New film "The Heavy"
Today, Christopher Lee says that he knows very quickly with the trick of a film whether it becomes a success or not. Finally, the probably most famous actor of villains played along "The Heavy" of Marcus Warren in the British political thriller.
Lee: "I believe that it becomes a very good film. I act as no villain but a very good man. He has two sons - one the other wants to become prime minister and comes right in difficulties."

Re: New film ?????
Well our friend Luzmila put me informed of this link, where Mr. Lee comments on of the film " THE Heavy", besides other things.
Link is in German. A translator in this case doesn't help a lot, but even so I will put the text in English. I hope it is possible to understand something (if somebody doesn't speak German).

It accompanies him long already half a life, he tells in the interview with radio Carinthia editor Michaela Monschein:
"I read the books as they came out. An after the other. It was a literary genius's fantastic performance for me. I still am today confident from it. The man of the rings is simply unique. I read the books every year and it never becomes boring.
First meeting with Tolkien is approximately 50 years ago
In the 1950er years, Christopher Lee met the author in his favorite pub in Oxford. The Inklings, a literary circle, to which also of C.. Lewis belonged, met and the baby" for itself in the "The Bird always.

At the interview, Christopher Lee remembers his first visit in Carinthia on the terrace of the new palace hotel in Velden. He/it had to evacuate a prisoner camp with political opponents of Tito and Stalin in June 1945.

Re: New film ?????
Hi!
On the 25th of June Mr. Lee and the Danish "Tolkien Ensemble" presented the "Lord of the Rings" in Berlin's Spandau Citadel. Despite the horrible weather (open-air) it was a marvellous evening. Mr. Lee told us that, when meeting Mr. Tolkien in this Oxford pub, he was really nervous and actually didn't know whether to shake hands or to kneel before his idol. The show itself was phantastic. The musicians were great, there were a couple of phantastic singers and Mr. Lee's voice even outrang the noise of the airplanes starting on the nearby airport and created a stirring atmosphere in this old brick fortress.
Cheers,
Andreas.
