"It's pretty much impossible to go anywhere in Iraq and not be reminded of Saddam. Thousands of portraits of him appear on walls and in glazed mosaic tiles on concrete plaques. In granite, bronze, and gilded statues he holds a sword aloft; he prays; he rides a prancing stallion. Saddam smiles, frowns, fires guns, smokes cigars. He is depicted wearing a black leather greatcoat and matching trilby; in military uniform; in Arab robes, three-piece suits, and even, oddly, trekking gear. He is sometimes thin, sometimes imposingly muscular, occasionally fat, his face pouchy and double-chinned. He wears a judge's robes and holds scales in his hands; dandles small children on his knee; stands with bloodied sword over a mutilated serpent whose tail is in the form of a cruise missile. On one building, eight identical smiling Saddams are set together, creating an effect not unlike that of Warhol's 'Marilyn Diptych.'" -- Jon Lee Anderson, "The Unvanquished", The New Yorker, December 11, 2000
It's almost chilling how similar this sounds to the ridiculous propaganda images on social media used in the present-day United States to build up the MAGA/Trump personality cult. This is happening here.

Moonie Women on Capitol Hill
From Inside the League: The Shocking Expose of How Terrorists, Nazis, and Latin American Death Squads Have Infiltrated the World Anti-Communist League by Scott Anderson and Jon Lee Anderson
Tumblr media
The Moonie infiltration program was implemented in the mid-1970s. Female disciples were directed to "hang around" the offices and volunteer to take on extra work for Les AuCoin (D-Oregon) and John Hammerschmidt (R-Arkansas). When the workload became especially heavy, their offers would be accepted. Employment would then follow, either with the office or through a well-placed recommendation. The favored offices, of course, would be those that dealt in legislation that could touch Moon, either in an investigative or regulatory way. The objectives would be leaks and influence. 
Although the "young ladies" operation never achieved the level Moon had hoped for, his followers were able to ingratiate themselves into several congressional staffs, including those of House Speaker Carl Albert (D-Arkansas), Les AuCoin (D-Oregon), and John Hammerschmidt (R-Arkansas).

The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee Kickstarts Deluxe Blu-ray Edition
The Life and Deaths of Christopher Lee mixes traditional documentary with a dash of fantasy. It is narrated by Christopher Lee himself... in the form of an elaborate marionette, voiced by Peter Serafinowicz. The marionette was custom designed and built by Arch Model Studios, who made all of the puppets for Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox, Isle of Dogs and Asteroid City and Tim Burton's Frankenweenie. 
Tumblr media
The film combines new, exclusive interviews with filmmakers, including Peter Jackson, John Landis and Joe Dante, friends and family members with animated flights of fantasy from a wide variety of artists including 2000AD's Simon Coleby, award winning stop-motion animator Astrid Goldsmith and the legendary illustrator Dave McKean who directed, scored and animated a whole chapter of the film himself. 
Tumblr media
Spanning eight decades and almost three hundred films, Christopher Lee became famous for his iconic performance as Dracula. But he was so much more than just the Hammer Horror roles he is so fondly remembered for. His career took him from uncredited parts in 1950s swashbucklers with Errol Flynn, through famous performances in 007 and Star Wars films, cult hits like The Wicker Man and The Return of Captain Invincible, right up to a lead role in cinema's biggest event - The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Along the way, he worked with everyone from Orson Welles to Mario Bava, Jess Franco, Tim Burton, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg. 
Tumblr media
Yet his story is so much richer than just his career. Lee was born into Italian aristocracy, with a military career shrouded in secrecy and kept his private life closely guarded. Some of his ventures and adventures seem highly improbable yet, as the film reveals, he often found himself in unexpected situations - he witnessed the last ever death by guillotine, was cousins with 007 creator Ian Fleming, he met Tolkien, performed with the classic Saturday Night Live line-up, was a friend and neighbour of Boris Karloff, he was the oldest person to ever get on the Billboard music charts (with his own Heavy Metal album), was an expert knife thrower, professional opera singer and a Nazi hunter. And somehow, he also managed to appear in almost 300 films of both the highest and lowest quality imaginable. 
Tumblr media
The film is finished and producers Jon Spira and Hank Starrs want to share it with you by producing a top quality Blu-Ray with great extra features and a really amazing LIMITED/NUMBERED EDITION COFFIN-SHAPED BOX SET, full of goodies, which will look killer on the shelf of any discerning cineaste. The jewel in the crown of this box-set will be a 3D 'death mask' of Christopher Lee designed and produced by Arch Model Studio exclusively for this set. They also want to host some screenings - both online and in real cinemas - so we can all experience it together and you can get to meet some of the people behind it.
Tumblr media
Making this film has been a fascinating journey - producers excavated the British Film Institute archives where they hold Lee's personal collection of scrapbooks detailing his career in his own hand, been given access to personal photos from the family archive, they met and interviewed his closest friends and family from all over the world and we've worked with some incredible artists, puppeteers, animators, musicians and filmmakers to bring his story to the screen in the most cinematic way. Whether you're a fan of Horror, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings or just cinema history in general, we think you'll be delighted by this revealing and eclectic documentary.
Risks and challenges
The film is fully edited and ready to go. This Kickstarter is to fund the final bits of post-production and the production of a fantastic Blu-ray and deluxe collectors edition box set as we're all still committed to physical media. Please note that all illustrations of rewards are designs/prototype images. The final items might differ - we hope they'll actually be better.

TEAM EYEGLASSES OR TEAM MONOCLE?
Gotta say, Team Monocle has Laird Mackintosh... But Team Eyeglasses has more variation... It's a hard one!
Originally André wore eyeglasses, but at some point the monocle was introduced as an alternative - if he wears anything at all. The tendency has been to feature André with the eyewear in West End and Broadway, while it in international productions is more common to fit Firmin with the eyewear. In the design for the Managers office it's André who is shown with eyewear; it looks like a pinse-nez construction with chain. However, Firmin is shown with a monocle in the Hannibal scene's design.
Here's Gilles André's various styles in the replica productions. And please note that it's not by any means a complete list, just different examples from around the world.
Maria Bjørnson's design (detail)
Mark Siney, Hamburg
David Firth, original West End
Thomas Schulze with Tomas Bayer, Hamburg
Richard Reardon with David Cryer, US Tour
Wolfgang Pampel with Jack Poppel, Vienna
David Firth, original West End
Cris Groenendaal, original Broadway
Sam Hiller with Richard Hazell, West End
Jeff Keller (?) with George Lee Andrews, Broadway
DC Anderson with Bruce Winant, US Tour
Bradley Dean, Broadway
Greg Mills, Broadway
Aaron Galligan-Stierle, Broadway
Ian Jon Bourg, Las Vegas
Yusuke Kitawa, Tokyo
Kenn Derby, Hamburg
