The Alien Thing - The Elephant Man flac album

The Elephant Man is a 1980 historical drama film about Joseph Merrick (whom the script calls John Merrick), a severely deformed man in late 19th century London.

Veteran British actor Sir John Hurt, Oscar-nominated for his star turn in ‘The Elephant Man’ and his supporting role in ‘Midnight Express’, has died after a long battle with pancreatic cancer, a representative said on Saturday. He was 77. Hurt, who had starred in more than 200 films and television series over a career spanning six decades, revealed in 2015 that he was suffering from the early stages of pancreatic cancer and that he was receiving treatment. He loved Ireland, he said. He had a thing with Ireland. He did that programme and it came as a huge shock to him that he wasn’t Irish. He was desperately upset by that programme. Hurt also played a key role in the original 1979 sci-fi thriller ‘Alien’. His character, Kane, became the first member of a space merchant vessel crew to fall victim to a fearsome life form, encountered on a distant moon, when a deadly parasitic creature burst from his chest.

The Elephant Man received eight Academy Award nominations, including one for Hurt as best actor, but went home empty on Oscar night. Hurt lost out to Robert De Niro as boxer Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull. In 1980, he recalled the extensive makeup needed to become the kind-hearted man with the monstrous skull. It never occurred to me it would take eight hours for them to apply the full thing - virtually a working day in itself. There were 16 different pieces to that mask, he said. With all that makeup on, I couldn’t be sure what I was doing.

The Elephant Man is a play by Bernard Pomerance. It premiered at the Hampstead Theatre in London on 7 November 1977. It later played in repertory at the National Theatre in London.

The Elephant Man make-up took seven to eight hours to apply each day, and two hours to remove. Sir John Hurt would arrive on the set at 5:00 . and shoot from noon until 10:00 . Because of the strain on the actor, he worked alternate days.
