“2001: A Space Odyssey.” “The Andromeda Strain.” “Silent Running.” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” “Blade Runner.” “Brainstorm.” “The Tree of Life.” There’s no shortage of things to talk about when it comes to special effects legend Douglas Trumbull.
Trumbull died on February 7 at the age of 79 and took a part of the movies with him. Before the pervasive banality of CGI deadened the world’s senses, Trumbull fueled our dreams by forging new realities in which special effects were very special indeed.
Lew Place will be our guest this week, as we pay tribute to Trumbull, on the next Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. Leave us trembling with your insights in the comments section, when we livestream on Facebook, this Friday evening at 7:00 EST!
