GinfromGA Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Awesome guest announcement. Have had the pleasure of meeting the legend that is John Hurt on a couple of occasions in the past and I can honestly say that he is one of my favourites. Considering that he is a true acting icon in the world of TV and Film throughout the world, he is very humble and a true gentleman You would be mad to miss this opportunity!! I agree. I was at a talk with him recently and he is a very humble soul, with a career that is quite exceptional. I actually think that with the greatest of respect to the other actors at this years LFCC, Johns body of work is on a totally different level. I for one will be raiding my piggy bank to get the chance to me this extraordinary and talented actor. I think it will be beans on toast for tea the next few weeks!

GinfromGA Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Is there any way to know what types of stills will be available at the table. Logic would indicate that Mr Hurt would have some pics from The Elephant Man, but since it's an older film, and younger audiences probably know him from DW and HP, it's possible that he may not. I was surprised at another event this year that Mark Addy didn't have any stills from The Full Monty..... I don't want to show up on Saturday with nothing from EM to get signed - it's one of my all-time favourite films, and the first one I know JH from!

Unfortunately we can never say - even if we knew, there would be no way to guarantee that the photo you want would still be available when you got there, some photos do sometimes run out. If you want a specific image or role, it's always a good idea to source your own photo. (There are places that sell 8x10 images, or get your own printed from snapfish/photobox etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adriangill Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Any such 'box' will not be blue. Nor will it be larger on the inside than the outside..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lois Lawson Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 For me, it'll be either an Elephant Man, Alien photo or one from a film he was in called The Ghoul from 1975. A great Hammer dity that also starred Peter Cushing. I may have to source that photo myself though 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so frustrating that stills and even dvd copies of The Ghoul are so difficult to find. I was at a talk with John recently who talked about working on film with the brilliant Peter Cushing, a little hidden horror gem in my humble opinion. The cost will probably limit me to one auto though sadly, so for me a toss up between the brilliant Alien or the superb Elephant Man. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to source that photo myself though John was indeed in The Ghoul, but it wasn't a Hammer Production, it was made by a company called Tyburn Films although I can see why you would think it might be as it also starred Peter Cushing and was written by John Elder (which was a pen name for Anthony Hinds) and was very much part of the Hammer Story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar6662 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Now if he does a talk on the other hand that would be a no brainer for me I was at EMS 2011 and feel it would be a pity if he was just part of the DW talk. Given his large body of work (much of which he's forgotten and a lot of which he admitted were absolute stinkers to use his terminology) it was fascinating to hear him talk on his own about it all. He could easily have gone on for twice as long and kept everyone enthralled. I'd highly recommend going if you can. Here's a pic I took at that talk.

Jabba90 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Great guest, only going on the Sunday so will have my fingers crossed he is announced in the future. My choice would've been a signed 10x8 of him as Kane in the classic chestburster scene from Alien! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to find something online, but it's not easy; am finding loads from DW, HP and the 4th Indiana Jones film (yikes!), but not the one I really want from EM.....Am going to keep looking as long as possible lo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will likely to stalls selling other photos too that may have what you want but always best to try and source it yourself if you have a particular image in mind.

Zahariel Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Couldn't find anything that seemed to represent the Alien franchise without emphasising any one film more then a plain 'Weyland-Yutani' logo. Might have to wear my 'WY' hoody for the shoot too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
