Re: Christopher Lee Retrospective
Hello everyone,
I agree with all of you regarding The Making of a Legend. It would definitely be wonderful to see more volumes released, especially as the first volume ends in the year 1957 leading up to the moment that would prove to be a crucial turning point (one of many) in Mr Lee's cinematic career. However, I also understand that Mr Lee remains a remarkably busy actor with current and forthcoming projects and commitments, and I can imagine that recording this kind of retrospective demands a great deal of time and consideration.
I remember discussing this with Juan a couple of years or so ago at a signing event for "Revelation", and I recall that he said the project would also require and/or benefit from professional technical assistance "behind the cameras", so to speak. Juan suggested that I raise the idea of continuing the series with Mr Lee himself, which I did, and Mr Lee seemed really enthusiastic about it. I suppose that the major factor is finding the time and getting everything in place in order to record it. I would also like to see other actors who have worked with Mr Lee contributing to the retrospective, such as John Rhys-Davies who provided the introduction to the first volume; perhaps even directors too. In any case, it would be a worthwhile project to try to achieve. Anyway, take care everyone:
Warmest regards,
Andrés
