As some of you know, I'm a big fan of the original making of ESB book, Once Upon A Galaxy. One of the best parts of the book is a transcript of the day Kershner wore a wireless microphone while preparing to shoot Han getting frozen. It's an amazing snapshot of what it was like making a tense sequence, and what a good director does to make it happen. Not to mention the moment when Harrison Ford dreams up the best line Lucas never wrote. ;)

I'm pretty sure this photo was shot that same day.

Never Say Never Again aired as part of the 007 marathon on SciFi over the Thanksgiving holiday. I was a little surprised to see it as it's one of the "rogue" films like the original Casino Royale.

I hope TCM will pay him tribute, and perhaps devote a day to showing some of his pre Empire films. I've never seen Eyes of Laura Mars all the way through.
