    1. Fuck, from just this April: https://7news.com.au/news/sam-neill-reveals-cancer-battle-and-fight-for-life-saving-treatment-access-c-22195450

      > “I’ve been living with a particular type of lymphoma for about five years and I was on chemotherapy and the pretty miserable business but it was keeping me alive,” Neill said.

      > “Then the chemo stopped working. I was at a loss and it looked like I was on the way out, which wasn’t ideal obviously.”

      > “I’ve just had a scan just now and there is no cancer in my body, that’s an extraordinary thing,” added Neill.

      > “It’s time I did another movie.”

      Horrible how this can happen, RIP.

      Come on Death! You were doing some really good things! Why did you have to fucking take Sam Neill!!!

    3. 78 with lymphoma. Not exactly shocking. That’s a respectable age for anyone, I hope he didn’t suffer.

      He’ll be remembered in cinema history forever ❤️

      Always heartbreaking when good people leave us too soon

      This year is starting to feel like 2016 all over again.

      Whenever you see a picture of a celebrity in the press it’s because they’ve died.

      This is a really sad one and sounds like a shock to the family. He was so great.

      I know he will be most remembered for Jurassic Park. But he was my Merlin. RIP.

    7. Oh for fucks sake. This is genuinely making me sad. Jurassic Park was everything to me as a kid. Farewell and godspeed, Sam.

      That’s very sad.

      Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies of all time. Dr. Grant inspired an entire generation of us to love dinosaurs.

      RIP

      Damn shame, he was a fine actor. Condolences to his family, friends, and the New Zealand people.

      “In the mouth of madness” is such a good movie. I recommend it if you have never seen it

    11. Everyone, please watch Until the End of the World. It’s an amazing movie and Sam is fantastic.

      But did he ever get to see Montana?

      (OK, so I’m also heartbroken because he was a good actor in a lot of great movies, and I’m glad he succeeded in entertaining us. I believe he would have even liked the little quip.)

      The family said he died cancer free. He also died in hospital surrounded by family.

      At 78, so young in this day and age. My heart goes out to his family.

      aw man that sucks so bad 😞

      His performance in “In the mouth of Madness” was probably my favorite.
      Great charismatic actor in general, really liked him in a lot of movies. RIP 😟

    15. well goddamnit this was not the “three” we were hoping for.

      This week feels like Death is at the Mended Drum, ten paces from the dartboard and ten pints in.

      His performance in Event Horizon is absolutely iconic. He elevated that movie far beyond what it would have been without him. So sad to see this.

    17. While most of us love him for Jurassic Park please watch Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Incredible performance.
