Rest in Peace - Antonia Bird
While the name may not immediately jump out at you, Antonia Bird delivered one of our most favorite films here at Dread Central called Ravenous. It's with a heavy heart we report that she's been taken from us at the all too young age of 54.
The sad news comes to us from the UK film site Eye For Film. No cause of death has been announced at this time as the news just broke early this morning after Bird passed away in London, England. We'll keep an eye out for more and update this story accordingly.
In addition to Ravenous, she was much admired for her intense, realistic films, including Priest, Mad Love and Face, for which she won a BAFTA. She also worked extensively in television, making her mark in series like "Casualty."
We here at Dread Central would like to take this time to offer our deepest of condolences to Bird's friends, family, and constituents. She will sincerely be missed. Godspeed.

Lou Reed mit 71 Jahren verstorben
Nachdem Lou Reed sich im Mai dieses Jahres einer Lebertransplantation unterzogen hatte, war er voller Zuversicht. Auf Facebook postete er damals: "Ich bin ein Triumph der modernen Medizin, der Physik und der Chemie. Ich bin größer und stärker als je zuvor." Er freue sich darauf, bald wieder auf der Bühne zu stehen, setzte Reed hinzu, er wolle "noch bis in ferne Zukunft Lieder schreiben, um eine Verbindung zu Euren Herzen und Eurem Geist und dem Universum herzustellen". Nun ist Reed im Alter von 71 Jahren gestorben. Der US-amerikanische "Rolling Stone" berichtet, Reeds Todesursache sei bislang noch nicht mitgeteilt worden. (Spiegel.de)

Ich bin geschockt, Ironie des Schicksals nennt man das wohl das ausgerechnet er bei einem Autounfall stirbt.

While we mourn the death of Paul Walker and the driver of the vehicle, Roger Rodas, the Los Angeles County Sherriff has stated that the cause of the collision is still under investigation. But the LASD does confirm that speed was a factor in the deadly car crash on Saturday, Nov. 30.
The two men were in a red 2005 Porsche Carrera GT and Walker was photographed right next to the vehicle right before the fatal accident at a charity event for his organization, Reach Out Worldwide. (eonline.com)

R.I.P. Paul Walker
Noch bitterer ist die Ironie, dass er laut Hollywood Reporter viele Stunts bei den F&F-Filmen selbst gemacht hat und nun bei einer Fahrt, die eigentlich Routine sein sollte, als Beifahrer ums Leben kam.

Jetzt ist es amtlich: Der Wagen war zum Zeitpunkt des Unfalls mit rund 160 km/h unterwegs - innerhalb einer US-Ortschaft auf einer Straße mit Kurven, wohlgemerkt...
