Sorry to hear that special effects genius, Douglas Trumbull has died aged 79. As most of us on here will know Trumbull worked on 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Blade Runner. He also directed Silent Running and Brainstorm.
Our sincere condolences to family.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Arto, same here. Oddly enough I watched Close Encounters..the other day, still impressive effects!
DeleteVery sad news Scoop, a true effects genius. I like his directing too, Brainstorm being one of my fave sci-fi flicks of the 80's. RIP Douglas.
