#LUCASFILM COULD RELEASE EXTENDED VERSION OF #ROGUEONE WITH EXTRA #VADER #TARKIN FOOTAGE


NEWS: #Lucasfilm could release an extended version of Star Wars Rogue One! A picture of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story which has recently been shared on social media reveals a deleted scene of #DarthVader from the movie. Lucasfilm’s first Star Wars spin-off released in 2016, shed light on one of the rebels’ war episodes in their fight against the empire that followed the command and the rebel pilots who sacrificed their lives to steal the plans for the Star. of death. This action was essential to obtain the weak point of the space station and be able to destroy it in 'A New Hope'.
 


#PeterCushing was recreated via CGI to include Grand Moff Tarkin; meanwhile, a different actress was used as Princess Leia, but the visuals made her look a bit more like young Carrie Fisher. Finally, Darth Vader was also in the movie.
 
 
EXTRACTS FROM A NEW INTERVIEW with #GUYHENRY now at the Facebook PCASUK Fan Page


ALTHOUGH used sparingly, #RogueOne had one of its most iconic scenes in #StarWars yet: the terrifying hallway scene. But aside from this and a couple more appearances throughout the film, there was supposed to be another sequence that he was involved in. A still from that scene was recently revealed by #ILM animation director Hal Hickel. In the comments, he said that Vader was supposed to have a conversation with #Tarkin in this scene; unfortunately, he couldn’t remember what the dialogue was going to be!!!
 

FULL STORY :HERE! 
 
IT'S NO SECRET that Rogue One went through some significant changes with script rewrites and new footage that ultimately altered the film’s final epic ending. This particular shot of Vader appeared in trailers for the film, but never appeared in the theatrical cut of the film. Hickel didn’t go into detail about why it was cut, but said it didn’t fit the final shape of the project, so they decided to scrap it. It’s understandable that fans in the comments are asking for more information. Some of them raised the idea of ​​Lucasfilm releasing an extended version with this particular moment and all other unused shots. Hickel responded that there is enough interest, and that it is not out of the question.
 




DEPENDING ON WHAT #Vader and Tarkin were talking about in the aforementioned scene, it could have been one of the best scenes in the movie that was eventually cut. The enduring appeal of 'Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ' is that it never lost sight of what it was supposed to be, with the focus on its main characters. But, he peppered enough references and cameos to effectively establish his place in the franchise, and the use of Vader was just enough not to outshine his main characters.
 

HMMM WELL, THEY CERTAINLY KNOW how to cast that hook huh? I can't wait to hear those lines and see that footage, plus I would think the extras would be something special too? What do you think?? - Marcus

EYE FOR AN EYE : WHEN #CHRISTOPHERLEE DID SNL : VINTAGE COLLECTABLE CARDS


SINCE THE FIRST #Hammerfilms Frankenstein movie in 1957, then followed by Cushing's appearance as the iconic detective in 1959, in 'The Hound of the Baskervilles', Peter Cushing and a publicity photograph posed with a magnifying glass, held up to his probing eye, has never been far away. More or less any synopsis that carries a scene of investigation be it criminal, scientific, almost always merited PC and the glass, with his LEFT eye magnified to startling proportions! 
 


COME 1984, the shot and pose was so well known and expected, that Cushing's guest appearance in the  Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker spoof spy movie 'Top Secret', kicked off with a shot his book store proprietor, peering into the camera, while reading a book with, a magnifying glass, with of course large right eye! It is only when Cushing moves the glass from his eye, we see the right eye IS huge . . without the magnification!
 



IT WAS A GOOD quick gag and quite unexpected. 
 

#PeterCushing and #BurgessMeredith in #AmicusFilms 'TortureGarden' (1966) .. sadly they didn't share a scene together, but Cushing's scenes with #JackPalance were total magic. What a shame that the opportunity for PC to work with them again, never happened. With a magic wand, which Peter Cushing film, would you have cast BOTH of them with Cushing... if you could? 😊


#ChristopherLee on his time fronting the US 'Saturday Night Live' show in 1978.
 





BACK IN THE LATE 1950's televisions had really become popular, even though we had two television channels to watch, black and white broadcast picture! TV's were still quite expensive, but a live televised event on 2 June, 1953 soon changed that, #QueenElizabethII was crowned and everyone wanted a TV to tube in! Television's were also expensive to get repaired, so a company called Telesurance started up business, where you could pay weekly or monthly to cover costs of blown valves, tubes and amps!
 

THERE WAS ONE ACTOR who was seen more on tv in #BBC dramas and chat shows at this time, more than most. Such was his popularity, he was one of the very much sort after faces in the collectable cards, that the company offered to customers to collect! This one at some point was also signed by #PeterCushing
 
OVER AT THE Facebook PCASUK Fan Page, we've asked if you collect cards which also featured PC? I'd love to see them😊 Joke from UK celebrity and comedian #TommyTrinder in the mid 1950's : 'What sits in your living room corner with buttons on ,and entertains entertains, EVERY night? Answer : Peter Cushing' 😆

FROM IMPRESSIVE artwork, to weird!
Do you also find this a puzzling Image? Followers and friends often send me images and stuffs they come across, on the net, in books, magazines . . and all are appreciated and often a lot of fun, but this one... I have no idea, what the combination of these objects are with Lee?
 
IT APPEARS to be an intended obituary notice banner to #ChristopherLee, (??) a poem in French.. the images of a very grand dress with oriental dragon pattern, a pair of crystal high heels shoes and a matching hand/clutch bag, with some blue flowers... all have in common??? Many thanks to Colleen Crouch who sent this along to the Facebook PCASUK Fan Page... looking for an answer too! ANY ideas?
