but they USE that chair! Maybe, they had one chance at shooting it... knowing Hammer for it's tightness with money...they probably only had ONE stunt chair... it seems as though Peter kinda miss-timed that swinging it, before Lee appears... always looks wrong to me..what do you think??

#GIMMETHEGIF: For Jose Ranmone. Peter Cushing and Doug McClure form At The Earth's Core.... at the time of the production of this film at Shepperton studios, many of the large sound stages where fully occupied by the large sets from this film... two of the stages carried a huge screen for the back projection effect. It was probably the one and only time, a film produced by Amicus had it's OWN sets! Peter loved this film and playing his role of Abner Perry... speaking to co star Caroline Munro a short while ago, she said she remembered it being a very happy film to be part of and that Peter and McClure spent hours thinking up new bits of 'business' for their scenes together... looks a little dated now, but my children certainly love it!

#MONSTERMONDAY: CHRISTOPHER MAITLAND IN THE SKULL

#MONSTERMONDAY: Greg Jenkins suggested Peter Cushing's Christopher Maitland from Amicus films, The Skull today...and we thought this was a great suggestion. The Skull is a terrifying story of a collector caught up in having his sights set on the ultimate addition to his collection... THE Skull of the Marquis De Sade.

EVENTUALLY, Maitland wins his prize at an auction, and then it all goes terribly wrong.... very quickly. It's a story of greed, obsession, pride, torment and ultimately destruction. But, I am not quite sure if Cushing's Maitland, is as an innocent victim, as he first appears... what do you think, Victim or Monster?

#TBT : MIRRORS, TEA, LOOSE CHANGE AND DR TERROR!

MIRRORS TEA AND LOOSE CHANGE! A beautiful colour slide of Peter Cushing as Doctor Schreck / Dr Terror from the Amicus classic, Dr Terrors House of Horrors. A role that Peter Cushing played very well and one of my personal favorites. Schreck was a crafty 'soul', who used tarot cards and the hold that superstition has over us, to tell his tales and seal fates. Which kinda got me thinking... superstitions and private rituals? I always stir tea or coffee anti-clockwise never the other way, I NEVER look into a mirror UNLESS there is a light on in that room and when I go out...I have to have the SAME amount of loose change in each of my two coat pockets! Crazy? Maybe.

DO YOU have any kind of rituals, things you HAVE to do? Over at our Peter Cushing Appreciation society Facebook Fan Page, we opened the thread of this post and asked everyone to tell us if they also have any superstitious quirks or rituals! HERE are a few from those who spilled the beans and tempted fate, by telling us!

NEWS: ROGUE ONE BLU RAY CONTENTS REVEALED AND TRAILER! And the line up of the contents sound good too! Can't wait to own this one. What do YOU think of the contents???

THE STAR WARS stand-alone has earned more than $1 billion at the box office. Disney has revealed that Rogue One will hit Digital HD on March 24 and Blu-ray on April 4th. There are a very large helping of bonus features, but a few of the more intriguing ones include "Epilogue: The Story Continues," which is billed as the cast and crew looking forward to the Star Wars tales to come, and "Rogue Connections," which looks at the film's Easter eggs.

AS WE HOPED, there also is a featurette examining the visual effects that went into resurrecting Peter Cushing's Grand Moff Tarkin and brought back a young Princess Leia (The late Carrie Fisher). Rogue One earned more than $1 billion worldwide at the box office, including $528.8 million in the U.S. The second Star Wars stand-alone movie, about a young Han Solo, will be released in May 2018.
